Just Us Girls #768 - Anything Goes Stencil Week

 It's Stencil Week at Just Us Girls!  Create whatever you like as long as it includes some stenciling.

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our amazing Guest Designer, Jeanne Jachna and the rest of our talented Design Team have created with stencils.

The background was created using a swirly stencil and Distress Oxide inks in blues and a greenish color.  Layered the inks sponging through the stencil, then moving the stencil and inking with another color, etc.  I think it has a watery look to it.  Had a piece that had been sprayed with blue and green shimmer spray which I used for the background in the shaker window.  Added some clear and colored (purple, green mix) and added the little whale.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Hop on over to JUGS to see what our talented Guest Designer Jeanne Jachna and the rest of our awesome Design Team have created with Green.

I obviously was inspired to make a St. Patrick's Day card!  Die cut the circles die from gold cardstock and 2 shades of green.  Inlaid the light green into the circles and the darker green around the circles and putting it together on a yet darker green card base.  Stamped the sentiment with a dark green in the largest circle and added a few die cut shamrocks.  Lot's of green going on here!

Just Us Girls #765 - Die Week

 It's Die Week at Just Us Girls and our amazing Designer Carol Mayne is our hostess.  This week Carol is challenging us the make a birthday card with dies.

Since this is the beginning of a new month for our challenges, that means a new Guest Designer!  Please welcome Jeanne Jachna who will be joining us this month!

Now hop on over to JUGS to see the birthday cards that Jeanne and the rest of our Design Team have created using die cuts.

This is for my son-in-law's birthday.  Die cut 3 beer bottles from Concord & 9th's Bottleful.  Colored by sponging on Distress inks.  After the ink dried, stenciled the dark brown stripes on the bottles and added some gold for the bottle caps. Stamped the dotted strip on the kraft base in white, but it wasn't showing up very well, so went over all the dots with white gel pen.  Lined the bottles up on the card base.   Die cut the sentiment and colored with a copper marker and layered onto a vellum shadow die cut.

Come share your die cut birthday cards with us and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.
