Just Us Girls #553 - Trend Week

 Nancy has chosen a really fun Trend Week Challenge at Just Us Girls this week!

Come check out what our Guest Designer, Lindsey and the rest of the amazing Design Team have created by cutting it into thirds over at JUGS.

I have to admit that when I made this I had masked and inked the background with Distress Oxide inks and stamped the vase and flowers to create a one layer card, and then realized that I was supposed to cut it into thirds!  Instead of starting over, I just cut along the edges of the colors and left the image intact.  Between the little stems crossing the top layers I cheated and used a white gel pen.  Used some light blue Stickles to add sparkle to the vase.  Added some dots of colors to the flower petals in various colors of markers and gel pens and they still weren't grabbing me, so I added some white gel pen along the edges of the petals and purple souffle pen to the little buds.  Still not a fan of this, but it is what it is!

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

Just Us Girls #552 - Word Week

I would like to welcome our September Guest Designer - Lindsey!  Come check out JUGS to see all of the leaves by Lindsey and the rest of the amazing Design Team!

Using Gina K stamps.  First stamped the leaves on watercolor paper and colored with waterbrush and watercolor pencils.  Cut them out by hand.  Stamped the wood slice with Memento Espresso Truffle ink and colored with a Touch Twin marker in Blondewood.  Stamped the sentiment in Gina K Amalgam ink.
