Just Us Girls #348

It's color week at Just Us Girls and Ina has chosen an unusual color combination (IMHO).
I thought the best way to use those colors was with my Birds of Paradise by MFT.
I cut a circle in some Neenah Solar White and mounted it with foam onto the from of the card that had been lightly inked with Tumbled Glass.  The birds were colored with DI with some Glossy Accents added to the eyes.  The leaves are from MFT Wild Greenery cut in Summer Sunrise.

Now it's your turn.  Make a card using the chosen colors and you may be chosen as Chic of the Week, which would also make you eligible to be a guest designer in August.  Need more inspiration?  There is plenty from the Design Team on the JUGS blog.

Hope to see you there.

This card is amazing! Love the way your cut our the circle and have the beautiful birds perched! Super, Super job!

Kelly Griglione said...

Seriously, that is hilarious! Great idea to cut a circle for the birds to hang out in. It's a nice change from having a branch, which would have competed with your leaves on top. Way to work with those colors too, Bobby!

Kelly Griglione said...

Hahaha, I looked closer and saw there IS a branch as part of the bird stamp, but it obviously doesn't stand out too much, like one coming from the edge of the card would 🙂
