Just Us Girls #357

Another week has rolled around and they're passing by too quickly.  This is is our Color Challenge at Just Us Girls.
I started out with another card in mind until I remembered that I could use only the three colors.  I have a tendency to do that but I caught myself and switched gears.
I recently got the PTI Golden Gate Kit and planned to use the hollyhocks but they didn't look good without yellow centers.  I did use the lattice stencil from the kit for my background and added flowers from Altenew and a sentiment from Hero Arts, popped up on an oval die cut layered with foam.

What will you make using aqua, white and kraft?  For inspiration check out the Design Team and Guest Designer Colleen Foelker at Just Us Girls.  If you enter your card in the gallery, you may be chosen Chic of the Week and be eligible for a guest design spot in October.

So lovely, Bobby ... the trellis-y background is fabulous with those gorgeous blooms! Just had fun wandering through all your recent creativity ... such brilliant cards ... all so impeccably executed! I especially loved the tag and the vibrant stack of tropical birds! Congratulations on your GD spot at CTS! Bon weekend! Hugs, Anita :)

I just got that kit too, and haven't gotten it inky yet. I forgot there are stencils with it, love what you have done with them. Also love that you stamped the leaves in a non-traditional color. This is amazing!

Love that lattice background. Perfect for those gorgeous flowers. I need to sit and play with my Altenew flowers as they are such beautiful stamps.
PS I made the same mistake with the colours but made another and happier with the second one. It is so easy to do eh!

Beautiful florals on that woven backdrop -- awesome!
