Just Us Girls #571 - Trend Week

I bet you know what this week's trend is for Just Us Girls.  Yes, Maria chose slimline cards.

I haven't really jumped on that band wagon and the slimline cards I make are a little smaller than those others make.  Mine is 3 1/2 by 7 and I do have envelopes that size too. 

I stamped Altenew's Fabulous Florets all over the card and added a sentiment from Penny Black.  It needed something more so I found the little shape on another set and stamped them in black.  The flowers look a little brown on my screen but in actuality they are Amethyst and Grape Agate from Altenew.

Are you making slimline cards?  Why not try one and enter it into our challenge.  The Design Team and our guest designer Leslie Turner have some cards to inspire you on the blog.

Beautiful! I like the slim line card but I never made one with stamps. Maybe time to try...

Awesome 1 layer slimline

This is so pretty! I love how the flowers look like they are floating down the card. Great job with the slimline design.

Wonderful card, and I love the different size. It's weird how slimlines are different size but I guess if you can find an envelope to fit... Love your purple tones

The great thing about slimline is you can make any size you wish. This came out really well Bobby! I am so enthralled with your color combo on your flowers. It looks wonderful! Hope all is well with you! HUGS!

I like that you went with one layer for your slimline, it's lovely!

I like the smaller slimline cards myself and have made some even smaller. Love these amethyst flowers so beautifully placed around the card! I hope you are staying dry!

This is perfect! Love those flowers! Great job with this week's challenge.

Leslie said...

Beautiful! And I love the smaller slimline size, too. Your floral background is awesome as is the sentiment! Love it!

Simply beautiful Bobby. Gorgeous coloured flowers. Love the sentiment. My card is the same size as yours. Really like the smaller slimline size.

Beautiful card Bobby! I LOVE those gorgeous flowers. Great shading. I have only made one slimline card so far ... found it a bit hard to photograph as it was a twofer entry with a regular-sized card at the second. They look like Mutt and Jeff with the size difference. :) xx
