Just Us Girls #770 - Word Week

It's Word Week at Just Us Girls and our host Carol M has chosen 

You never know where you'll find inspiration.  For my card today it came in the form of a thank you when I ordered a new case for my phone. 

I loved the ink blended colors and of course the word was a prominent feature that popped out at me.  Here's my interpretation.


Pretty close, huh?  It all started with Distress Inks on Hammermill paper.  Once I was happy with it I trimmed it down with a SSS stitched rectangle.  The sentiment, both the die cut word and heat embossed happy birthday are from an old set from Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval which was actually a CAS-ual Friday design.  The flowers are anemones from WPlus9, another older stamp set.  They were heat embossed in white on watercolor scraps and colored with Distress Inks. 

If you need more inspiration, the design team and our guest designer have it ready for you on the blog.  Be sure and check it out and then make a card.  We'd love to see you in the gallery.
