Just Us GIrls #840 - Word Week

 The Word of the Week at Just Us Girls as chosen by our host Ina is


This can mean just about anything but I decided to go with bold colors from a paper pack from A Colorful Life. 


I needed something simple to go with it so I cut the MFT Roses in Bloom die from black and then used Neat and Tangled Everyday Labels for the sentiment.  EZPZ.  Both the die and label stamp have been languishing in my stash for quite a while.  

What direction will the word 'bold' take you?  For inspiration, please check out the Design Team and our guest designer Julia Aston.

The Paper Players #802

The Paper Players has a candle challenge this week and I made a card


What do you think of this for a bright and happy birthday card? The dies are from SB's Just Add Cake kit cut from scraps.  The sentiments are from MFT.  I added some Nuvo drops to the flames and Pico Embellisher to the cherry for a bit of shine.  The background is embossed with the Tasteful Textile folder from SU and the frosting with SB Crackle Paint.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Inkspirational #375

Inkspirational has a fun visual prompt for their challenge this time.  Scrabble tiles.  And you can use whatever inspires you from that image.  Here's what I did.

I thought the banners in Simon Hurley's Mantle Decorations would look like Scrabble tiles if I did them in black and kraft.  Using his Mantle Village, I added the houses also in kraft and black with red doors.  What's a Christmas mantle without some greens and then I added the heart from the visual.  The background is Crackle Paint embossing folder from SB. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Freshly Made Sketches #752 and NBUS #90

The sketch at Freshly Made Sketches gave me a reason to get out my newly acquired Magical Fuchsia set from Alex Syberia.  


The set includes a press plate and stencil that I used with Altenew inks.  After cutting with the die, I placed it on a panel embossed with SSS Woven Rings folder and added a BetterPress sentiment.  I'm not entirely happy with how this turned out.  I have some ideas to make it better next time.  

Everything but the sentiment is new so the card will go to Darnell's NBUS.
