Just Us Girls #635 - Word Week

Lisa E is our host for Word Week at Just Us Girls and this is her word. 


This should be a colorful gallery.  I've seen a number of cards made with the 'new' die cut paintbrush and they are so cute.  Alas I do not have that die so I went with an oldie.


My paintbrushes are part of the PTI jar series and were colored with Altenew artist markers.  I decided to make it into a shaker using the two part die.  The jar is cut from a piece of gel print panel, layered three or four times with acetate between the first two.  I had a bunch of leftover squares from a grid die and thought they looked like paint chips so colored them with markers to put in the shaker.  Glossy accents was added to the 'paint'.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Now it's your turn.  We'd love to see your rendition of a paintbrush on a card.  For inspiration check out what the Design Team and our guest designer have made.
