Just Us Girls #638 - Photo Week

 VIcki has a real tropical photo for us at Just Us Girls this week.

There are a lot of different things that could inspire a card so I hope you'll join in the challlenge. I combined a number of images to make my card.


I started with Polynesian Paradise by My Favorite Things.  The hibiscus and pineapple were randomly stamped and lightly watercolored to make a background.  The littlel hula dancer was colored with with Altenew Artist markers and a few Copics.  To ground her and make her stand out from the background, I cut a dome from Waffle Flower, colored it with Distress Ink and added the sentiment from the set.  For the piece de resistance, she's on an action wobble.  I mean a dancer has to dance. 😁

Our guest designer Lucie G and the rest of the Design Team have some wonderful cards to show you, hoping to encourage you to make a card for the gallery.




Edited to Add:  Now that I've seen the Time Out challenge, I want to send my card over there.  Plus I was an HM at their last challenge so I'm obligated. ;)

Great coloring of one of my favorite stamps! After I made my card for this challenge, I remembered that this set has a pineapple in it. I love your soft coloring and then the pop of turquoise! AWESOME job!

Oh my goodness, she's adorable! Love the whole card but definitely even more so when she has the freedom to swing her little hips!

Your little hula girl is adorable and so perfect to use the action wobble to make her dance! I love that soft background with the pineapples and flowers, the perfect backdrop for her.
