Just Us Girls #835 - Die Week

It's Die Week again at Just Us Girls with Vicki as our host.

I want to welcome our guest designer for this month, Betty Keefe at Created by BJK.  She and the rest of the Design Team have created wonderful cards to inspire you.  

My inspiration came from a friend's Cosmos Garden.

Mine are a little darker and I exchanged the stone wall for brick using Honey Bee's Rustic Brick Wall.  The Garden Cosmos are from Altenew, cut from their Vineyard Berry, Warm Sunshine and Mountain Pine cardstock.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders Just Add Cake.

I hope I see your card in our gallery.

Freshly Made Sketches #725

My Free Form stencil from MFT disappeared and that was what I was going to use for a card for Freshly Made Sketches.  Time to pivot.  

The Punch and Pierced Plate from SB was already cut in the folder and made a lovely background for a simple, inked bloom from Altenew's Garden Cosmos, done in Gina K's light and medium Carnation and Altenew's Silver Sprout and Sagestone.  The little sentiment is from BetterPress.  

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

Color Throwdown #845 and NBUS #80

Sadly Color Throwdown is closing their challenge after #845 is complete.  It wouldn't be right not to make a card to say goodbye and to thank all of the design team members past and present for giving us such a fun and colorful challenge.  

My favorite thing next to birds is flowers and I just had to have this Garden Cosmos die set from Altenew.  I think they are so dainty, especially their feathery leaves.  They were colored in Altenew inks - Fresh Lemon for the body, Chamomile for the edges which was also used for the centers of the flowers and the corners of the card and Sweet Leaf and Just Green for the leaves.  A panel was cut with Spellbinders Notched Corners and embossed with SU Subtle folder.  The sentiment is from Betterpress.

A new die means my card is headed for Darnell's NBUS challenge too.
