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. ;)

Just Us Girls #408 - Photo Week

Just look at this fun photo that Maria chose for this week's challenge at Just Us Girls.

There are lots of elements that could be used on a card.  I was inspired by the colors and the tropical vibe.

MFT's Polynesian Paradise makes up the bulk of my card.  DOX in Fossilized Amber shines through the popped up panel, showing off the flowers and dancer colored with Zigs and DIs.

We'd love to see how the photo inspires you.  Take a peek at what the Design Team and Guest Designer Darnell have done and then make a card of your own.  If you are chosen Chick of the Week, you will be in the running for a guest design spot in October.
