Just Us Girls #805 - Word Week

Elizabeth is our host again for Word Week at Just Us Girls and this is what she chose:

I saw Jennifer McGuire use a cute set from Pinkfresh Studio and had to add it to my stash, partly for the sentiments that include dies.

It's called Get Well Soon and the bundle includes the stamp, die, and stencil.  You can't tell but I used Lisa Horton's gold for the handles, spout and stripes on the saucer.  The background was partially embossed with Tasteful Textiles from SU and colored with Kitsch Flamingo, leaving the bottom smooth for a Hickory Smoke 'table'.

Laurel and the Design Team have some wonderful words of encouragement for you to see.  We hope to inspire you to make a card for the challenge.

The Flower Challenge #90

Hey there friends.  I'm glad you dropped by.

Can you believe April is here already?  It's a new month and time for the next The Flower Challenge.

With so many layering dies and background cover plates it should be easy to make a card with layers.  For lots of inspiration check out what the Design Team has made.  Here's my card.

I ran across a Brusho panel in my Bits box and thought it would make great crocuses.  I needed something to put them in and the teapot from Honey Bee came to the rescue.  It was cut from yellow cardstock,  inked in white with a brayer to highlight the raised portions and clear heat embossed to give it a fine china look.  The dome from Waffle Flower is embossed with the Tasteful Textiles folder from SU, layered for dimension and mounted on a Dove Gray card base.

We'd love to see your layered card in our gallery.

Inkspirational #291

I've been busy making cards without any challenges in mind.  Today I started looking at challenges and one of my cards will be great for the Seasonal challenge at Inkspirational. 

I made the tea pot from HoneyBee a while ago, inspired by a video that I can't find now.  It included braying white ink to bring out the dimension.  I was just waiting for an idea to hit me on what to fill it with when my new die set from Simon Hurley for Spellbinders came with five different flowers on it.  The lilies were made from white and off-white cardstock with inked stamens.  They are perfect for the Spring/Easter part of the challenge.

The weather has cooled so I'm heading back to my craft room to play some more.  You'll see the results sometime soon, maybe when I come across another challenge.
