Thankful for Just Us Girls

Good Morning!

Today I am thrilled to say I am the Guest Designer at Just Us Girls for the whole month of September! Woohoo! This week's challenge is their color challenge and I have to say, it put me a little more into the fall mood. We also got some nice cooler weather the last couple days, but I'm not holding my breath that the Carolina swelter is gone just yet. September is peak hurricane season so don't think we're done with humidity yet.

I pulled out a floral stamp/stencil/die combo from Altenew because I knew it had to be a floral card and I knew the background was going to be blue. I stamped the flowers in Versamark and embossed them with gold embossing powder. Then, used the coordinating stencils to color them with dye inks and blending tool. I used the coordinating die to die cut it and two white dies to layer it up and glued them all together. I cut some blue cardstock and stamped it in Versamark and the Arched Background stamp by Simon Says Stamp and embossed it in the gold embossing powder. I trimmed that panel down and adhered it to some gold cardstock for some gold trim.  I adhered it to a white card base then attached the flower panel and cut off excess.  Finally, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and embossed it gold, cut it out and two others in white for layers with the coordinating sentiment die.  I glued it on top and added a couple of gold gems to the flower centers.

So now it's your turn! Stop by the JUGS blog and check out all the team's creative inspiration and come play along!
