Welcome to this week's Just Us Girls Challenge
Lisa is our hostess this week, and she's come up with a fun Photo Inspiration for us. Take a look!
Here's my card
I knew I had to have some kind of stripe when I saw that top spool. I used my PTI Center Stage Cover Plate and cut four different colors using Gina K. Designs Pure Luxury White, Turquoise Sea, Sweet Mango and Honey Mustard card stock. I created my background from those various pieces. The stamp set I used is called Sweet Friend from GKD. I enjoyed working with the pretty color combo in this photo. When I made this card about a week ago, we were under yet another Winter Storm Warning. Happily, the temperature climbed into the 50's today. I think, maybe, there is hope that Spring is finally coming.
