Just Us Girls #327 - Photo Week

This time at Just Us Girls it's Photo Week.  Sharyn here and I am your hostess for this week's challenge.  I've chosen a fun photo for your inspiration.

I hope everyone in the blizzard zone is safe and warm during this storm.  Maybe a little time for crafting.....just saying!



There is a lot of inspiration in this photo.  I hope you will come and play along.  I drew my inspiration from the yellow and blue colors and the anchor.  I started with a stamp set from Gina K. Designs and used the anchor stamp to make my background.  I stamped the anchors in GKD Sweet Corn and Blue Denim.  Then I pulled out some dies and a stamp from Reverse Confetti to create the band and sentiment.  The anchor is a die from Momenta that I embossed with Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our Guest Designers, Deepti and Vicki, have made this week.

If you win Chic of the Week in any of our January challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of March.  Good luck!

The Recipe:
GKD Ship to Shore
RC Roundabout Additions
RC Envie Wrap, Circles & Scallops dies
Momenta die set - Anchor
Ranger Liquid Platinum EP

  2. A fun photo and great challenge. I don't have much in nautical stamps, so I love how you made this a birthday card with the anchors in the background. Using the colors in the photo very creatively too. Oh, yes, the wavy border in the inside too.
