I didn't have anything golf related so I decided to focus on the gradient background. I marked the card stock at 1/2 inch intervals and masked to sponge on the various colors. I took the color of the golfer's pants as the mum color. The sentiment was embossed on Vellum.
Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Carol Mayne, have made this time. I hope you will be inspired and come play along with us.
If you win Chic of the Week in any of our July challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Design for the month of September. Good luck!
