Just Us Girls #263 - Color Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Color Week, and Lisa has picked a really fun color combo for us, Purple, Olive and Navy.  Here is how I was inspired!



I watched a video of Jennifer McGuire's on No Mess Glitter Die Cuts and fell in love with this die set from My Favorite Things called Geek is Chic.  I didn't add glitter to mine because I didn't have the double sided tape that she used, but here is what I did.  I first cut one pair of glasses out of white card stock.  I inked the bottom half of the glasses with navy ink and the top with purple ink.  I then cut four pairs of glasses from navy and purple card stock and glued them together.  I glued the inked pair to the top and then coated it with Glossy Accents.  After it dried, I applied another coat of Glossy Accents. These glasses are so stinking cute and shiny.  You would never know they were made of paper.  I just realized as I'm writing this post that while the green is supposed to be olive, I had in my mind lime, so my green is a little on the light side.  I black embossed the sentiment onto Vellum.

The Recipe:
My Favorite Things Geek is Chic
Spellbinders Standard Circles and Scalloped Circles
Cuttlebug Spots and Dots
GKD Wild Lilac, Navy & Black Onyx CS
Glossy Accents
Wiggly Eyes

Please visit the Just Us Girls blog to see the wonderful cards the rest of the team and our GD, Wanda Cullen, have made this week.  I hope you will be inspired and play along.  We would love to see what you create!

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