Just Us Girls #326 - Color Week

This time at Just Us Girls it's Color Week.  Maria is our hostess and she has chosen Dark Blue, Light Blue and White as our inspiration.  Please use only these  three colors.

This one was a fun one to do.  I knew I wanted to do something with stars when I heard the colors.  I used a die set from Lil' Inkers called Stitched Star Dies.  I love these dies because they also make a stitched line on the negative piece of card stock.  In this case, I decided to do an inlay effect so you can see both sets of stitch lines.  The little stamped stars are from a PTI set called Scene It Celebration.  The sentiment is from a PTI set called Birthday Cheer.

I've been thinking about my brother a lot lately.  He died very unexpectedly in 1991.  He always used to say he had to get his ducks in a row.  A few years ago, I saw this set at There She Goes Stamps and had to buy it.  So, when I learned Maria's color choices, this is what popped into my head.

This was a fun color combo to work with and not one that I usually use.  I made the background using a Background Basics Art Deco stamp and some grey flannel & black onyx ink.  I pulled out a Verve flower set that I haven't used in a long time and stamped the flowers in Cherry Red ink.  Since I couldn't use green for the leaves, I stamped them in grey.  I added some stitched circle dies and embossed the sentiment in black.

Here's my card

I used the Center Stage Cover Plate from PTI for my background.  This is such a fun die.  I  love the inlay look.  I had to cut this out in four different colors for this card.  I have lots of pieces left over for another card or two.  The gorgeous flowers are from PTI.  Their three stamp process is stunning!  I love them in pink.  I used a Fancy Framed Tags Two die from Spellbinders as the base for the sentiment, and added some enamel dots from My Mind's Eye.

This card I actually made first but couldn't decide if I liked it or not.  I used a new stamp set from W Plus 9 called Just Geometrics - Triangles and stamped them with Gina K. Designs Bubblegum Pink, Kraft and Navy ink.  I used the Envie Wrap and Circles & Scallops dies from Reverse Confetti and the sentiment is called Roundabout Additions, also, from Reverse Confetti.  Thanks for coming by to look!

Just Us Girls #276 - Color Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Color Week!  Maria is hosting and she has chosen Blue, Orange and Green as our colors.

Here's my card

This card was a labor of love.  I'm giving it to my husband on January 20th when we will be celebrating our 42nd wedding anniversary.  My how the time flies!  When I saw this color combo, I started looking through some of my patterned paper and I got very lucky to find a pack that featured green, orange & blue.  Mine has two shades of blue, one navy and one aqua.  I hope that will be alright with Maria. After Christmas, The Cat's Pajamas had a big sale and I was able to pick up this fun ticket set and die. I really love this and know I will find lots of uses for it.  The tag die is from Reverse Confetti and the numbers are from PTI.
