Just Us Girls #267 - Color Week

This week at Just Us Girls it's Color Week.  Sharyn, here,  I am your hostess, and the colors I have chosen are Red, Turquoise and Gold or yellow.  You can, also, use neutrals such as, white, black, kraft,  ivory, brown or gray.

Here's my card

When I was young, my parents,  my brother and I used to go ice skating.  We used to go to a place in Indianapolis called Lake Sullivan.  In the Winter, after the lake froze,  it was transformed into a beautiful ice skating rink.  There were hills for sledding too.  We had a slide-in camper that fit in the back of my dad's truck that we took with us.  It was a warm place to get out of the cold, and we were able to make hot chocolate......such good memories!

The stamp set I used is called On Ice and is available at Papertrey Ink.  The background stencil is from Tim Holtz and is called Holiday Knit.  I saw it a few weeks ago on a Kristina Werner video, and thought it was so cute.  It was perfect for my Winter themed card.  I used Dap Lightweight Spackle and some GKD turquoise sea ink to create my background.  I used some black embroidery thread to lace the skates and added some pom poms.  The sentiment was embossed with gold embossing powder on Vellum.  Thanks for coming by to look!

Just Us Girls # 250 - Color

This week at Just Us Girls we have a Color Challenge.  Vicki is hosting, and she has chosen turquoise, green & lime as our challenge colors.  Isn't that a fun and interesting combo!

I used a fun set from Gina K. Designs called Bring the Bling.  I love the look of these dotted flowers and swirls all done up in the challenge colors.  I used a Martha Stewart Cherish border punch to make the lime and green border pieces.  The two tags were made with a Paper Smoochies Tag Stitched die in Pure Luxury White and Turquoise Sea card stock.  The white tag was sponged with Turquoise Sea ink from GKD and Pear Tart from Memento.  The sentiment is from the GKD Flower Builders stamp set.  I added some MME enamel dots and a GKD white ribbon.

We are being sponsored this week, in honor of our 250th Challenge, by Dare 2B Artzy! The Chic of the Week will get their choice of a stamp set valued at $14.99 or under. Thanks so much to Dare 2B Artzy!
