Hope you're all looking forward to a great weekend - can't believe it's the middle of August already.
Anyway, this is my third week as Guest Designer for the lovely girls over at Just Us Girls. The challenge this week is a colour challenge:
And here is what I came up with:
For the main floral image I have sponged through my Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 "From the garden" stencil using Tim Holtz DI Hickory Smoke and Barn Door. I hunted everywhere for some grey cardstock but didn't seem to have any so used red and black to mat onto. I die cut two Die-namics Heart Branches and added them to the card front and then brushed on WoS in clear. I was going to use the leaves on the actual stencil but as green wasn't an option I thought this was the best way to go. Liquid Pearls have been added to the centre of the flowers. The sentiment is SU Oval All and I used Die-namics Pierced Ovals to mat it up. A very simple corner and that was it.
Please pop on over to the Just Us Girls blog to see the lovely makes the rest of the DT have come up with.
Happy crafting.
The flowers are super on this, fancy not having any grey card!
