Just Us Girls #724 - Anything Goes Stencil

 It's Anything Goes Stencil Week at Just Us Girls and Carol M. is our hostess for this challenge.  The sky is the limit with this challenge!  Pull out your stencils and inspire us with your creations!

A huge Thank You to Colleen Begley for joining us as our Guest Designer this past month!  Just hop on over to JUGS for some fabulous inspiration from Colleen and the rest of our awesome Design Team.
This was inspired by the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers by Didedi's Crafty Corner to create an underwater scene.  I used a sunburst stencil for the light shining down through the water.  Blended numerous shades of blue Distress Inks on watercolor paper, splattered with water and then shimmer spray.  The octopus is an old one from Gina K and the seaweed is part of a larger die cut from green then shaded with a darker green and finally misted with some seafoam green shimmer spray.

Come share your stencil creations with us and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week, which would then make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Just Us Girls #723 - Moodboard Week

 It's time for our Moodboard Week at Just Us Girls and Vicki has a fabulous Moodboard loaded with lots of inspiration!


Check out JUGS to see what our Guest Designer, Colleen Begley and the rest of our talented Design Team have created with the Moodboard as inspiration.


Using more AI ladies!  I was inspired by the 3 girls having fun, but my girls are slightly more colorful.  Their wine started out as cabernet, but after adding the glaze pen, which was labeled clear it became rose.  Added the celebrate which seemed appropriate for those girls toasting with their wine.  Used a piece of extremely old patterned paper from my stash.

Come play along with us and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week, which would then  make you eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Desigern!  Please limit your entries to 3.

Using random stamps from my stash that have never been inked.  Stamped the cloud in gray then masked and stamped the waterdrops in Brilliance Blue giving some shimmer.  The sentiment is computer generated and printed on vellum.  Matted onto a piece of blue cardstock and onto a gray card base.

Check out JUGS to see what Tracey McNeely and the rest of our Design Team have created with Birds and also jump on over to Time Out Challenges for even more inspiration.

This is for my amazing Aunt who is turning 100 very soon.  For her 90th she was disappointed that she didn't get any funny/humorous cards, so ever since then I have tried to humor her!  She is still going strong!  She lives alone, still drives (bought a new car a year ago), is in good health and sharp as a tack!

This started with Gina K Inspiration Mosaic and then stamped the birds, leafy branches, and footprints into the blocks by masking off as needed.  Colored all the birds with alcohol markers all on a Gina K heavyweight card base (no bleed through).  It was too plain, so masked off and blended green Distress Ink around the edge.

Come play along with us and Time Out and you could be chosen as our next Winner of the Week and or a winner over at Time out.  If you are our WOW then you would become eligible at a chance to become our next Guest Designer!  Please limit your entries to 3.
