Hi :-)
Wahoo! A three day weekend! I'm hoping for some much needed R&R (along with some crafting, of course)!
This is my third week as Just Us Girls' guest designer. I'm having a blast! This week's challenge is a color challenge: melon berry, kraft & light aqua. This is a fun combo that I haven't used before, but guess what...I love it! Check out the JUGS blog for more incredible inspiration!
I just love this little girl. She's so precious. I stamped her in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla cs. The base layer is Blushing Bride, embossed with CB Birds & Swirls embossing folder. I used Martha Stewart's butterfly punch to make the Baja Breeze/Crumb Cake butterflies. I applied Liquid Pearls down the center of each butterfly. For the flower, I used SU!'s incolor ribbon and a half pearl from the Pretties Kit. I love how it turned out!
This sketch (MOJO178) can be found on the MojoMonday blog, which is a great source for weekly inspiration!
Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
Lori

This is GORGEOUS, Lori - GORGEOUS! You distributed the colors perfectly on your card, and I LOVE that flower! I would never think to stamp the silhouette gal in Crumbcake...it's absolutely the right choice here. The whimsical butterflies set it off nicely.
So glad to have you with us this month!!
