Just Us Girls #357 - Color Week


Hi friends!  I'm the hostess at Just Us Girls this week for our color challenge.   I saw a box at Hobby Lobby a while ago and loved the colors and wanted to use them on a card.  The box was white and had aqua and kraft triangles on it.  So those are the colors I chose.


This is the box I saw that inspired my color choices.


I wanted to incorporate the triangles on that box and here's what I came up with.  I used a triangle background stamp and some aqua ink for the bottom part of the card.  I used a vine die as a border and stamped and die cut the flowers and leaves.  I stamped more aqua flowers and added the sequins and the stacked thanks die.  I also added some white dots on the flowers with a white gel pen.  For some shimmer, I used a Spectrum Noir crystal clear brush.
 
I used this week's CAS(E) this Sketch as my layout inspiration.
 
You can see more from the JUGs design team and our August guest on the JUGs blog.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

I love how you were inspired by that box, Lisa. The vines as a break between the triangles and plain paper works beautifully.
