Just Us Girls #376 - Trend Week

Hi friends!  This week over at Just Us Girls we are stamping all over!  Bobby chose a great challenge for our Trend Week.  We are seeing lots of small stamps being used to stamp a background.
 
I saw that Papertrey Ink is releasing a new paisley set, and it got me thinking about this paisley set I have from WPlus9.  I stamped the paisley patterns and some flowers on Bristol smooth white cardstock in Versamark and embossed them with white embossing powder.  Then I sponged yellow and blue Distress inks in different spots around the paper.  The sentiment was die cut four times from black cardstock and layered together.  I also die cut the shadow of the word in vellum and layered it under the black word.  I mounted it on black cardstock then onto a white base.  Sequins and some Spectrum Noir shimmer on the die cut were the finishing touches.
 
I chose my color scheme from this week's Color Throwdown challenge.
 
You can see more from the JUGs design team and our guest on the JUGs blog.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

Paisley. I used to love paisley fabric but haven't thought about it in a long time. This looks terrific, Lisa, very Springlike, and that layered sentiment really pops.

I am such a fan of white embossing and then water coloring over. You have done it beautifully here, and I love your choice of colors. This is a beautiful card, I really, really like it!

I love those white embossed paisleys with the soft, blended Distress Inks. Your sentiment really pops with the black and depth.
