Hi there! It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls and Carol chose this really cool photo for inspiration.
The first thing I thought of was this City Block background stamp from MFT. I stamped it in Versamark ink and embossed it with antique gold embossing powder on black cardstock. It looks so cool in person! I die cut it with a stitched rectangle. Then I went to work on the sentiment die cut. It's also from MFT and was die cut from some gold paper as well as twice from black cardstock and stacked for dimension. I die cut a piece of black cardstock with the same stitched rectangle die and cut it to size to fit the sentiment. I die cut a larger stitched rectangle from the same gold paper and added the black piece to it. I left it without crystals (I had a hard time doing this!) so I could use it as a masculine card.
You can see more from the JUGs design team and our January guests on the JUGs blog.
Thanks for stopping by!

You and Angie were on the same page! Love it in gold
Beautiful! Love your interpretation of the photo!
That gold against the black is stunning! I love that awesome background paired with your big, stacked birthday sentiment.
Great stamp and card! Your embossing is so crisp! Take care!
So stunning and stylish in that magnificent black and gold. Sheer beauty.
It’s so cool how inspiration can take us places we never might have imagined otherwise! Love the idea that came to you, and the cool effect you achieved with the gold embossing on black, Lisa. Just two colours, but oh so effective!
That is such a great stamp, Lisa. Perfect for the challenge and also for a masculine card. I'm sure it is elegant in real life.
Your black + gold buildings, paired with the eye-catching sentiment, makes for one gorgeous card! Love this!! Thank you for embracing this challenging photo with such enthusiasm and crativity!
