My favorite Just Us Girls challenge is the photo inspiration challenge, and this one is fabulous! Vicki always manages to find the most amazing photos for these challenges.
Just take a look at this photo! Isn't it so festive? So many inspiration possibilities!
I was so inspired by the red stripes, the stockings, the blue, and the polka dots. The stripes on my card were created using a Wendy Vecchi stripe stencil and Festive Berries Distress Ink. I just applied the ink with a blending tool and it really came out so clean and crisp. I die cut the stockings from white cardstock and pattern paper then layered them together. The tops of the stockings were run through my Xyron machine then I applied Clear Rock Candy Distress glitter on top. The dots on the bottom are just a strip of the pattern paper, and I stamped the sentiment below. I added some red crystals for more bling.
I followed this sketch from Clean & Simple Sketches.
I have forgotten the last two weeks to mention our November Guest Designer Nancy Penir. I am so sorry for Stylibeing so remiss because her last two creations were absolutely fabulous. Please make sure you check out her blog along with all of the JUGs DT blogs below.
