Today's card is for this week's JUGS (Just Us Girls) Challenge. This week it's a color challenge. They're using PTI colors, but you can sub whatever you have. The PTI colors are Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist, and Vintage Cream. I don't think I would have ever put those colors together but I love how they look! I have those papers, but not the inks, so I subbed Soft Sky, Riding Hood Red, and Very Vanilla since I knew I wanted to stamp up some background paper. I'm using my Guide Lines set for the first time, and I'm SURE I'll be using it again and again--it's so easy to make your own patterned paper with it.
OK, on to the card. I stamped the grid lines on Very Vanilla with Soft Sky ink and then filled in the images with Riding Hood Red. Then, since it looked a little plain, I added tiny aqua flat backed pearls for a little interest. I'm using Paper Craft Planet's sketch for this weekfor my layout and I think the rest is pretty easy. Some ribbon, more pearls, and a sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages and it was done. Quick and easy!
Thanks for stopping by today!

ReplyDeleteOh my Barbara this is fantastic. Your guide lines stamping is perfect - those little aqua pearls - who - just the right touch. (My eyes have a hard time stamping my guide lines this straight! LOL)
