I have been very busy trying to get my stash weeded, inventoried and cataloged. I have not been creating very much as I am trying to get this enormous project behind me, but today I was checking out my favorite challenges. I just had to drop everything and play at Just Us Girls where the current challenge is to CASE one of the designers. ALL of the cards are fabulous, but when I saw Carol Mc's card, I knew right where I had to go.
This is Carol's card. I absolutely LOVE it!
I was inspired by her multicultural women on floats in fashionable bathing suits and hats. What a fabulous take on Time Out's Fashionable Challenge too! I used Avery Elle's Splash stamps and dies to float my women friends on their donut tubes in a lovely pool with water compliments of MFT's Perfect Pool Water Stencil. I used Pretty Pink Posh's Grid Stencil to create a patio around the pool. I had a blast making this, and I just love the way Carol inspired me with her creation.

Stephanie, I love your card so much (and I own that AE set as well). The kind words in your post about my card made me smile! I could use a lesson from you on the MFT water stencil that I own and can't make it look right. So happy that you shared your floating ladies card with us this week at JUGS and hope you return again soon!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteStephanie, what a fabulous card and a wonderful take on the inspiration! Your stenciled background is genius. It really does feel like a paved area around a fancy pool.!
