High Tides Good Vibes

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am so pleased to be here today and throughout the month of September as Guest Designer for Just Us Girls Challenges. I am grateful to have this wonderful opportunity to design with this lovely and talented group of crafters whose work I enjoy and admire so much.

Now on to my card... This is a departure from my current style. This is a lot of layers for me, though it just seemed to work with what I had in mind. The challenge colors of aqua and apricot made me think of sea and sun which led me to this gorgeous stencil and sentiment from A Colorful Life Designs. I die cut the circle, popped it up and mounted it on a square card base to  which I adhered patterned papers in the challenge colors. I tried out some embellishments, but in the end, less was more. My card was complete.

Please head over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog and see what the Designers have created for your inspiration. Come play with us! We can't wait to see what you come up with.

It's time for a new challenge at Less Is More. This time the theme is SMALL IMAGES - less than 2 inches. Easy peasy - just grab your small stamps and go to town Just remember that there must be lots of clean white space on your card. I have two cards to share with you today.

My second card (above) is made with the bell from Sunny Studios Holiday Style layered stamp set, a die cut bow from Pretty Pink Posh and sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Christmas.
