This week's Just Us Girls challenge is brought to you by yours truly. I chose this inspiration picture even though it has fall colours as I wanted to mix it up a bit after all the Valentine's Day cards I've been making and seeing on line...having a bit of pink overload I think LOL! I really wanted to pull out my leaf dies, but opted to go with orange roses, as per the picture, as I just love orange roses :) Pulled out my rolled rose die from MFT and went to work.
Here is a larger version of the inspiration picture for your viewing. Just love the rich chocolate with the orange against it. Hope it provides you with lots of inspiration and a nice change as well.
I was in the mood for a round card so added it to the mix and finished things off by adding half pearls as per the picture. And, since this is a picture of a wedding cake, I added a "love" sentiment to tie in with the theme of the picture.For some inspiration to get you going, just hop on over to the Just Us Girls blog, and check out what the Design Team has created. Then put your creative genes to work and add your card/project to the challenge post on the JUGS blog for the chance to be selected as Chick of the Week.
I'm entering this into the current Simon Says challenge - to make a card that reflects what you are known for. Think I can safely say, flowers, clean lines, and Verve stamps (butterflies, leaves and hearts could be added to the list but can't them all on one card LOL)
Have a great weekend! Back on Monday with my Mojo Monday card.
