Just us Girls Challenge #152

 

This week's Just Us Girls sketch challenge is brought to us by Maria.  I took some creative liberty with the sketch (sorry Maria) and added a tag - a skewed tag at that lol - as my main panel and the sentiment migrated on to the tag.  

This week's Colour Q challenge was a fabulous one so I used it with the sketch as I just loved the mix of colours :)  A  definite use again combo.

Pulled out some of my favorites for this card:  flowers, scalloped borders, Verve's Elegant Leaf die, tags, butterflies, half pearls, and my French Script background stamp.  Happy sigh... :)

The rest of the Design Team have some great samples to get your inspiration going.  Just pop over to the JUGS blog for a peek at their wonderful creations.

We'd love to have you play along with us this week.  Simply create a card using this week's sketch and link it to the JUGS blog and you may be selected as Chick of the Week :)

Thanks for popping by and have a fabulous week!  We are getting ready for school to start next week and enjoying the long weekend as a family before our schedules ramp up once again.  Hope you have a great one too :)

  4. I love the added skewed tag! And, I think that Colour Q is the best color challenge in blogland. Though I don't like using 4, the combos are amazing!

    That blue flower is awesome and just pops out the minute you open up this card. Wow!
    You did a skewed panel..without having that as the challenge? You've gotten very brave, Marisa. :-)
