Today's inspiration challenge is brought to us by Tangii and she has provided this wonderful picture for us to work from.
I loooove aqua/turquoise and brown together! Added bonus: they are Verve's signature colours -- and you all know how partial I am to Verve wink, wink. That being said, I'm also playing along with Verve's Love Fest challenge over on Splitcoast Stampers. The challenge is to create a card using Verve's signature colours of brown and aqua plus either pink or yellow. I chose to add yellow (and I snuck a little kraft in there too because it's a neutral in my books wink, wink). You can find all the challenge details here (psssst, there is a prize too!). If you don't have time to make a card, here is another fun way to be entered for an opportunity to win a gift certificates to Verve Stamps.
Now that Valentine's Day is over, it's back to flowers and butterflies. I actually hand stitched the sides of the ribbon together so it would stay folded because I have had some ribbons totally unfold on me after being on a card for a day or so. Not this time! It's stitched and glued down but good LOL! Marisa 1 - Ribbon 0 {grin}.
The rest of the JUGS team has some wonderful samples to get your inspiration going, so 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 Chic of the Week.
Have a fabulous weekend, and I'll be back on Monday with my Mojo Monday card!
