Just US Girls #232 Color



It is a very bright sunny day out today.  So, I did a spring cleaning in my craft room.  With every thing in it's place and all clean, well......what do you think?  Yeah, I got inspired to mess it up again.  Not so bad this time.  I had some new stamp sets that I wanted to use and time on my hands. Did I tell you that I love retirement? 

 
JUGS is having a color challenge this week.  To match these colors, I used a Dew Drop ink called Sky Blue, Menento, Pear Tart, and GinaK, Sweet Corn.
Since recently reviewing the techniques on STV, I did one that I had not done in awhile.  It is called
inking a cuttlebug folder.  Just click to see how Gina does it.


Here is my receipe:
Gina K CS... White heavy weight, Sweet Corn, Green Apple
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight
Papertrey Ink stamp set Feather Finery and Wreath for all seasons

As always, I really love the comments, so thank you very much.

  4. Gorgeous and love the look you achieved with the Cuttlebug folder. I have not done that in ages either, but I am cleaning my crafting area today. Not sure I can even play much this week.
