Beautiful Spirit

Happy Sunday,
Hope you are all blessed and well.  I have a card share for you today.  My color inspiration comes from the Embellish Blog.  I love the color combo they have for this week's challenge but I have to say that this was a tough one!  I'm glad I had these cute buttons by Studio G.  I picked them up from Wal-mart for $1 a while back and they are perfect for this challenge!




The sketch I used is from Just Us Girls Challenge #148








It took some trial and error to get the completed card because you really have to dig through your stash to find what colors are needed but I had fun putting it together.  I am always in love with vintage ephemera so that is the theme of this card.  I hope to use it as a Birthday card for a co-worker next month.

Thanks so much for stopping in I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Faux Embossing

I have never seen or heard of Faux Embossing until I came across the "Just Us Girls" Challenge Blog.  Since I don't have any die cutting or embossing machines I just had to try it out.  I have to say this technique is so fun and easy.  I was able to bust out two cards for this challenge!





Supplies: Prima flowers and dressform, Martha Stewart 
Crown punch, Tim Holtz tissue tape.



Supplies: 7 Gypsies tape, Tattered Angels frame, Recollections Flowers, 
Colorbok Die Cut, Martha Stewart Bird punch.

Thank JUGS for hosting this challenge!  I had lots of fun!
