Hello friends! It's saturday and time for another challenge with Just Us Girls. This week is a color challenge by the amazing Maria!
Ivory, chocolate, coral and just a dash of raspberry! Yum! Sounds like dessert!
I started by finding the piece of basic grey and then backed it with the melon berry grid paper from Papertrey Ink. I *made* the flower using my CRICUT and SCAL! Oh boy! I am soooooo hooked on my Cricut now because of this software. Forget the fact that I bought WAY too many cricut cartridges several years ago. The fact that I can use SCAL to create and cut basically any image I can find is amazing! I found a daisy silhouette online and cut two of the eight petal flowers above, embossed them with a damask folder and inked to enhance the embossed pattern. The rest of the card came together with a repurposed tag I had in my basket o' findings on my desk, some lace and chipboard letters.
OK, just one more shot of my daisy. I'm am just tickled I was able to make my computer talk to my cricut and cut it out without a major learning curve. Oh the possibilities for creativity. Speaking of creativity, check out the rest of the JUGs this week for more inspired color challenge cards!
