Just Us Girls #608 -- WILD Week


At Just Us Girls this week, Bobby is hosting WILD week... and the theme is LEAVES!  I used an old Wordsworth fall sentiment that I love.  I stamped the sentiment in black on a kraft cardbase.  I stamped the sentiment a second time, slightly askew, in Versamark and then embossed in Hero Arts gold.  To prepare for the frame, an A2 panel was distressed in fall colors.  The distressed panel and a dark gold Stardream panel were both die cut using Poppystamps' Brilliant Leaf Frame.  The Stardream panel was adhered to the cardbase, and the leaf pieces from the distressed panel were inlaid.  The final touch was a few sequins and beads.

Remember we are welcoming Nora Noll as a Guest Designer for the month of October!  We will miss her next week so be sure to stop by and see her lovely leaf creation!

Be sure to stop by each of the DT member blogs, check out their cards, and leave them a bit of love.

We are so bummed...this is Angie's last week with JUGS.  She has been a key member of the team for years, and although she will still be making cards in blogland, she will be missed weekly on this challenge.  Let's thank Angie for her inspiration and encouragement, and wish her well on several new endeavors she is undertaking!

I can't wait to see your leaf creations in the gallery!  Have fun crafting.

As you can tell by my card I love that sentiment. Your inking made beautiful leaves, Elizabeth, and the gold outline makes them so elegant.
