Just Us Girls #730 -- COLOR Week

Carol is hosting COLOR week at Just Us Girls.  This week, just use PINK and AQUA in your card designs.  I used a gradient circle die from The Stamp Market and INLAID all the circles.  This is definitely TV work; the key being not to mess up the location of each small circle because of the gradient.  I finished the card with a simple die cut sentiment mounted on vellum.

Continuing with my New Year's resolution, I made one additional card... as well as my first attempt! I had started the challenge thinking pink=pig so I made a dancing pig card.  The card didn't quite fit my style so I tried again with a simpler design in mind.

Check out our fabulous guest designer for June, Jane Taylor. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at Instagram (http://www.instagram.com/purplejetjt/).

Also check out the design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Also, we have created a longer timeframe for our challenges! Wednesdays at 6:00 pm EST will be our new ending time in order to give you another day to get your cards in the gallery! The Winner of the Week will be announced now on Thursdays, an hour before the new challenges open.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

What an adorable set of three cards with the colors that pig one is screaming at me! Well done

All of these cards are great Elizabeth. I can't believe you had to replace all of the dots...didn't think of that. You and I both went for the bold version of the challenge colors...great minds. Very fun cards!

Two sets of inlaid dots!! A lot of work but worth it for these bright and happy cards, Elizabeth.

Oh my Elizabeth, your challenge card is so wonderful with it's bold, bright colors and all of those wonderful polka dots! And holy smoke! I just re-read your post and really? Inlaid all those dots???? That's amazing and remarkable! I love your card!

I love all three of these! I am totally blown away by all of the inlaid dots, you have the patience of a saint! Those dancing pigs make me smile.

Smitten with your trio of cards, Elizabeth! Lots of time invested inlaying the dots, but the results are well-worth the smiles they'll bring to the lucky people on the receiving end. The pigs are adorable!
