Just Us Girls #738 -- COLOR Week

Carol Mc is hosting COLOR week at Just Us Girls.  This week, incorporate ORANGE and HOT PINK into your cards.  I used a simple floral stencil and distressed with Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin. Final touch is a layered sentiment on vellum, with pearl accents.

Continuing with my New Year's resolution, I made four cards for to Operation Gratitude, an organization supporting our Military and first responders letting them know that what they do matters. One of the handmade items they request is handmade cards for their care packages so recipients can write their loved ones.

Check out our fabulous guest designer for August, Bonnie Klass. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at Stamping with Klass

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.

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

Those colors blended well on the flowers, Elizabeth. The sentiment is perfect for the organization you will send them to.

I am so loving all of your cards with their bold backgrounds and big sentiments. I was channeling my inner Elizabeth with my own card. These colors look fabulous with the stencils you chose, and the vellum backed bold sentiment is fantastic!
