Join us! It is MOODBOARD week at Just Us Girls. Carol Mayne is challenging us to be inspired by the moodboard above in creating our cards this week. I looked at this moodboard and selected the black background and multiple bright-colored flowers. Given that I wanted to use the same flower numerous times, I wanted an interesting floral. I considered both the Poppystamps Nordic flower line and Birch Press Block flowers. I own several dies in both lines. I selected the above Nordic tulip because it was small enough to use multiple times. I could have used it in the four corners, but was intrigued by this triangular design.
I selected three pinks and purples for the flowers and four or five greens for the stems and leaves. When you layer the tulips, it is pretty thick with nine layers of cardstock. Importantly, there is no waste, and six cards were yielded. The final touches are a layered sentiment and purple gems.
Meet our featured guest designer for March, Milla. Please welcome her and check out her fabulous work over at Mustesormi!

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

Your Nordic Crown Flowers are so pretty in the colours you've chosen and oh, how they pop against your black leaf impressed background. An inspired, inspiring take on the mood board.

So fabulous I just love the colors in your card
I like your topsy turvy flowers! This is so much fun and just lovely!
A beautiful design with those lovely die cut Nordic Crown Flowers in the bright colors! The cover embossing on the black adds lovely interest to your background!
This is STUNNING!!! I LOVE this die. Makes me want to buy it myself!!
That is definitely an interesting floral with all its colorful layers, Elizabeth.
Bold bright and beautiful Elizabeth. Gorgeous colour choice and great dimension.
