There is no denying that creating cards using a Mood Board or photo has always been a favorite of mine ... thanks Elizabeth for creating this gorgeous board to inspire us all!
Hello again, my friends - week three as a Just us Girls guest designer was a delight!
I asked for an enlargement of the board, so I thought I'd share it with you -
Don't think you can't combine a few of these photos if you want to - I did:
the daisies on the blue painted wood met up with the yellow gingham across the board, and even a little HELLO from the center square came together for my card today! Enough said:
I just adore these Gerbera Daisies from Uniko - definitely Top 10 of my favorite sets! I heat embossed in white onto watercolor cardstock, then used a few inks to add color with a water brush: mustard seed, mowed lawn, and CP Twilight to be exact.
We can't wait to see which photo[s] will inspire you to play cards with us this week! Don't think you can't make more than one - wink! Let's go see what the JUGS team made... I know I'm going to love them!

I love this card, Michele! Such a great take on the photos.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea to use the light blue wood plank for the circle sentiment label! Gerbera Daisies are my favorite flowers, and the Uniko's Gerbera Daisy set is one of my favorites too.
