We are invited to celebrate the 700th challenge with the folks at Just us Girls this week! And I could hardly wait to get started on my card using Lisa K.'s colors!
Inspiration abounds from their design team every week - this week I was smitten by the birds Elizabeth shared with us - here is where her card took me today...
Grey is my neutral today - navy is a blue after all! I nearly forgot the kraft/tan - I was
really happy how this panel looked mounted on a kraft card base.
I have been wanting to make another of these gorgeous Cranes ... the colors in the challenge worked out great for it. As Elizabeth's card has honored those with cancer, mine will be heading to a dear friend who is waging her own battle with it.
Congratulations, to the entire JUGS team - I'm delighted for you and look forward to another 700 challenges!
