Just us Girls #695 Color Week

Playing with that new Fall Folk stencil set from The Greetery yesterday reminded me of another stencil set that I've had in my stash from Pinkfresh Studios.  It's still really lovely so I thought I would use it for Just us Girls Color Week!  

I had the most beautiful inspiration for Lisa's colors right outside my studio window last evening - lucky me I had my camera at the ready!



But you came for the card - and I appreciate it so much!


I love the fabric-look that the embossing gives.  And I kept my sentiment small
so as not to cover much of that lovely stenciling!

Thank you for this honor!

Michele, I wonder if Lisa called the Sky Station to match the colors to the challenge for the view outside your window. ;-P
The beautiful inspiration resulted in your pretty stenciled card. I love the fabric-like texture on the card base too. It adds an organic feel that complements the Fall Folk stencil image perfectly.
