Santa's not here just yet but Just Us Girls is back with a pre-Christmas challenge!
This week we've got a color challenge to tempt you into paper crafting bliss :)
These colors just make me want to stare longingly into a blue green ocean and think about... absolutely nothing :) I needed a peaceful palette prior to the final holiday rush.
I was inspired by the photo to create a simple, CAS card - I used Friendship Jar fillers from PTI and colored the images with Copics. I filled in the center of the flowers with Glossy accents and added blue microbeads. Here's a close up.
Check out the JUGS gals and our fabulous December featured designer, Elise, for some gorgeous inspiration!
Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls - we love seeing your creations and always appreciate your support!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
TTFN,
