Boy, do we have a fun Color Challenge lined up at Just Us Girls this week! Not only that, it's a challenge WITH A TWIST! What's the twist, you ask? Make a BIRTHDAY CARD! The birthday cards are to celebrate a special birthday JUGS gal! Lisa is celebrating her birthdays this coming week so we want you to help celebrate with us!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY A WONDERFUL GAL!!! I tell ya, this JUGS team is something special because of the members and this cat is the COOLEST!!! Hope your special day is as fun as you are, Lisa!!!
In honor of Lisa's birthday, the ladies at MTME and hosting a blog hop for the lovely Lisa. Check it out HERE.
Without further adieu, here are the colors...
Aren't they just scrumdiddly-umptious!!! YUM!!!
And my card...
I used PTI's Bitty Background Blocks to create a quilt-like card. I also used Button Boutique to stamp the black pseudo-stitching. OMG, I can't get enough of the banner die! I had to use it here too! The Doily Details Dies are also something I'm quickly growing VERY attached to! The satin melon berry ribbon tops it all off. Speaking of loves, melon berry.... LOVE!!!!
I have been disappointed with my camera's performance lately (of course, it CANNOT be the fault of the operator, right? :)). But seriously, I think I need another light for my light tent to make things right again. I find I need to edit my pics to make them purdy and I'd like to minimize that as much as possible. I could try supplementing with natural light... hmmmm... something to try next time I guess.
Make sure to visit the other JUGS DT as well as our fabulous guest designer for April, Teresa Kline. Leave em, some love, especially Lisa and Elise, the birthday gals!!!
Enjoy your weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Andrea, this card is AWESOME!! I love the quilt-like look, and of course, these colors are just so yummy!
So pretty! I love the patchwork quilt look of your background and the simple way you layered the sentiment banner over the doily.
I adore this, the quilt pattern is so fun....have a super weekend!

This is gorgeous! I thought you actually sewed all those zig-zags! Love how you created that quilt effect! And before I read your post I was thinking that your picture was so bright and wondered what camera you were using (I might be getting one for the ol' birthday!). Thanks for the birthday wishes too!
What a gorgeous patchwork creation! I adore the pseudo-stitching - my kinda stitching for sure!
