Just Us Girls #695 ~ Love You a Bunch!

 

Hello and a happy Labor Day Weekend to those of you in the states! We're off to an air show today. Our son has reserved box seats for the family and the weather looks good! The hubs is happy that the Air Force Thunderbirds will be there. Brings back memories of the shows we used to see on base in Florida when our son was just a little guy in his stroller!
 
But you came here for a card, so lets get to it! It's Saturday and that means a new challenge at Just Us Girls. It's also a new month and that brings us a new Guest Designer. Please give a warm welcome to Stephanie Lanzalotto! I'm hosting color week and am looking for aqua and apricot. They seemed like September colors to me!

I've never seen a gingham bottle, but if I did I think I might have to buy it! I used this little cutie from The Stamp Market. I bought one of their butterfly die sets this summer. She's making her debut here today. Her top wings are embossed for some added fun! The dotted swirls in the background are by DeNami and the shaker fillers are PPP.

Okay now it's your turn.

I sure hope to see your card in our gallery this week!

Your gingham bottle is lovely (if I found one I'd buy one, too); the perfect landing spot for your oh-so-pretty butterfly. Gorgeous card to showcase your fabulous colour pairing.

I am so excited to be designing with your team this month, Thanks so much for having me! love that shaker bottle, and I love the way you used it in your wonderful card. That butterfly has been flying by in making many stops in projects I've seen lately. I love the shape and size of the singe - the embossing looks wonderful.

I love the butterfly trail on your card base, Lisa! and the sweet gingham bottle full of 'fireflies' [at least that's what my imagination has told me they are!]
Such a beautiful color combination to play with!

Lisa, I LOVE this card!

Leslie Miller said...

I would buy a gingham bottle, too, and yours is so cute with the little fillers and the pretty butterfly stopping to peek inside. You can clearly see by her dotted swirls flight trail that she fluttered around quite a bit before deciding it was safe to land. I love the sweet, whimsical appearance of her, especially with those fabulous embossed wings!
