Just Us Girls #706 ~ Joyeux Noel

  

We have a festive Mood Board for this week at Just Us Girls.

Need a close up, here you go!

I was inspired by the cardinal, the colors red and teal.

My Poppystamps cardinal is nestled among berry filled branches from PTI. I added a few glitzy snowflakes as a nod to the shimmery ornaments in the photo. Funny thing how I put this card together. I glued all of those elements together THEN added them to the embossed panel! Don't ask me why, that's just the way I was rolling on that particular day!!

I can't wait to see how this pretty Mood Board inspires you. You are planning to play along, right? I sure hope so!

Stunning! Cardinals are always so majestic, and this guy is no exception. He's perfect in his berry branches, being attentive yet majestic

You took the inspiration to the level of a gorgeous collage card. Great color selections.

This was [nearly] the same view outside my window yesterday, Lisa! Joyous, indeed!
I love these colors at Christmas and how the moodboard inspired your beautiful card! The 'wheels' are turning, my friend!

Oooh, everything came together so prettily for this card! Love the arrangement on the embossed panel. I have such a fondness for anything with birds. Many times I'll glue my arrangement together first, too. This is just lovely, Lisa!

So beautiful! Love the colours you’ve used. And nothing wrong with gluing all the elements together before adhering to the background… I sometimes prefer to do it that way.

Your cardinal and berry branches, paired with the embossed background, make for a STUNNING card! Wonderfully festive and fabulously inspiring!

This is gorgeous! I love that bright, beautiful cardinal sitting amongst the berry branches and that snowflake embossed background was the perfect backdrop for him.

Claire said...

I sometimes glue everything before sticking it down as well just so I can keep the glue off the background! These colours are so pretty - perfect for the red cardinal!

Birgit said...

This is another stunning card, Lisa! What a gorgeous use of those colors on the inspiration board. I hope I can play along, as I'm smitten over the inspiration photo itself!

Lisa, the colors you used from the moodboard and the glitsy snowflakes contributed well to such a great card! That embossed background and the bright cardinal/Noel are some of the many things that I just love about your card. It is sweet and so pretty!!!

This is just so pretty I love Cardinals. We always have many in our yard. I talk to my family alot! The background is beautiful and that very red cardina looks wonderful perched among those beautiful sprays. The snowflakes are a perfect touch.

Bobby said...

I see we were both drawn to the cardinal, Lisa but our cards couldn't be more different. Yours is so softly colored with that wonderful embossed background. So lovely.

Lisa Kind said...

Oh wow Lisa! This is absolutely GORGEOUS! I just love everything about this card! You really out did yourself with this one!

Love your placement of that beautiful cardinal Lisa. Such a stand out against the teal and pretty berries. Awesome background and fun sentiments.

That is one beautiful mood board! I'm smitten with your card, Lisa--the colors, elements, design--everything! Cardinals always make me think of my family in Indy & that one looks like the perfect size for me. He will end up in my cart soon!
