Hello and welcome! It's time for another challenge at Just Us Girls. Artistic Ina has picked a fun Mood Board for us!
Take a look at the closeup.
And now my card!
I was inspired by the petals in the top right corner and the colors. I put my Poppystamps Nordic Crown Flower front and center with a simple embossed oval behind it. The petals and a few of the leaves were made with paper I smooshed into various inks. My sentiment is an oldie, but a goodie, by Hero arts that's heat embossed on vellum.
This was sent to friends at church who lost their best friends in an auto accident. They were wintering in Florida. So very sad.
We do hope you'll join us this week.
Ina's photo is filled with options!

This is lovely Lisa, with the mottled colors you've used and the gold accents. Your colors match the inspiration colors perfectly. I'm so sorry to hear of such a tragic loss. That is terribly sad.

A beautiful, thoughtful and gentle design, Lisa. So perfect to express to your friends your sympathy!
OOh, Love this tulip!
Such dreamy colors, and you've captured them beautifully! Your flower is perfect perched on that pretty oval, I also love that you did gold and smooshed leaves. That sentiment? Yes ma'am!
Your flower is stunning with those beautiful petals and that embossed background. So sad about your friend's tragic loss, I'm sure that this will be some comfort to them knowing how much you care.
This is an absolutely beautiful card. When there is a loss like this for anyone to bear, It is impossible to find a words or anything else to help ease the sadness. This kind of love and thoughtful gesture is the best thing you can do, and you have done it wonderfully with this beauty. Your design is gorgeous. I wish I could have every one of the Nordic dies... your work with them is always wonderful. Beautiful job with the colors on this very special, from the heart project.
Beautiful! I love the soft colors with the golden accents.
Such a lovely flower and sentiment, Lisa! So sorry for your friends' loss; this will comfort them, I'm sure!
Such beautiful soft colours, love the card and it will be very much appreciated by the recipient xx
Lisa... my sympathies for your friends. The card is gorgeous. Love the soft pastels you used. Not sure if you watercolored or used patterned paper. Great use of that new Nordic die!
Your ink smooshing looks just like the colors in the lower right photo, Lisa. It's so soft and pretty. I'm sorry about your friends' loss. I'm sure your thoughtfulness will help ease the pain.
Your card was another that I fell in love with Lisa. So soft and beautiful. Love the colours and that amazing die. So sad that it was for such an occasion. I am sure the recipient loved it.
