Just Us Girls #742 ~ Life is Beautiful

 

 

This is a fun week for us at Just Us Girls. The team is free to design anything we like and your challenge is to CASE one of us. That's easy enough! 

I haven' used my PTI Meadow Greens set in a long time. It's always a good fit for a late summer card. I just love the delicate Queen Anne's Lace and pretty leaves it includes. The flowers (they're too pretty to be called a weed!) were stamped with Versa Mark and heat embossed in white. Next came the leaves and then I cut the panel with my favorite Mama Elephant cover die. The sentiment, also from the set, was cut with an old Spellbinders label die. A trio of sweet Nordic Butterflies by Poppystamps were cut from vellum and bedazzled with a tiny gem. 

Okay, sweet peeps, now it's your turn. Head over tho the Just Us Girls blog and pick out a card to CASE!

Lisa... again you have inspired me! Love the simplicity, and yet still grand, of this card.

Love how you stamped and then got out the pierced cover plate, Lisa! So wonderful with the layered vellum butterflies too!!

Bobby said...

I guess we were channeling each other, Lisa. I love your Meadow Greens on green with the debossing. There better be at least one person who uses that stamp on a card for the challenge. ;)

Your two toned green background with the added texture made for a terrific Card

I love Queen Anne's Lace. I had it in my wedding bouquet. I love the way you used it here against that quilted background. love the white on the sage green. How funny that you and Bobby used the same stamps. Fun coincidence. Beautiful card.

Birgit said...

This is beautiful, Lisa! The tones of green with the pierced background make your Queen Anne's Lace really stand out. The butterflies are a delightful accent to this gorgeous card.

This is GORGEOUS, Lisa! I love this shade of green with the Queen Anne's Lace and the added dimension of that pretty pierced background.

What a beautiful use of your stamps and those sweet butterflies. A gorgeous botanical card, Lisa!

This is beautiful! I love how you stamped, embossed and then used that pretty cover plate to create so much texture. And those layered butterflies are the perfect finishing touch.

Lisa, this is just stunning! Such a pretty card using a stamp that I ALWAYS borrowed from Bobby when we got together! Love it debossed with your favorite die and that trio of flutterbys are the perfect finishing touch!

Behind again, as usual! I haven't used that set in a long time, either and I still love it. The blooms look fabulous white embossed! Always love the look of a stitched cover plate over stamping and it's beautiful here!
