Just Us Girls #743 ~ Hello

Hello there! Ready for a new Just Us Girls challenge? Bobby is our hostess this week and she's given us a terrific color combo to work with. We also have a new guest designer joining us for September. Please pop over and say hello to Nancy Salkeld! Welcome, Nancy we're so happy to have you creating with us this month!

My jumping off point was this pretty wreath by Pinkfresh. I stamped it using PTI's Canyon Clay ink. The embossed panel (GinaK) was layered onto a shimmery gold panel. They were both cut with a ME die. After popping on the wreath, I set out to decorate it. The PPP bow and leaves were layered together then I added tiny punched blue and gold dots to the wreath. The finishing touch was a PTI tiny tag holding my sentiment.  

How will Bobby's colors inspire you? I can't wait to find out!

Your rust wreath is lovely, Lisa, and I love that you accented it with blue and gold dots. Plus the gold leaves and blue bow. Wonderful card, my friend.

I so love every element you used in this card, Lisa. It is such a great use of the challenge colors. The wreath is beautiful and it looks so wonderful against the embossed background and framed in shiny gold. I just LOVE that blue bow placed on that leaf die cut, and then the tiny tag - the perfect finish. Wonderful make for color week.
