JUGS #254 & ATCAS #45


Over at Just Us Girls, the color combo that Sue chose is one of my [addictions] favorites!

I went into my SU drawer and found the perfect set; Best Blossoms.  [It's retired, like all of my SU sets, but it still is lovely.]  I water colored the background, added a little sponged stencil, and stamped my images on the top.  Can't you see why I am addicted to this combo?  I just love these colors together!

Your turn!  Come on over to Just Us Girls and play along!  We can't wait to see how you use this awesome color combo!



Another dual day here on the blog.  Harriett came up with the code word - huge potential with this one!

This 2 week challenge, we are are being sponsored by

I adore the neon colors from Hero Arts, I just don't use them very often.  They worked perfect with the triangles from Inspired By Stamping, Whimsical Banners, along with a sentiment from Technique Tuesday, Fabulous

I popped over to see the recommended search by Harriett, and found a very cool geometric pattern.  I printed it, and thought - perfect for a 2nd card for this challenge.

I made a svg cut for the sentiment, added some rolled flowers, twine and leaves, and this little awesome card was complete.  So fun when a card comes together so fast.

There is no doubt in my mind, this challenge is going to be huge - pop on over to Addicted to CAS and play along!  We would love to have you join in!


Thanks for stopping by~

Oh boy, your second card is absolutely brilliant, Vicki!!! I love everything about it!!! What a stunning bg that looks so great with the rolled flowers and leaves. The sentiment looks great!!
Love the bright triangles on the first card and the way you have stamped them. Love the bold black sentiment.

Vicki both cards are fabulous for very different reasons. However, I think the first is my favorite. I love the bright colors of the triangles and I love the bold sentiment on top with all of that lovely white space. mind you, I love the shapes and patterns of the second one... oh... and the colors... Heck. they are both fabulous
