Just Us Girls Challenge #700 - Color Week

This is a color scheme that I love!  My card just came together, and I am thrilled with the end result!

It does help when you use awesome dies, that work perfectly with the colors. 😀 I used Simon Says Bountiful Sunflower - I am loving this new-to-me die.  I am also on a roll with a textured background [Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Quilted Backdrop Die].  I love the look of the texture without the distraction of stamping.

See that Hello [Dare2BArtzy; Hello]?  I used an extra thick embossing powder - totally forgot about this stuff. WHOA!  I am so impressed with the super thick, glossy end result.  I do like "finding" old products, and as the saying goes "using what I have"!]

Okay - I'm good.  Your turn - We hope you come on over and play along with JUGS #700As a celebration of our 700th challenge a few of the JUGS design team members are having a give-a-way!  For my prize, I am offering this fun Birthday Die.  [You do need to ALSO play in the challenge to be eligible for my prize.]

I'll be random drawing from the comments left here on my blog. [US only].  Good luck.  We will be announcing the winners over on the JUGS Blog with the Friday's post of Chic of the Week on October 13th.

Give me a great debossing cover plate and I'm a very happy crafter - this is just such a plate Vicki and you have added just the perfect backdrop for these fabulous die-cut Sunflowers! Aren't they gorgeous in these colors? Wow!
