Dear Ones~
Another week has come and gone. Hope it was a good one for you!!

This week at Just Us Girls we have a photo inspiration for you. Here is the photo:

Don't you just love those colors? And oh man, do those cookies look delicious? YUMMO!!!!

Here's the card I came up with:

I used the shaving cream technique to make those lovely swirls. Here's a close up of that:
Looks like frosting, doesn't it. Here's a link to a video that Gina from Gina K Designs did, showing this technique. It's really fun - and oh, so messy!!! And does the card ever smell good - ha ha!!!! Try it out!!!

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Dark Chocolate and White Card Stock
Spellbinders Scallop Hearts Die
Other Hearts Cut with my Cricut
Barn Door Distress Reinker
MFT Die-namics Delicate Doilies Die
GKD Stately Flowers 6 Stamp Set for Sentiment

The Just Us Girls Challenges are so much fun. Each week there is a new topic, and all the girls on the Design Team are uber talented, so there's lots of inspiration. If you have never stopped by, you should really check it out!!

  2. Yes the cookies look good, but so does this amazing card. That shaving cream background is not as easy for me. Yours does look like frosting. Yummy. Very creative using the heart shape as the total card. You rocked this one.
