I just got done picking some wild lilacs that grow down the road from us. The living room smells heavenly!!
Today's offering was made for the Just Us Girls Challenge. This week it's a photo for inspiration.
Here's my card:
When I saw the photo I immediately thought of this die from Spellbinders called Medallion One. The rug in the photo reminded me of a Moroccan Bazaar, so I used the Spellbinders Label 9 dies for the shape. Truth be told I really don't like this card, I think it's boring. But there you just are. You can't win them all, right? The fillagree background is done with a die called Mixed Media by Sizzix. I love that set.
Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Turquoise Sea, White and Tomato Soup Card Stock
GKD Birthday Blessings Stamp Set for Greeting
Spellbinders Labels 9 Die Set
Spellbinders Medallion One Shapabilities
Sizzix Mixed Media Die Set
GKD Turquoise Sea Ink

ReplyDeleteI love your take on the picture,and your choice of dies. Lovin the background die, and if your card is boring so is the rug in the picture because you captured that pattern beautifully. I don't think the person who put this photo together thought that the rug was boring and neither do I.
ReplyDeleteNot boring at all! I love it. Great colors and love all that open spaces in it. My kind of card and all those dies work great with it.
ReplyDeleteFabulous use of dies! Thanks for joining in at JUGS~

ReplyDeleteOK, I am with all of the rest of these ladies that made comments about your card NOT being boring! The colors alone are very intriguing and the dies really make this card. You are too hard on your talent. Remember, it is handmade, Not Hallmark!
ReplyDeleteNothing BORING about this card Judy. Looks like you just cut a piece from that mat and add it to your card. Simply a perfect match. Love all the dies you used here. So very happy you shared it with us this week at Just Us Girls. Thanks Hun.
