Just Us Girls #381 - Color Week

Dear Ones~
This week is COLOR week over at Just Us Girls, and I am the host. I have chosen red, black and kraft as the challenge colors. As usual with color challenges, you are to use all three of the chosen colors as well as any neutrals that you need.  Neutrals are white, ivory, kraft, black, brown or gray.
Here's my card:
I love the flower die here. It's one from Stampin' Up, and it cuts out the negative without completely cutting out the flower. I really like how you can see the underlying background. I stamped the butterfly on red cardstock and heat embossed with black powder before die cutting with the companion die. Then I stuck some black sewing thread behind. I think it's kinda cool.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Black Onyx, Red Hot and Kraft Card Stock
Paper Studio Everyday Kraft
SU Stylish Stems Framelits
Stampendous Jumbo Lovely Garden for Butterfly
Power Poppy Short Stacks Stamp for Greeting 
Stash Ribbon
Please visit the JUST US GIRLS blog to see the wonderful cards that our February Guest Designer Michele, and the rest of the team have made this week. And remember, if you win Chic of the Week in any of our February challenges, you will be in the running to be chosen as our Guest Designer for the month of April!!   Good luck, and I hope to see you there. 

Thanks for stopping by, I adore your comments! 
They make my day!!

  9. Love the layers and how the kraft had some of the block included in the design. the flower was perfect for this challenge. I love howyou use that little bit of string on some of your projects. It always looks so great when you do it, but when I do not so great. I have another friend who uses cheese cloth and it adds so much texture and I love it, but it never works for me. Why is that?
