Just Us Girls challenge #824 - Mood Board week

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. I am here to share my card for this week's Just Us Girls challenge and it's our 'mood board week' and Carol is our hostess.  It's such a fun and funky mood board and I'm sure you'll all have a lot of fun creating from it and I cannot wait to see all your gorgeous creations.

There are so many fun elements in the mood board.  Obviously the colours are bold and bright but the sofa, boat, beach ball and funky shapes could call to you.  I was immediately drawn to the pictures hanging on the wall and decided to create my card inspired by them.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by die cutting a light pink panel 4" x 5 1/4".  To create my funky shapes I used a corner punch, some circle dies and my paper trimmer.  I dug out some teal, orange and pink card from my scraps box and cut lots of different shapes and sizes.  I also scored some lines onto the larger orange shapes.  I won't tell you how long it took me to settle on an arrangement that I was happy with (but it was a while) and adhered all the largest pieces first with foam squares.  I pulled in some black accents and added them with liquid glue and then adhered the circles to fill the gaps using both liquid glue and foam squares.  I deliberated over what sentiment to use but didn't want anything too large that would hide my layout so finally settled on this fun stacked one from Gina K Designs which I white heat embossed onto black and cut with the coordinating die.  I added the sentiment over the largest circle with foam squares.  The panel was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and added a strip of the light pink card to the bottom with liquid glue.  I had some shapes left over so added them randomly with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and unfortunately got a finger print on the left edge so added one of shapes there to cover it.  The panel was then adhered to the card base with double sided tape.  

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
