Just Us Girls challenge #840 - Word 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 this week is Word Week and Ina has given us the theme of 'bold'. You could go with a bold sentiment or image or even bold colours.  I can't wait to see that you create so come and join in the fun with us.  Our guest this month is Julia Aston so please pop over and show her some love.

I choose to go with bold colours and a bold background stamp so hopefully covered all the bases this week.  I used a rainbow of colours and a fun Uniko stamp which I stamped in black.  I hope you like it. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by cutting a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using my rainbow colours of ink pads blended my background.  I then used my Misti to stamp the birthday background stamp using black ink.  I also added some extra doodling using a white gelly roll pen, a yellow Posca pen and a gold metallic zig writer pen.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel and then adhered it to my card base using double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and blended the rainbow colours along the bottom (although I realised half way through that I started my rainbow from the wrong side oops!).  I stamped the present from the background and fussy cut it out and then blended over it with red and orange inks (using masking tape to try and keep the colours in the right place) and also added some white gelly roll pen dots.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and then adhered the panel to my card base using double sided tape.  

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

CAS flower card

Hello again friends.  I hope you are doing ok and surviving this really hot and humid weather we're experiencing in the UK at the moment.  I have to be truthful; I don't like really hot weather so I've been struggling, the fans have be a lifesaver these past few weeks.  I like it dry and sunny but a little cooler would be better for me.  

Anyway enough waffling from me.  I'm back to share a CAS card that I made for a friends birthday.  I don't make CAS cards very often as too much white space makes me want to keep adding embellishments lol.  I managed to contain myself on this card and I think it looks ok.  

Here is my card:

I stamped the floral image with Memento tuxedo black ink and coloured it with Promarkers.  I added a little bit of gold gel pen to the centres of the smaller flowers, although it's hard to see in the photos.  I added a sentiment stamped in Versafine onyx black ink and a few black pearls.  I mounted the panel onto an aqua panel and then onto the card base and my card was done.  Very simple but it's surprising how long it actually took me to make it lol!

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

Use your stuff challenge - flowers

Daisy Chain challenge - no design paper

Creative Inspirations challenge - something for the girls

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge - flowers

Color Hues challenge - red and aqua

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me such lovely comments, I really appreciate them.  

Have a great week. 

Crafty hugs,
