JUST US GIRLS #272 - Color Week

Hello and good morning all! It's color week at JUST US GIRLS! Ina is your hostess this week and she found this gorgeous picture to inspire you:


Don't be alarmed that there are five colors. We want you to use a minimum of three of them, but you can use all five if you want. I tried to incorporate all five into my card:


 Here's the inside:

I stamped the image onto water color paper, then used a water pen and distress inks to color it. Some of the colors bled into others, but that's ok - this is art peeps! LOL! After everything was adhered, I added Stickles to all the ornaments and the star for some sparkle. ☺

I hope you get the chance to play along! Simply link up your card at Just Us Girls! While there, please be sure to leave some bloggy love for my teammies, and our December Guest Designer, Lee Ann Barrett! Remember that if you are picked as Chic of the Week for any of the December challenges, you will be in the running to be our Guest Designer for February! 

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

Chris

  1. What a fun and quirky Christmas card! For some reason, these colors just play right into the merry festiveness of Christmas, but I never would have dreamt it up.

  6. Love that fun, funky tree! Great design on this, the graph grid paper with the punched edge pairs up perfectly with that tree. You nailed all five colors on this.
