Just Us Girls - Word Week

 

Hello crafty friends! I'm back for another week guesting with the Just Us Girls team! This week is word week and we are to focus on "YOU". I immediately knew I wanted to create a birthday card for our youngest granddaughter who will turn 6 this month.   

I chose a marble patterned paper from The Essential Craft Papers by Craft Consortium. It's a beautiful pad of 6x6" papers called "Ink Drops - Candy". It's the backdrop for a Big Balloon cover plate die from Papertrey Ink. I stenciled over a couple of the balloons and added a die cut balloon then embellished with a few florals. The "you" sentiment was stamped, gold embossed and die cut then popped up with foam tape. 

STAMPS: Big Balloon, Mashup Birthday (Papertrey Ink).
INK: Harvest Gold, Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, True Black (Papertrey Ink); Sweet Mustard, Meadow, Eucalyptus (Pinkfresh Studio); Versamark. 
PAPER: Ink Drops - Candy 6x6 pad by The Essential Craft Papers by Craft Consortium; Stamper's Select White (PTI). 
DIES: Cover Plate: Big Balloon, Mashup Birthday, Big Balloon (PTI).
OTHER: Queen's Gold embossing powder (Ranger); Moonshine sequins (PTI); Big Balloon stencils. 
 
We would love to have you play along with us, so I hope to see you in the Just Us Girls gallery!  ~Wanda
