Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #435~Word Week, where our sweet Ina has selected BOLD as our inspiration! Bold letters, words, colours...whatever you choose, make it big and bright!
If you've come from - or are heading to - the challenge blog, you'll see an array of fabulous cards from our April Guest Designer Karren Johnson - welcome to JUGS, Karren - and my talented teammates: Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, Maria.
I also have my own Guest Designer: my 8-year-old niece (yes, eight...she turned 8 in March), who designed a card for the challenge while she was at our place, visiting (with her family) over Easter Sunday/Monday. I'm soooooo impressed with her talents and hope you will be, too!
First, my card. Even though Spring is slow to arrive and Summer seems a long way off, I'm seeing Farmer Market signs popping up around our town. Those, in turn, reminded me of my Altenew Farmer's Market set, filled with big vegetable images. I inked them in bold colours, added a sentiment and...done! Salad, anyone? Perhaps a stir fry?
Next, is my niece's wonderfully bold 'rainbow' floral card. She used a combination of Zigs/Tombows to colour her Studio Katia You're So Ranunculus blooms, stenciled dragonflies from STAMPlorations Dragonfly Waltz for her background and added a sentiment from Studio Katia Label Messages. Aside from actually using the heat gun and getting a wee bit of help with some gluing, she did everything else herself! I started crafting with her when she was barely three and she can navigate my Misti and Big Shot like a pro! I absolutely LOVE her bright, pretty card!
Turning the stage over to you!
Looking forward to seeing your BOLD creations in the gallery!

Wow...Eight years old and already a pro..I am so impressed with her vibrant coloring of her beautiful flowers. Your card is a wonderful reminder that Spring and Gardening will be here soon. TFS Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteYour card is a rainbow of delight, Carol. Such yummy looking veggies! Great job. Your niece learned well from her aunty. I adore the bright and bold blooms, placed wonderfully in a bouquet. Her stenciled background looks terrific, too. You taught her well and she is chock full of talent. Thanks so much for sharing! Big hugs!!
ReplyDeleteStir fry sounds delicious to me, Carol, and your card looks delicious. Great colors and arrangement of vegetables. Ms. T's card is gorgeous. She has been a good student who may one day pass the teacher. ;)
ReplyDeleteBoth so great! The flowers are beauties and i love the veggies!
ReplyDeleteYummy veggies... would love a stir fry! 😉 Fun bold card, Carol.
