Just Us Girls Challenge #597~Trend Week: Black and White....Black and White Missee Hi, How are you?

Hello,

Waving *hi* from sweltering hot - again - Alberta! The heat wave has returned! Yuck! All the more reason to stay inside and craft.

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #598, where our lovely Vicki has selected Black & White for this week's trend. I'm anticipating a very creative gallery with this combination!


Once again, we're delighted to have Claire Apostoloff joining us as our guest designer. Her card and those of the team are absolutely fabulous!

Missees in action once again; this time, a card inspired by one of Karin Joan's talented designers, Miriam de Vos. I used 'most' of the LIMES technique, the brain-child of my talented,  innovative friend, Ardyth to create my version. The overall design is similar to Miriam's, but I opted for a die-cut hair style and scrunchie and no pops-of-colour, so as to be true to Vicki's theme. I'm pleased with the results, especially in getting the striped border and strip of washi more-or-less straight! Yayyy! And yes, she's sporting glitter paper glasses, alongside Wink of Stella-ed sentiment and hearts.


Turning the stage over to you.
Looking forward to seeing how B & W inspire you!

Thank you for dropping by!

Oh golly, Carol, hope the heat subsides soon for you! Not fun, except for that excuse to craft. ;) And my, oh my, what a fabulous card! I adore every detail. Wow! Thanks for sharing. Crafty hugs!

Very fun!

This is absolutely so clever and cool, Carol. I am blown away! You are one of the most talented card makers! I am so impressed! Love the black and white stripe and how it matched her scrunchy! Those eyes are so cool too. Have a great week and hope the temps subside!

Claire said...

Oh I love this - what a great image. I'd be too tempted to add on a pop of colour and give her some baby blues lol!

Lindsey said...

This may just be my favourite Missee card yet! So classy in black and white, with the stripes and the pop of glitter for her specs.

This is so cool! I love that Missee in black and white with those fab glasses. Love the added hearts and the black and white strip matching the band in her hair.

Hello Carol..The reason I came here was this card.. it made me think of the photo challenge at Time out. But I see it wasn't inspired by Kim's bag.. but it's Perfect for it. I hope you'll join us there. AND I love Ardyth's LIMES too..I remember the Muse card challenges..and I miss it. Limes could have been used there. Most often I forget to use Limes and case a card. But when I do..the Limes lesson is a good one!

LeAnne said...

What a fabulous card, Carol! Those eyes peeking through glittered glasses are haunting and the matching stripes on the panel and scrunchie add a whimsical feel.
