JUGS #93

Hi there, strangers!  Sorry I've been quiet all week, but I'm currently on the road, traveling to Indiana to visit family, then headed to Cincinnati next weekend for Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire!  Lots of fun stuff coming up!

This week at Just Us Girls brings a fabulous color challenge of coral, blush, and gray.  For more inspiration, check out the gorgeous graphic highlighting these colors:

Makes you want to go get your craft on, doesn't it?

For my card, I worked on it right after seeing THIS card by Nichole Heady, so I had those stitched cardstock strips on the brain and knew I had to incorporate them.  I started with a Smokey Shadow card base partially debossed with the sheet music impression plate.  I left a small strip for some Sweet Blush cardstock stamped with a sentiment from Verve's Accent Notes.

I stitched Berry Sorbet and Sweet Blush cardstock strips vertically, then topped them with a dahlia stamped onto Bitty Dots patterned paper and shaded with a Copic marker.  I added the large leaf, also from PTI's Delightful Dahlia, stamped on Sweet Blush cardstock.

Cardstock:  Papertrey Ink (Smokey Shadow, Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush)

Patterned paper:  Papertrey Ink (2008 Bitty Dot Basics)

Stamps:  Papertrey Ink (Delightful Dahlia), Verve (Accent Notes)

Ink:  Inkadinkadoo (Black), Copic markers

Tools:  Papertrey Ink (Sheet Music impression plate, dahlia & leaf dies), We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper), Martha Stewart (Scoring Board)

Accessories:  Michaels (rhinestone), thread

I show you this close-up not to draw attention to my miserable coloring skills, but so you can see more of that yummy debossed music score!

Okay, friends, it's off to bed for me so that I don't drive off the road tomorrow on the last leg of my journey.  Thanks for dropping in, and I hope to be back around to visit your blogs in a couple of days!
