Our moodboard week #767 is here at Just Us Girls and it is all about spring. Look closely and you will see a bunny, a lamb, different flowers, a pretty floral-decorated cake, eggs, a cabbage pitcher, a butterfly, a heart, and much more for your inspiration. I took the yellow-centered flowers from the cake and green leaves, then added a touch of spring pink to my square card. Some quick embroidery and added gems and this project was complete!
Altenew - Blooming Flower Bed Builder Stencil set
Spellbinders - Stitched U die
My Favorite Things - Well, Hello stamp set
Concord and 9th - Mini ink pads
Ranger - Distress Oxide ink pads
VersaMagic - Cloud White Archival chalk ink pad
Pretty Pink Posh - gems
DMC - Embroidery floss
First I stenciled on a square medium-green panel with white ink to see how it would show up on colored cardstock. When I saw that it did show up, I continued to use the stencil layers to create a background.
Next, I die cut the "U" twice on white cardstock and its shadow once in pink. I glued the two white U die cuts together for sturdiness and embroidered using a green that matched the stenciling. I added pink gems when I was done stitching.
I stamped part of a sentiment so that my "U" completed the message.
After cutting a green mat for the stenciled piece, I adhered the sentiment and "U" to it. I cut a 5" square card base and adhered my completed panel onto it.
Like I said earlier, there are so many elements to our moodboard to inspire your card. Can't wait to see you in our gallery!
