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!

Carol... that Altenew stencil is one of favorite... love your use of white with it! The "U" is adorable.
Your card is gorgeous Carol - I love how you used all those cute flowers xx
This card is just precious!
So glad you experimented with the white on green because it made a great daisy field background, Carol. The embroidery is lovely and makes the letter special.
Lovely springy background Carol. Love how you added more colour to that fun U. So pretty.
