Hi all! I whipped up a project to play along with Just Us Girls this week, so I'm popping in to share real quick. I'm getting up early to lay wreaths at Arlington National Cemetery so I need to get some zzzzzs (you'll probably be reading this while I'm laying wreaths :). The oh-so-talented Kathryn is our hostess this week for a fun technique challenge (JUGS114). She challenged us to create a Center Step Card, which I've never done so I thought I'd give it a stab. I also needed a birthday card for a co-worker, so it worked out perfectly :0]
I wanted to use some of my new paper from the Amour collection, so I went with that color palette. I recolored the leaves of my Happy Hallows tree to match, printed and cut with the Well Rounded Tag. I cut my black layer by increasing the size of my tag by 10% and shaving off about 1/8th inch from the bottom. I used a Recollections border punch on the side panel layers, and decorated the bottom with black sewing trim, ribbon, resin Recollections roses, and my sentiment. The Happy Birthday comes from the So Sentimental set and is cut using the Lil Inker Designs Sentiment Flag.
For the inside, I printed my "Just For You" sentiment and a few colored leaves and cut them out using the Be-Dazzled cut file. Simple, yet effective I think :]
You can follow along with the very easy instructions HERE if you'd like to play along by making a Center Step Card this week! Be sure to check out the DT's amazing projects for some additional inspiraton :]
