THIRLLED!

 Hi all!

I'm so excited to share with you all today...I was selected by the team at Just Us Girls Challenge (aka JUGS) to be their guest designer for the month of July!!!  

Its such an honor...I love this challenge site.  They are always changing it up each week with their challenges, which makes me think outside of the box.  That's when I do my best creating!

The first challenge this month is Pastels.  This is a challenge for me, as I LOVE COLOR! (as a former art teacher is kind required) Most of my projects have lots of bold color, so to keep the colors soft and muted is a bit outside of my comfort zone.

I used a new stencil set from The Ton called Sweet Bouquet.  While for me it creams for the need of bold colors, I do love this pastel version.  All the inks are from Altenew, Vanilla Cream, Frost Pink and Pink Pearl. The centers were done with Industrial Diamond ink (also from Altenew), it's a soft but deep grey color that I love using.  The greens are Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades and the back ground is Mountain Mist using the Broken Chevrons stencil.

The sentiment is from Bold Sentiments and again I used Industrial Diamond to ink it.  I added gunmetal Stickles to the centers of the flowers and a few dots around.

NOW...show me your pastel creation!  I can't wait to see them...

Have a colorful day!  See you next week!
