I'm really pleased to announce that I've been invited by the ladies at Just Us Girls Challenge to participate as Designer for the Month of June!
This first challenge of the month is Word Week #587 - Kind/Kindness. I have to admit to having some difficulty getting started and had a couple of false starts, but I finally settled on a thank you card that could be masculine or feminine - and in my favorite CAS style.
I started by inking some light green dots onto a white card base, then gluing 2 die cut white flower branches (Tim Holtz #661808) directly on the card and overlapping a die-cut tag (Stampin' Up "Framelits - Chalk Talk") on which I had stamped the sentiment from two different stamp sets (PTI "Embroidered Blooms" and Hero Arts DC152) in Memento "Tuxedo" and Stampendous white embossing powder respectively. I attached a third flower to the face of the tag after smudging a tiny bit of green ink on it. Then because I can never pass up the opportunity to hang some twine off my cards, I tied a short length of black and white baker's twine through a hole I punched in the tag.

Well, despite the fact that June is a very busy family month of birthdays and barbeques, I am looking forward to filling out the month with the JUG challenges. Although I am "officially" retired I agreed to do one last interior design project for one of my favorite builders and it's a large medical research facility, which will probably seriously cut into my free time for the next several months. Oh well, I'm accustomed to keeping several balls in the air at once!
I love the simplicity of this card! Welcome to JUGS for the month of June :)
