Just Us Girls 200th Challenge

Good Morning!

I noticed that Just Us Girls  is up to their 200th Challenge... That's quite a milestone!

This week it's a sketch challenge


As the weather here has been wet and windy I found some time yesterday to play along ... 


This is for a friend of mine who has a birthday in a couple of weeks ...
I've used the Pink Petticoat Ombre collection to print my card ... giving it that lovely graduated colour
The peeled paint paper is by Fancy Pants and the blue / green paper is another digital from (the no longer) Design House Digitals


The lovely jar is from a set of digital images by Iralamija ... I printed it onto paper first then onto acetate ... sliding the flower stems behind the acetate ... It's hard to see on the photos but it does look like a glass jar


I've been using these jar images a lot lately ... you'll see in some up coming projects ... But I think this is one of my favourite colour combinations

Ok ... I've a lot to do today and I think Ross is also coming to see me with my brother and SIL ... so better dash

Thanks so much for your visit 

Have a beautiful day

~ Ros ~

Now that's a real beautiful flower jar Ros! Love how the stems 'shine through' the 'glass', wonderfully made with such fab papers, too. Hugs, Ira x

It looks like you could reach out and peel some paint off that paper.
