JUGS #97

Edited to Add:  I received an Honourable Mention for this entry!  YAY

This is my second post for the day (there could be a third), please scroll down for my WMS August Blog Waltz entry.

I made this birthday book for my mother, not that long ago, which I felt would qualify for this challenge. These colours are absolutely her, she really isn't a frilly and fussy girl and she is a former Home Economics teacher (sewing, cooking etc), so the decorations on the cover are particularly appropriate.  I need to make a couple more in the next few weeks for my aunts in Victoria AND start to think about end of year teacher presents.  Any ideas? they would be most gratefully received.

JUGS #96

I have had this challenge on my to do list for a while, but not had the time, well the time is now and here is my entry.

Using Waltzingmouse stamps (because they were out) I tried to create a layered flower with the largest chrysanthemum, both the outline and block colour stamp.  Unfortunately the outline was a little too pale on white cardstock, so it lost a couple of layers.

What you need
Cardstock - SU white, old olive, real red
Stamps -  WMS Big Bloom Chrysanthemums, Large Doily (sentiment)
Ink - SU Real Red, Rose Red, Regal Rose, Old Olive, Choc Chip
Dies - PTI Limitless Layers
Pearl Brad - Kaisercraft
