It’s already the third week of February and the third challenge of the month for Just Us Girls. This time it’s a Moodboard and there are so many ways to find inspiration here.
I asked for a bigger photo, so I thought you might like one, too. I was immediately draw to the upper right-hand photo of the Vanity Fair magazine cover. I love the bright yellow, red, and blue color combination and the Art Deco feel of the design. One of my favorite Pinkfresh Studio dies is the Gatsby die set, so I set off to use that die with the same color combination.
Gina K’s “Red Hot” cardstock, “Royal” by Paper Source, and Summer Sunrise by Papertrey Ink were good matches. There’s also a lot of black in the magazine cover, so I stamped the greeting in black and added black to the border design as well. The Greetery’s Everyday Labels also has the Art Deco feel to it, and fit perfectly in the open space. My son’s birthday is later this month, and he’ll appreciate the design.
The border was die cut once in red, black and blue and pieced together. The only embellishment were the red metallic nail heads which fit perfectly on the sentiment.
Truly, this has to be one of the most versatile Moodboards I’ve ever seen. I think I could have created multiple, and very different, cards using it. But I’m pretty sure, I’ll come back to this design again. I’ll be checking the JUGS gallery to see what you and others have found inspirational as well. And do check to see what the Design Team has come up with already!
