Just Us Girls #664


A new prompt is up at the Just Us Girls Challenge blog where today marks my final day as Guest Designer for January.  Any guesses?





The design team is looking for Clean and Simple Birthday cards.  


Cards with lots of white space are one of my favorites so this was a fun one.  I tend to forget about my stash of PaperTrey Ink stamps so I did a deep dive and found a set of sentiments which function as a unique alternative to a belated birthday greeting.  I knew I wanted a circular focal design so then it was just a matter of finding the right sumthin' sumthin' to complete the design.  Black cat it is!  I hadn't planned to create the off center white on black mat but it just seemed to work better in the end, especially with the off center design of the circle as a whole.  Sometimes you just gotta roll with it.  :-) 

Supplies:
PaperTrey Ink - It's the Thought stamp set
PoppyStamps - Cat Companion die

I hope you'll join in on the fun.  I'd love to see your takes on the Clean & Simple Birthday in the JUGS gallery.  Thanks so much to the entire JUGS team for inviting me to play along with them this month!

As always, thanks so much for spending a bit of your day with me!

Jules

  3. I love how the offset circle balances out the black cat, Jules. The sentiment is a better way to admit a missed birthday. It's been great having you as our guest this month.

  4. Fabulous Jules! So glad you spent the month with us! I love the sentiment... sometimes I send out "sorry I missed your birthday cards" just as a conversation starter with people I haven't talked to in awhile. Love your card!
