Polka Dot Foil You're the Best



Hi there, it's Angie, here with another card for the Just Us Girls month of April challenges.
Thanks so much for inviting me as this month guest designer, such an honor!

Be sure to check out all the fabulous inspiration from the JUGS Design Team!

I will have to admit that this was a tough one for me because I rarely use lavender or peach on my cards or even ivory for that matter!  So here's what I did:  I took a polka dot pattern (free off the internet) and printed it on a toner printer and then foiled it in gold with my Mini Minc.  Then I took the sentiment circle from Gina K. Designs (these toner printed greetings came in her last kit - Made With Love) and foiled it in gold.  I used GKD lavender and ivory card stock and a piece of peach card stock from my stash and cut them with MFT Stitched Rectangle frame dies, MFT stitched rectangle dies and Memory box stitched circle dies.  Put it all together and popped up the greeting on fun foam, then added the Tiny Twine bow die, from Waffle Flower.  This card was super easy and fast to make, just a little foiling and and some quick die cuts and it was complete.  I think it's a perfect card to send to my accountant for doing such a great job on my tax return!

I hope you can join in at the fun over at the Just Us Girls Challenge - Color Week - 339!
