Just Us Girls #596 Word Week - Guest Designer

Hello inkers,

I'm delighted to be guest designer over at Just Us Girls again.  There are some fabulous challenges coming up for August so head on over to the blog for some inspiration from the DT. This week's it's Word Week and the word is 'harvest:'








Harvest makes me think of Autumn, in particular my school days (a long, long time ago) when  we had the harvest festival at primary school and we all had to take in a tin of canned goods to put in a harvest gift basket for the local church. I remember the school hall would be decorated with sunflowers so that's the image I chose for my card - a pretty sunflower from PTI.  I coloured it with Copics and added some background detail with a die cut given to me by a lovely friend and a strip of DP. 

I've no idea where that die cut is from so if anyone could enlighten me, do let me know - I think it might become one of my next favourites.

I'm also popping this over to Time Out where's there's an 'inspired by words' challenge.

Hope you get to join in with JUGs this week - you may get to be 'Chic of the Week' and be a future guest designer.

Happy stamping!

Claire
