I'm the host this week over at the "Just Us Girls" challenge blog. Hope you'll stop by and play along!
This week's challenge is dry embossing, with a twist to make a birthday card, as today is my team member Dana's birthday! Dana was under the (false) impression that today's challenge was with a twist of thanks, so that we could keep our birthday wishes a secret!
Happy Birthday Dana!!!
I made my card fairly simple, using the number block embossing folder, and a fun looking sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Mod Squad set.
Pink and Orange are such a happy color combo to me, and thought it would be good for a card for Dana. I even colored in the polka dots on my ribbon (a la Lauren Meader) to make it all matchy matchy :).
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the challenge...I want to give that double embossing technique a try (Pam's example with it is great!)
Be sure to stop by the rest of the Girls' blogs to see what they've been up to - and MAKE SURE you go to Dana's blog and give her some birthday love!

Your card is a wonderful squeeze of summer into my fall birthday day. I LOVE the combo of bright pink and orange, love it! And the coloring of the dot ribbon is a great tip. I have to remember that. Well, my sweet friend, thank you so much for my birthday surprise. I am so grateful for my JUGs friends.
