Hey Everyone
It’s Friday so that means a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is an inspiration pic challenge. Have a look at all the Christmasy goodness in it:
I took the colours from pic for my card and created a festive card. The products I used are from the Hang An Ornament Bundle. I’ve used both the stamp set and the dies. I then trimmed the holly and candy cane images from the Sentimental Christmas DSP pack.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
It’s Wednesday, so that means a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our challenge for you is to create a card using this fab sketch designed by the super talented Kim Singdahlsen.
I love a leafy Xmas card! I’ve used the Regal Distressed Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper for the strips in the background. I then layered diecuts from the Golden Greenery Dies. I used Pretty Peacock and Basic White Cardstock for my leafy colour. I then wanted to add a statement sentiment. This was created with the Wanted To Say Dies in Pretty Peacock and Basic White Cardstocks also.
Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the Freshly Made Sketches team have created.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
The 2024 Artisan Design Team is feeling the spirit of the season. This is a special Secret Santa Gift Exchange Hop! Earlier we drew names and then got busy hand stamping a project just for them. The projects in this hop are all gifts to one another.
So I’ve gone with the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set because I love it, but also I felt it worked well for the CASE’d card from my SS recipient. But mainly coz I love!!! My special card was created for Monique. I just fell in love with her layering, her use of colours and her background stamping, so I tried to bring all of that into my card. Merry Xmas Monique!
We are hopping over on instagram. To see everyone’s gorgeous creations for each other, make sure you check out our hop.

Hey Everyone
It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:
I’ve used the challenge colours to create a card full of butterflies. These cluster of butterflies are from the Sketched Butterflies Stamp Set. To add some interest to the background, I added some diecut coral made with the Beauty of the Deep Dies. To create the coral background, I watercoloured some Thick Basic White Cardstock with Gorgeous Grape and Azure Afternoon Inks and once it was dried, i diecut to pieces and adhered them to the background.
The team have created awesome projects using the challenge colours. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone
Ready for a new challenge at Just Add Ink? I am! This week our challenge is a sketch challenge:
I used this weeks sketch to create a festive card for my stash. I’ve inked up the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set and stamped the trees in Garden Green and Wild Wheat Inks. I love how Wild Wheat looks liike gold. Because of the goldish tones of the ink, I added a strip of DSP from the Season of Green and Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.
To the cluster of trees, I added a reindeer that has been coloured with my blends. This reindeer is from the Reindeer Fun Stamp Set.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
Time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the fabulously talented Jacquie Southas.
This sketch is such a cool one. I had the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set on my desk from another project, so I thought I’d give it a go for this card as well.
I’ve kept all neutral tones as this card can be used for a male or female. The designer series paper I’ve used is from the Country Lace DSP pack.
Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.
Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone
Newest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is here for you to play along with. This week Judy Rozema is our sketch hostess. Take a look at her fabulous creations on her blog by clicking here:
I coloured up some bird images from the Winterly Tree Tops Stamp Set and layered them over an oval diecut made with Country Woods DSP. I then stamped up some leaves from the Golden Greenery Stamp Set and fussy cut them out. I added some discarded diecuts leaves, made with the Golden Greenery Dies, just because I had them sitting there and they worked well with the colour combo I was going for.
The team have created wonderful cards that will inspire you, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.
