Just Add Ink #723

Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I’ve chosen to use trees and circles for my card. The trees are from the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set. The circles have been added by the way of a circle diecut and also circles in the embossing folder I’ve used to emboss the white cardstock in the background. This embossing folder is called Dotted Circles Embossing Folder. Circle galore basically.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #721

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday, so that means we have a new challenge for you to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is an inspiration picture challenge. I just love the colours in these pics.

I’ve combined a couple of stamp sets here – the Sentimental Wishes Stamp Set and the retired Notes of Nature Stamp Set. The Notes of Nature stamps gave me the typed background that were in some of the photos.

I then stamped the images from the Sentimental Wishes Stamp Set and lightly coloured them with a combination of my brown and ivory blends. Each of the images were fussy cut out and layered over the stamped background.

I then chose a piece of Nests of Winter DSP as it matched the neutral tones I was going for.

Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #655

Hey Everyone

Welcome to the newest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is Jennifer Baum. Jennifer creates elegant cards and fab sketches with circles.

I have new stamp sets to play with and I thought these baubles, made with the Hang An Ornament Dies. I thought the baubles would work well with the circles from the sketch. I’ve used the die with the Season of Elegance Speciality Designer Series Paper. The foil highlights in these papers make for sparkly ornaments. The sentiment I’ve used is from the matching Hang An Ornament Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #655

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch hostess for this weeks challenge is Jen Mitchell. I just love her sketch as much as I love her creations.

It’s definitely beginning to look like Christmas with this card. These tree images and sentiment are from Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set. I love fussy cutting and felt they would look good fussy cut out and raised up with Dimensionals. I’ve stamped them in a combination of Basic Gray, Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate. The background was given a winter-y feel by stamping the ink splatters/snow like stamp from the same stamp set. I then took a Blending Brush and Pool Party Ink and shaded the Basic White Cardstock. To tie it all together I took a piece of DSP from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper pack and added this to my card. Bling is a must, so I added some Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. Finally a sentiment was added, also from the Peaceful Evergreens Stamp Set.

The team have created gorgeous projects with this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

I added some foliage but kept it pretty clean instead of colouring it.

Freshly Made Sketches #651

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch for you to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is Jennifer Timko. She is the creator of all things elegant and all things gorgeous!

I tried a new colour combo – Blackberry Bliss, Pecan Pie and Crumb Cake. These leaves have been inked up in one of each colour. I am loving the detail in each of the leaves from the Changing Leaves Stamp Set. They’re also the perfect size to be the focal point on cards. I added a sentiment from the same set and inked it up in Blackberry Bliss Ink.

Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink #715

Hey Everyone

The newest challenge at Just Add Ink is for you to

I kinda went really simple as I had no time to think more creatively over the weekend.

I took a piece of scrap cardstock that I had diecut a circle out of with my Stylish Shapes Dies. I used this as a mask and shaded the exposed cardstock with Pecan Pie Ink. I kept the shading darker around the edges and kept the centre of the circle lighter. I then took my Dark Basic Black Blend and flicked ink over over the circle.

I already had these butterflies coloured and fussy cut out from another project, so all I had to do was adhere them to the cardstock. Along with the leafy diecut. These butterflies are from the Sketches Butterflies Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
