Just Add Ink #572

Hey Everyone

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. Take a look at the pic we have for you to create your project.

I took the pink from the flowers, green from the grass and blue from the sky for my card. The stamp set these flowers come from is called Forever & Always. The flowers have been coloured with the Lovely Lipstick Blends. I also added Light Smoky Blend touches to the centre of the flowers.

The leaves, that I have stamped in Old Olive Ink, are the from the Christmas Season Stamp Set. I like mixing stamp sets as I get more use from them. The leaves have been fussy cut out and adhered to the card base with Mini Dimensionals.

The card base was given colour with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. I think adding a shaded background softens the base and makes the flowers stand out. A sentiment was added and three Basic Pearls to create a bling-y card. White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon is a great embellished detail to add to any card, because you can never have too many details to look at.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards using the inspiration pic. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #386

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch for you to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch hostess has been designed by the incredibly talented Jacquie Southas.

Here’s this weeks fab sketch:

I chose Jacquie’s sketch to use some of this gorgeous DSP from the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper pack. This pack is ultra pretty with elegant touches of foil throughout each of the papers – maybe that’s why it named Simply Elegant….

I added leaf die cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies. I then cut the die cut sentiment from the Always Dies and combined it with a stamped sentiment from the Forever & Always Stamp Set. I heat embossed this sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock.

To tie in the gold foil from the DSP, I punched some Gold Foil circles with various Circle Punches and rolled them into flowers. I used Tombow to adhere them to the card.

Here’s what I created:

The clean team at Freshly Made Sketch have created gorgeous cards that will inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.
