Had a few mins to play in my craft room today that wasn’t for design team stuff. The challenge at Global Design Project got me wanting to get craft with their pretty colour challenge.
After tossing up stamp sets, I decided the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set was the set I was going to use. I know ladybugs are these colours, but I reckon it doesn’t really matter that much, does it?
I’ve added tearing, blending and ink splatters to the background and then layered the images over it all.
Cecile’s sketch at Freshly Made Sketches is an awesome one! She always designs sketches that creative and I really enjoy the challenge when putting all of my pieces together.
I’ve snuck another leaf on my card than what was on her sketch, but I felt two leaves for two ladybugs worked better for my layout. The leaves, ladybugs and sentiment are all from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set.
The leaves were already stamped and set aside from another project that I had yet to finish, so they were an easy add to my card. The leaves were stamped in Garden Green Ink and fussy cut out.
The ladybug body was stamped in Highland Heather Ink and the wings have been stamped in Gorgeous Grape Ink. The little flowers I’ve added have been stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink and the centre of them have been coloured with the Dark Fresh Freesia Blend to add depth.
The background of the cardstock has been lightly coloured with the Light Balmy Blue and Light Crumb Cake Blends. I then took the Light Basic Black Blend and flicked ink splatters over the shading.
The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.
Who’s ready for a new colour challenge at Just Add Ink? Myself and the Design Team are!
This week our colours for you to create with are:
Can you believe this card started off quite plain? It then grew in to this…lotsa layers and details.
The stamp set I’ve used is called Hello Ladybug. It had been neglected so I decided to give it the ink love and came up with this.
I used two embossing folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders pack. I added diecuts cut with the Countryside Corners Dies. I’ve layered these dies with images stamped from the Hello Ladybug Stamp Set. Because you can never have too many details, I added some flowers from the same stamp set.
The team have created awesome cards using these colours. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.
