Hey Everyone

There’s a fun new challenge over at Just Add Ink for you to play along with. Take a look at our challenge for you:

I chose Rainbows and Flowers for this challenge. I created a background in rainbow colours made with the Painted Stripes Stamp. This stamp is a background stamp and it worked perfectly for adding my rainbow of colours.

The flowers part of the challenge are from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set. I coloured them in colourful detail to match the colourful background. To tone down all of these coloiurs, I added Basic White Cardstock leaves made with the leafy die from the Thankful Garden Dies.

The team have created awesome projects for this challenge. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

It needs to my on my warmer side of the world tho as it’s too cold all year around on her side. And there’s bears in Canada. They legit walk around everywhere in the streets! This weeks designer is Jen Brum – creator of lovely elegant cards.

I’ve gone with neutral colours for my card. These colours were chosen after my DSP choice. This DSP is from the Botanical Textures DSP pack. I’ve then added fussy cut stamped images from the Textured Notes Stamp Set. I then added some texture to the background with my new Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. Oh how I love a corrugated background!

Hey Everyone

Welcome to another Wednesday and a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed the uber talented and super lovely Jennifer Timko.

Take a look at her sketch:

I adorned my cad with images and sentiments from more new stamp sets. The fllower and leaves images are from the Memorable Blooms Stamp Set. I chose Wild Wheat colours for the flowers as I had used a speckled gold piece of DSP in the background. Wild Wheat reminds me of gold so that’s why I chose this pairing.

The sentiments are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. I love the combo of the larger sentiment combined with a smaller solid print font. Under the sentiment I chose a diecut to add detail to the layers.

I had a piece of ribbon sitting on my desk, so I pulled a strand on this piece and it gathered the ribbon. I adhered it down in it’s gathered form.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created awesome cards using Jen’s sketch. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Let’s see what our fab sketch designer Jacquie Southas at Freshly Made Sketches has created for us.

Got myself new goodies so I had to use them for my card.

I’ve used fussy cut florals from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper for my card. Having these gorgeous blooms already coloured and detailed makes it so easy to add to a card. I then stamped up the banners image from the Birthday Celebrations Stamp Set in Pecan Pie and added a fancy sentiment from the same stamp set.

We would love it if you could play along with our sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches. Head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

My colour scheme came from the strip of DSP I added to the background. This Pool Party strip is from the Country Woods DSP pack. I then carried over the tones to my leaves, diecuts and sentiment.

Hey Everyone

Time for a new sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is Karren Johnson – who is not too far from me – New Zealand. Not far if you count a plane ride and a passport…. Karren’s creations are gorgeously detailed and full of amazingness.

I had these coloured flower images, from the Stippled Rose Stamp Set, sitting on my desk. Thought it was time to add them to a card. I took some paper from the Coujntry Woods DSP pack and cit it into pieces to match the sketch.

I then layered the images with die cuts from the Golden Greenery Dies to give a fullness to the layers.

Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Hey Everyone

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

I’ve created a card that has embossing and a white background. I guess you could also say blending as I have used my blends to colour the flowers from the Flowers of Beauty Stamp Set.

I’ve taken my Stylish Shapes Dies and created some banners, a circle as well as a square frame. I then placed my flowers amongst the diecuts.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome cards that will inspire you. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.
