Just Add Ink #707

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink was to create a card using the following sketch:

I decided to use my circle dies and cut out the half circle space. I then placed a piece of woodgrain DSP behind it. I then added some background stamping and ink flicking to age the cardstock. I then created some leaves by adding Old Olive Ink to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and took an Aqua Painter to add ink. Once the paper was dry, I then took the Autumn Leaves Dies and cut out three leaves. I wanted to add more definition to the leaves, so I add some Cajun Craze Ink highlights and flicked some ink over them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

The newest sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches has been designed by the wonderfully talented Jen Timko – make sure you head over to her blog and see her gorgeous creations.

I couldn’t go past the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set to fill the space on my card. I added a circle diecut made with the Stylish Shapes Dies under the flowers and arranged them as though they were falling down the card.

I added a strip of pretty DSP from the Unbounded Beauty DSP pack and stamped a sentiment from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set. You can never have too many birthday cards in your stash.

As always, the team have created stunning projects. Make sure you check them out here.

Hey Everyone

It’s new challenge time at Just Add Ink. This week is an inspiration pic challenge. Take a look at the inspiration pic we have for you.

I took the colours from the inspiration pic as well as the floral detail. I’ve coloured my flowers from the Flowers of Beauty Stamp Set to match the colours from the pic, fussy cut them out and layered them around my sentiment. I added a leafy diecut from the matching Flowers of Beauty Dies and a strip of DSP from the Thoughtful Journey DSP.

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

Hey Everyone

Time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink! This weeks challenge is at Just Add Ink is to create a project using the following colours:

I wanted to created a card that may not be the usual colour combo for an underwater creation. I was itching to use the Seaside Wishes Bundle again so I made the challenge colours work for this weeks challenge.

I started by embossing the background with my new Seaside Wishes Hybrid Embossing Folder. I then took a blending brush and Coastal Cabana Ink and applied ink over the embossing.

I then took the stones like stamp and stamped a path of stones in Starry Sky Ink. The starfish were also inked up in Starry Sky Ink, stamped and fussy cut out. The shells were then stamped in Berry Burst Ink and also fussy cut out.

I layered my embossed/stamped cardstock over a piece of Starry Sky Cardstock and this was then adhered to a Coastal Cabana Cardstock base.

Hey Everyone

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

I love getting new goodies to play with. I looked at this sketch and decided the clouds from the Adventurous Sky Bundle. After stamping the clouds, giving them some colour and fussy cutting them out, I stamped some planes and gave them the same treatment. The background has been shaded with Pool Party Ink and a Blending Brush.

The team have created awesome creations using the sketch. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for our newest sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch has been designed by one of our co-leaders at FMS Jennifer Timko. Jennifer looks after us and makes all that comes with being on DT a breeze. We love her and Jen Mitchell for everything they do for us!

I received the Spotlight In Nature Stamp Set and Dies when I attended the recent 2024 Stampin’ Up! Onstage Event. This was the first time I opened them to create with.

I coloured my flowers, leaves and butterfly with blends and fussy cut them out. I then took the die and cut a couple of circle die cuts with this gorgeous embossing and patterns on them.

The background was initially a plain Basic White Cardstock base, but I felt it needed a little somethin. I took out the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and the Dark Calypso Coral Blend and added details to the cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Our latest challenge at Just Add Ink is to:

I had to think about this challenge as I don’t have any chocolate stamp sets or dies. So in the end I went with decorating chocolate bars. That counts doesn’t it?

I actually had need for these gifts as I recently attended Stampin’ Up!s 2024 Onstage Event. I coordinated a catch up for all South Pacific current and past Artisans. These were my swaps for the amazing group of girls I finally got to meet. Of course there was hugs, laughs and lots of fun.

The Stippled Rose Stamp Set sat pride of place on the two individually wrapped chockies. They were then wrapped with a belly band of DSP and tizzy’d up the way I like them.

We’d love for you to join in this challenge, Head over to Just Add Ink and link up your project.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my blog and a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. This weeks fab sketch has been designed by Cecile Ribon. Cecile’s gorgeous cards always inspire me.

I had Easter on my mind when i saw this sketch. The half circles reminded me of an opened Easter egg, so I pulled out my Easter Bunny Stamp Set and Excellent Egg Dies.

I created a faux watercoloured background to place my image and diecuts on. I then added some leafy stems that were cut with the Painted Lavender Dies. An Easter sentiment from the Excellent Egg Stamp Set was added to my layers as well as some Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday here in Australia, so that means a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is

Stampin’ Up! DSPs are not only for using in the background, they also have pretty images ready to be fussy cut and placed on your projects.

The bird images I’ve fussy cut are from the Flight and Airy DSP. I inked up some leaves from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set and cut them out. I then took the script background stamp and stamped it randomly in the background. Over this, I took a blending brush and Balmy Blue Ink and shaded over the stamped area.

Because I had a die cut leaf from the Gorgeously Made Dies, I added this also. Nothing like having a full background to my card.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.
