Global Design Project #358

Hey Everyone

It’s a cold Sunday here in Australia so I’ve found a challenge to join in with instead of cleaning..cleaning can wait until tomorrow. The challenge at Global Design Project this week is a fab sketch challenge.

The card I’ve created feature flowers and leaves from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. To recreate the circles under the sentiment, I took two circle dies, a journalling pen and traced around the inside of the two different sized dies. The background cardstock was then given flicks of ink by flicking the nib of my Light Basic Black Blend against the lid of the blend.

I added a strip of striped DSP from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper. I keep every off cut as they come in handy for adding strips for layering. I tore a piece of Basic Black Cardstock and added this also.

I then stamped up the flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and watercoloured them with Basic Gray Ink. The centre of the flowers were coloured with the Daffodil Delight Blends. The leaves were watercoloured with Mossy Meadow Ink. All Images were then fussy cut out and adhered with Dimensionals.

To finish of the card I added a sentiment from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and three black Matt Dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday already. I can’t believe how quickly the weekends comes around! The challenge at Just Add Ink this week is a colour challenge. Take a look at the colours we have for you to play along with:

Amongst my new goodies, I ordered the Artistic Decorative Masks. I wanted to create a different background than what I normally do. I took the mask, a Blending Brush and Fresh Freesia Ink. The colour went down really easy and i shaded the cardstock randomly. I was really happy with the result.

I then stamped up the large flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and watercoloured them with Starry Sky Ink and the small flowers with Fresh Freesia Ink. The leaves have been coloured with the Mint Macaron Blends. I fussy cut out all of the images and placed them around my card.

The sentiment I’ve used is also from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment in Black Memento Ink and die cut the sentiment out with a label die from the Natural Prints Dies. All of my images and layers have been raised with Dimensionals. Three Basic Pearls finished off my card.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome creations and all of them so varied. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I find I craft more in Winter and when I have new products to play with. The weather was cold enough to keep me inside all weekend!

I found that challenge at Global Design Project is a themed challenge that I wanted to play along with. Here’s their inspiration pic:

I find circles the easiest to work with. I cut heaps of Basic White Cardstock circles and embossed them with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. To add a little interest to the background, I took my Blending Brush and Daffodil Delight Ink and roughly shaded the Basic White Cardstock. I then layered the embossed circles on the background with Dimensionals.

The strip of striped DSP is from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper Pack. The flowers and leaves are also from the DSP. I fussy cut them out and coloured them with my Daffodil Delight Blends and Soft Sea Foam Blends.

I looked for a stamp set that had just the right sentiment as I wanted it to fit in a circle also. This sentiment is from the Cottage Rose Sentiment. Love the way these different fonts work together.

To finish off the card I added a Gold and Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon bow. This ribbon is just divine!

Thanks for stopping by.
