Just Add Ink #599

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

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

My favourite animal is a sloth but I don’t have a sloth stamp in my stash. So i decided to go with a favourite animal I have in my craft room. The Count on Me Stamp Set has the cutest bear holding a heart, so I grabbed it out to colour with my Smoky Slate Blends. The heart has been coloured with the Cherry Cobbler Blends. I added an extra heart to the layers behind the leafy diecut.

The vellum DSP I’ve added to the background is from the Vellum 12 x 12 Layering Designs pack. I think I’m going to give this card to my niece for her baby shower as I think it will be a special day and want to wish her happiness for it.

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

Thanks for stopping by

Freshly Made Sketches #512

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for you to play along with. This week our sketch has been designed by the super talented Kim Singdahlsen.

The inspiration and starting point for this card came from the tree that Kim added to the sketch. Straight away I decided the tree die cut made with the Majestic Mountain Dies would work well. Initially I was thinking that I would make a Christmas card but decided to change it up and go with a baby card instead.

I haven’t made a baby card in ages, so I took out the Count On Me Stamp Set and coloured up this very cute bear image with Crumb Cake Blends. My Color Lifter got a real workout so that my bear ended up with a watercoloured look. The heart was coloured with the Bermuda Bay Blends. Again the heart got a workout with the Color Lifter.

Looking for DSP with matching tones to my tree and heart, I found these pieces of DSP from the Penguin Playmates DSP pack. This DSP was available for a short time during Sale-A-Bration, but is now retired. I matted both pieces with Soft Succulent Cardstock.

I added a White Crinkled Seam Binding ow and three Elegant Faceted Gems to the Basic White Cardstock. I also added some Sahara Sand Ink shading to the background with the Blending Brush.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created wonderful cards with this weeks sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Global Design Project #305

Hey Everyone

I had some time today to play along with pretty combination of colours at the Global Design Project.

The Count On Me Stamp Set has been sitting on my desk un-inked, so I decided it needed some ink love today.

So you might wonder why I went with a blue bear? I went with a blue bear as I remember a kids show years ago that had a blue bear and I figured if it was alright for TV, then a blue bear should be fine on a card. The bear was given colour with the Balmy Blue Blends. The heart the bear is holding has been coloured with the Pale Papaya Blends.

The little fox image has been coloured with the Pale Papaya Blends and the koalas watercoloured with Pear Pizzazz Ink. Koalas aren’t green, but I had to use the colours given to me. You could say they’ve maybe overdosed on eucalyptus leaves to be that shade?

The background of the card was shaded with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. The Basic White Cardstock die cut trees were cut with the Majestic Mountain Dies. I chose the sentiment from the Penguin Place Stamp Set purely because of it’s neat little size – it worked best for my card.

Thanks for stopping by.
