Just Add Ink #629

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

It’s new challenge time at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

One of my fav “winged” stamp sets is a retired Stampin’ Up! set called Free As A Bird. These birds are perfect for colouring and I really love the artwork in them.

I’ve paired my birds with flowery and leafy images from the Blessings of Home Stamp Set. I lightly coloured the flowers and leaves so that the birds stood out against the foliage. The sentiment was one I had stamped and lay discarded on my desk. I have forgotten what set it was from at the time of typing this… The DSP I’ve used is also retired, it’s called Heart & Home DSP. I matted this with Pool Party Cardstock and layered it on a Basic White card base.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #533

Hey Everyone

Tis Wednesday! So that means a new sketch to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is non other than my tall hiking Canadian friend Jennifer Brum! She loves the outdoors, as do I, but me usually viewing from the car window… But we both love our craft rooms and creating, so she’s a keeper in my books!

I have to say, i absolutely adore this sketch. It’s awesome and I can see so many different images being combined with it.

I’ve layered three strips of DSP that we trimmed to add the space for the sentiment. This pretty DSP is from the Heart & Home DSP pack. To pair my images with the DSP, I stamped up a Fresh Freesia flower from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. I then stamped up two more flowers in Smoky Slate Ink. All three flowers were then fussy cut out.

The leaves I’ve added to the layers are stamped in Soft Succulent Ink and also fussy cut out.

To add a bit more dimension and texture, I cut a Whisper White Cardstock leafy die cut from the matching Artistic Dies.

To finish off my card, I added three Polished Dots.

The team at Freshly Made Sketches have created wonderful cards with the sketch. Head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #334

Hey Everyone

It’s been ages since I’ve posted! I’ve been out of action due to an injury but am keen to get back in to crafting.

I decided to get back on the tools by joining in the latest challenge at Global Design Project Challenge. This week they have a sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are my favourite as they give me the perfect starting point to creating a card.

Here’s their fab sketch:

I had one of the Stampin’ Up! Sale-A-Bration stamp sets sitting on my desk called Friendly Hello. I’ve lightly coloured the bird and floral image with my Smoky Slate and Fresh Freesia Blends. I took a leaf diecut that was sitting on my desk and cut it in half and layered this under my image. The leaf was cut with the Tropical Layers Dies. My collage and image were layered directly on to designer series paper. Both pieces of designer series paper I’ve added to my card are from the Heart & Home Designer Series Paper pack.

The sentiment I’ve used on my card is also from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set. I hand cut this sentiment out and layered it over the images and diecut. After all of this was stuck down I decided to add some Silver Twine from the Simply Elegant Trim pack and also three Basic Rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by.
