Just Add Ink #703

Hey Everyone

The card I’m sharing today is for the latest challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is to:

I haven’t used the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set enough – so I got it out and gave it a workout for this challenge.

I stamped up the balloons in a combo of Real Red and Pumpkin Pie. After stamping them, I fussy cut them out layered them on a circle diecut. The circle diecut has been placed over a piece of DSP from the Unbounded Beauty DSP pack.

I then stamped up clouds from the Adventurous Sky Stamp Set in Summer Splash Ink and took a Blender Pen and moved some of the ink around to give them shading. The clouds were fussy cut out and trimmed to fit around the balloons.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Freshly Made Sketches #621

Hey Everyone

It’s that time of the week for a new sketch challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented and loviest person Jen Timko.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

I saw those circles and thought the Lighter Than Air Suite would work really well for my card. The balloons have been created with images fussy cut from the Lighter Than Air DSP. I then added diecuts cut with the Hot Air Balloon Dies. The sentiment is from the Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set. I added some little bird images from a set in my retired stash as I wanted to fill the space on the card.

The background was created with a piece of cardstock that I hand cut to resemble cloud shapes. I then took a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink to create the look of clouds.

Here’s my card:

The team have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.
