Hey Everyone

Time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. The challenge this week is a sketch challenge. Take a look at the sketch we have for you:

The card I’ve created features a brick embossed background (created with the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder) and flowers fussy cut from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper pack. This pack has gorgeous papers in it that are ready for your paper snips.

The team have created wonderful cards that will no double inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

The challenge at Global Design Project this week is a CASE challenge. The card we’ve been given to CASE is this gorgeous one from Charlet Mallett.

I am loving the the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. The flowers in this pack are just gorgeous and perfect for those who love to fussy cut. As much as I love colouring, I also love that these flowers are can be just trimmed and placed on any project. The leaves are also from the same piece of DSP. The tiny little flowers, also cut from the DSP, have also been fussy cut and adhered down with tombow.

The background on my card has been given colour with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink and Night of Navy Ink. I started blending with Balmy Blue and then came in from the edges with Night of Navy. I then took my light Night of Navy Blend and flicked the nib against the lid to create the ink splatters. The Basic Rhinestones were also coloured with the light Night of Navy Blend to match the blue theme on my card.

The sentiment was heat embossed on Basic Black Cardstock and trimmed down and layered across the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey everyone

Note: when you schedule your post, make sure you press schedule….this post was for last week….

We have a new sketch for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week the amazingly talented Karren Johnson has given us this fab sketch to create with:

Getting new stamping products always makes me smile. These gorgeous flowers are fussy cut from a new pack of DSP that I’ve purchased. It’s called Hues of Happiness and has a wonderful assortment of images and colours. The leaves are also cut from the same papers.

To create the background under my flowers, I took a Blending Brush and some So Saffron Ink. I shaded the background down the middle of the Whisper White Cardstock. I then took the script stamp from Very Versailles Stamp Set and some Basic Gray Ink and stamped this script stamp twice to cover the cardstock.

I then added three Iridescent Basic Rhinestones and a ribbon bow that I added under my sentiment. The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Cardstock.

Because I made this card for my mum, I roughed up the edges of the card as she is a lover of vintage. Tis probs a tad too many raw edges for a clean challenge, but just image clean edges and it will fit the brief!

Thanks for stopping by.
