Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink has been exactly that for me – a challenge. Mainly because I wanted to try something different for me and once I had the idea of doing it, I HAD to follow through until I was finished. Not 100% sure it’s a favourite of mine, but it will do.

I started searching around Pinterest for a card with a surprise detail and came across this really cool video by Laura Volpes.

My idea for my card was born.

I added flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set that have been coloured with Petal Pink and Real Red Blends. The leaves were coloured with both of my Granny Apple Green Blends and fussy cut out.

For the surprise feature, I added a stamped sentiment and flowers from the same stamp set and quickly coloured the flowers in with the Petal Pink Blends.

A die cut sentiment from the Love For You Dies was cut with Basic Black and Basic White Cardstock and added to the top flower because I love details and a certain fullness to my cards.

You can see more of the detail of the flowers and sentiment when the panel is lifted higher. I also took the Light Basic Black Blend and flicked ink across the cardstock as I feel it needed more. I couldn’t stop there – I had to add pearls, a ribbon for the pull tab that has been tied together with a Linen Thread Bow.

Make sure you visit Just Add Ink and check out what the team have created, Their projects are amazing.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
