Just Add Ink #689

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday here in Australia and time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is a colour challenge.

I love colour challenges as they test me to try new colour combinations. This was one of those challenges. I tossed up a few stamp sets and ended up going with the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set as I liked the idea of leaves in Gorgeous Grape and Tahitian Tide Inks.

To add further detail to my card, I used a Artistic Mix Decorative Mask, a Blending Brush and some Gorgeous Grape Ink and shaded the background.

The girls at Just Add Ink have created awesome inspiration. Make sure yo head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Just Add Ink #648

Hey Everyone

The newest challenge at Just Add Ink is the following:

I have to tell you, I sooked about this challenge as I had no idea what to do with 2 out of 3 of the things that were chosen for us. After I got over myself, I decided to go with all 3!

I have created a watery background alongside a brick wall. Kind of what you see in Greece. I then added a fernery type cluster of leaves amongst my sentiment.

The team have created wonderful cards that will no doubt inspire you. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Freshly Made Sketches #581

Hey everyone

There’s a new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for you to play along with. This week our sketch hostess is the wonderfully talented Cecile Ribon.

I was going to find a heart die to create the same shape as the sketch, but instead reached for the Chic Dies and created a similar shape with Basic White Cardstock . For the background of the card, I took my Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and shaded the background with Coastal Cabana Ink. I then took my Dark Bermuda Bay Blend and flicked ink over the top.

The pansies i’ve added are from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. I’ve stamped them up with a combination of Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Inks. For the centre of the yellow flowers, I’ve added Highland Heather Ink highlights. For the purple flowers, I stamped them with a combination of Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape Inks. For the centre of these flowers, I added Mango Melody Ink highlights.

For the leaves in the background, I stamped up the fern fronds stamp from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set. These have been inked up with Coastal Cabana Ink.

The team have all created awesome cards with Cecile’s sketch. Make sure you head over to Freshly Made Sketches and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project #342

Hey Everyone

There’s a sketch challenge at Global Design Project that I wanted to play along with, so I whipped around the house and kind of cleaned and headed out to my craft room.

I have never been one to reach for Night Of Navy when creating a card. But as soon as I saw the gorgeous Sun Prints DSP, I knew I had to have this DSP.

The Nature’s Prints Stamp Set and Natural Prints Dies features on my card. The leafy image I’ve stamped twice and fussy cut has been watercoloured with Night Of Navy Ink. I’ve probs never seen leaves this colour but I wanted them to match my DSP. I added two Whisper White Cardstock die cuts to the layers and a stamped sentiment from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set. This sentiment was then die cut with a die from the Natural Prints Dies.

Here’s my card:

Thanks for stopping by.
