Global Design Project #358

Hey Everyone

It’s a cold Sunday here in Australia so I’ve found a challenge to join in with instead of cleaning..cleaning can wait until tomorrow. The challenge at Global Design Project this week is a fab sketch challenge.

The card I’ve created feature flowers and leaves from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. To recreate the circles under the sentiment, I took two circle dies, a journalling pen and traced around the inside of the two different sized dies. The background cardstock was then given flicks of ink by flicking the nib of my Light Basic Black Blend against the lid of the blend.

I added a strip of striped DSP from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper. I keep every off cut as they come in handy for adding strips for layering. I tore a piece of Basic Black Cardstock and added this also.

I then stamped up the flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and watercoloured them with Basic Gray Ink. The centre of the flowers were coloured with the Daffodil Delight Blends. The leaves were watercoloured with Mossy Meadow Ink. All Images were then fussy cut out and adhered with Dimensionals.

To finish of the card I added a sentiment from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and three black Matt Dots.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

Happy Friday! The card I’m sharing today is for this weeks colour challenge at Just Add Ink. Take a look at the challenge colours:

I am ashamed to say that I have never purchased a pack of Pacific Point Cardstock…. The ink I had, had never even been opened…. It’s just a colour I have barely ever reached for except for this challenge…. But I have to say, I actually really love the colour and will make sure I don’t neglect it ever again!

I’ve created a worn and torn edged flowery card with a vintage-y vibe. The challenge colours have been featured in the flowers and leaves as well as carrying over to the cardstock.

The flowers, from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set, have been lightly watercoloured in Pacific Point and Crumb Cake Inks. The leaves were lightly watercoloured with Old Olive Ink. Both flower images and leaves were fussy cut out. The sentiment is also from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. I’ve used a circle die to cut this sentiment out.

The cardstock behind my flowers has been embossed with the Bricks and Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I then took a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake Ink and blended the bricks with ink.

Under this embossed piece, I took a piece of Pacific Point Cardstock and tore the edge on one side to add to the vintage theme.

Some ribbon finished off my card. I cut a piece of Natural Finish Ribbon in half and gathered it on the right side of the card, adhering it with Glue Dots.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome cards using this weeks colours. Make sure you head over to challenge and check out their inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday already. I can’t believe how quickly the weekends comes around! The challenge at Just Add Ink this week is a colour challenge. Take a look at the colours we have for you to play along with:

Amongst my new goodies, I ordered the Artistic Decorative Masks. I wanted to create a different background than what I normally do. I took the mask, a Blending Brush and Fresh Freesia Ink. The colour went down really easy and i shaded the cardstock randomly. I was really happy with the result.

I then stamped up the large flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and watercoloured them with Starry Sky Ink and the small flowers with Fresh Freesia Ink. The leaves have been coloured with the Mint Macaron Blends. I fussy cut out all of the images and placed them around my card.

The sentiment I’ve used is also from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. I stamped the sentiment in Black Memento Ink and die cut the sentiment out with a label die from the Natural Prints Dies. All of my images and layers have been raised with Dimensionals. Three Basic Pearls finished off my card.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome creations and all of them so varied. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I find I craft more in Winter and when I have new products to play with. The weather was cold enough to keep me inside all weekend!

I found that challenge at Global Design Project is a themed challenge that I wanted to play along with. Here’s their inspiration pic:

I find circles the easiest to work with. I cut heaps of Basic White Cardstock circles and embossed them with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. To add a little interest to the background, I took my Blending Brush and Daffodil Delight Ink and roughly shaded the Basic White Cardstock. I then layered the embossed circles on the background with Dimensionals.

The strip of striped DSP is from the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper Pack. The flowers and leaves are also from the DSP. I fussy cut them out and coloured them with my Daffodil Delight Blends and Soft Sea Foam Blends.

I looked for a stamp set that had just the right sentiment as I wanted it to fit in a circle also. This sentiment is from the Cottage Rose Sentiment. Love the way these different fonts work together.

To finish off the card I added a Gold and Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon bow. This ribbon is just divine!

Thanks for stopping by.
