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.

Freshly Made Sketches #552

Hey Everyone

Ready for a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches? I am. Our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented cardmaker and legendary walker Jennifer Brum.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

The card I’ve created features leafy images from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set and texture made with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. The fabulous green cardstock has been carried over to the leaves that have been coloured with the Parakeet Party Blends.

I’ve paired the Parakeet Party Cardstock with Gray Granite DSP (from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack) and Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. The sentiment that has been circle punched is also from the Nature’s Print Stamp Set.

Three Champagne Rhinestones were added to create balance with the offset sentiment and cardstock strips.

The Clean Team have created awesome cards. Make sure you pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
