Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge at Just Add Ink for you to play along with. This week is a sketch challenge. Take a look at our fab sketch:

I love getting new goodies to play with. I looked at this sketch and decided the clouds from the Adventurous Sky Bundle. After stamping the clouds, giving them some colour and fussy cutting them out, I stamped some planes and gave them the same treatment. The background has been shaded with Pool Party Ink and a Blending Brush.

The team have created awesome creations using the sketch. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by,.

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday here in Australia, so that means a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge is

Stampin’ Up! DSPs are not only for using in the background, they also have pretty images ready to be fussy cut and placed on your projects.

The bird images I’ve fussy cut are from the Flight and Airy DSP. I inked up some leaves from the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set and cut them out. I then took the script background stamp and stamped it randomly in the background. Over this, I took a blending brush and Balmy Blue Ink and shaded over the stamped area.

Because I had a die cut leaf from the Gorgeously Made Dies, I added this also. Nothing like having a full background to my card.

The team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects, so make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

This weeks challenge at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge. Take a look at the fab sketch we have for you to play along with:

I’ve created a grungy leafy card made with the Noters of Nature Stamp Set and Notes of Nature Dies. I love the combination of background stamps and leaves this set has. I’ve added in some die cut leaves made with the Notes of Nature Dies to the side of the sketch as well as a sentiment and twine. The strip of DSP I took inspiration from for the colour scheme on my card is called Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper.

The team have created awesome cards with this sketch, make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to our first challenge for 2024 at Just Add Ink. As always, our first challenge is a blog hop. Make sure you go for a tour and see the gorgeous creations the Just Add Ink Design Team have created.

Our challenge for you is to:

This challenge is right up my alley. Just Add Flowers? Yes pls!

I sat down at my desk and took out the Stippled Rose Stamp Set. I am loving the artwork in these roses and gave them colour with my Fresh Freesia Blends. The leaves were coloured with a combination of Mint Macaron Blends and a green Watercolor Pencil – I forgot what colour it is though…

I embossed three squares of Basic White Cardstock with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder and added a strip of ribbon to the one on the top right.

The next hop along the way is my very crafty friend Ann Alexander. Click here or on the badge below to take you to her blog and to continue the hop.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I have filled my card with pink and purple pansies. These pansy images are from the Pansy Patch Stamp Set. The leaves were cut with Basic White Cardstock and Textured Floral Dies. After choosing the colours for my pansies, I then chose the remainder of my card colours to match them.

I shaded the background behind the pansies with a Blending Brush and an mask from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks.

The sentiment I added is actually one solid sentiment, but I decided to trim it in half to and layer it in two places over the flowers.

I added some coloured Linen Thread and added a bow on the side of the card. I also had diecut book edge that I had sitting on my desk, so this was added to the card.

The team have created wonderful cards using this weeks sketch, so head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

It’s Friday here in Australia, so that means we have a new challenge over at Just Add Ink for you to play along with.

I really wanted to use these pretty paper from the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper pack. This paper was the starting point to my card. From there I decided to keep my card with a mostly blue colour scheme. I added tinges of Smoky Slate Ink in the leaves I’ve stamped and tucked under the daisies. Or maybe they’re a new breed of flowers as I don’t think there are any blue daisies…

These blue flowers are from the Delightful Daisies Stamp Set. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento Ink and coloured the petals with my blue blends. I took the Dark Smoky Slate Blend and added colour to the centre of the flowers.

I shaded the background beneath the flowers with a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue Ink. I then added some die cut leaves. These leaves are from the Textured Floral Dies.

As always, the team at Just Add Ink have created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to the challenge and check out their creations.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

There’s a new challenge to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This week the challenge is to:

I’ve created a card with leaf inlays. The die set I’ve used for the leaves is called Aspen Dies. I used two of the dies to cut the die cuts out of my Basic White Cardstock. I then took a Blending Brushy and Balmy Blue Ink and added shading around the holes left from the dies. To add a little more interest to the cardstock, I flicked ink from a Dark Smoky Slate Blend over the shading.

I love a black and white DSP strip down the edge of cards. This DSP is from the Zoo Crew DSP pack. To this i added a thin strip of Crumb Cake Cardstock. Both of these were added to the decorated/diecut Cardstock. I then added dimensionals to this cardstock and adhered it to my card base. I then adhered the original leafy diecuts back in place but adhered them directly to the base card – while all the rest was raised.

I then sent about colouring this lil fatty bird with my Crumb Cake Blends. He is from the Perched in a Tree Stamp Set. The leaves I added behind him have been watercoloured on to Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper. I actually had these sitting from another project and instead of heaving them in the bin, I kept them for a project just like this one!

Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what the team have created.

Thanks for stopping by.

For this challenge I searched for the biggest sentiment I have in my craft room. The dies I’ve used are called the Love For You Dies. I’ve paired them with flowers and leaves from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set. The pretty DSP I’ve added to my card is from the Abigail Rose DSP pack.

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.
