Just Add Ink #771

Hey Everyone

Thanks for joining us here at Just Add Ink! We’re so excited to share with you the first challenge of our new format and hope you’ll embrace the changes and have a ton of fun creating.

For challenge #771 we have expanded our regular Choose Two to now be Choose Two or More! You can use as many of the listed options as you like to feature on your projects, as long as it’s at least two, and don’t forget to tell us in your post which ones you chose. You’ll also have more time to create as we’ve moved from a weekly to bi-weekly (every two weeks) challenge!

I’ve chosen Plants, Pretties and Plaid for my Two or More for this challenge. The images I’ve stamped, watercoloured and fussy cut are from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set. I then added some diecut leaves from the Charming Day Dies for a dramatic effect under the images as I felt them lacking just by themselves against the DSP.

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

Thanks for stopping by

Hey Everyone

There is a new challenge to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

I chose the following two elements from the challenge – patterned paper and pearls. If the DSP pack I chose had’ve had pastel colours in it, I would’ve added all three elements from the challenge.

The cute lil dinosaur images I’ve added to my card are from the Darling Dinosaurs Stamp Set. I’ve coloured them mostly with the Smoky Slate Blends with a touch of Garden Green to match the DSP in the background. I added some coloured rock images and a palm tree cut with the reitred Beach Day Dies.

The team have created awesome cards for this weeks challenge. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

We have a new challenge for you over at Just Add Ink. This week is an inspiration picture challenge. Take a look at the challenge we have for you to play along with:

I initially thought I’d go with coffee images, but changed it up and decided to take the colours from the inspiration pic and add them to my card.

I kept my tones very earthy. I’ve used a mixture of DSP from the Country Lace and Country Woods DSP packs. I then added some background script stamping, from the Elements of Text Stamp Set and added some shading with Crumb Cake Ink to this.

The flowers I’ve used are from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set. I love the size of this image as it fills up a card so easily. I added some retired Natural Wavy Trim and pulled it apart to create a messiness to it.

The team at Just Add Ink have all created awesome projects. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink to check them out.

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 the sketch we have for you to play along with:

I can’t lie. I love me a flower stamp set to colour and fussy cut. I’ve given colour to the flowers from the A Charming Day Stamp Set and fussy cu them out. I had some leaves that were die cut with the Thankful Garden Dies sitting on my desk, so they got added to the flower images. The flowers were coloured with Lemon Lolly, Darling Duckling, Old Olive and the Light Basic Gray Blends. I added Darling Duckling Cardstock to thie layers and find it’s a colour that I will really love. It might even replace Wild Wheat as my favourite!

The team have created wonderful cards that will inspire you. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what the team have created.

Hey Everyone

We have a fabulous challenge for you to play along with at Just Add Ink. It’s one that I don’t do often, that is to Just Add a Belly Band.

I think of belly bands for gift type boxes and fancy fold cards. I created a simple card that meets in the middle so I could add a belly band to hold closed. I also like to tizzy them up to make them fancy and always thinkj of a wedding card as you can’t get fancier than a wedding card.

I used the flower images from the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set for the front of the belly band because it’s a large image and fits across the centre of the band. I then added leafy diecuts and some Gold Open Weave Trim as I feel it adds to the elegance.

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

Hey Everyone

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

Lucky I have the Classic Wedding Stamp Set as I thought it matched the inspo pic perfectly! I chose a colour scheme that also matched the colours in the pic. I couldn’t help but held a bouquet of roses made with the dies from the Classic Wedding Dies to give it more of a wedding card feel.

The team have created awesome projects using the pic. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what the team have created.

Hey Everyone

This week at Just Add Ink, our challenge for you is to:

I chose to add a couple of swirls to my card. The background cardstock has been embossed with the So Swirly Embossing folder. I didn’t stop there with the swirls, I added an icecream that was created using the Ice Cream Swirl Stamp Set. I was on fire with the swirls!

I couldn’t leave the ice cream naked so i added some strawberry images, some wafer sticks and some sequins to act like sprinkles. I reckon it looks good enough to eat!

The team have created awesome and varied projects using this weeks challenge. Make sure yyou head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

There’s a fun new challenge over at Just Add Ink for you to play along with. Take a look at our challenge for you:

I chose Rainbows and Flowers for this challenge. I created a background in rainbow colours made with the Painted Stripes Stamp. This stamp is a background stamp and it worked perfectly for adding my rainbow of colours.

The flowers part of the challenge are from the Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set. I coloured them in colourful detail to match the colourful background. To tone down all of these coloiurs, I added Basic White Cardstock leaves made with the leafy die from the Thankful Garden Dies.
