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.

Cheers
