Just Add Ink #572

Hey Everyone

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

I took the pink from the flowers, green from the grass and blue from the sky for my card. The stamp set these flowers come from is called Forever & Always. The flowers have been coloured with the Lovely Lipstick Blends. I also added Light Smoky Blend touches to the centre of the flowers.

The leaves, that I have stamped in Old Olive Ink, are the from the Christmas Season Stamp Set. I like mixing stamp sets as I get more use from them. The leaves have been fussy cut out and adhered to the card base with Mini Dimensionals.

The card base was given colour with Balmy Blue Ink and a Blending Brush. I think adding a shaded background softens the base and makes the flowers stand out. A sentiment was added and three Basic Pearls to create a bling-y card. White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon is a great embellished detail to add to any card, because you can never have too many details to look at.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards using the inspiration pic. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch for you to play along with over at Freshly Made Sketches. Our sketch hostess has been designed by the incredibly talented Jacquie Southas.

Here’s this weeks fab sketch:

I chose Jacquie’s sketch to use some of this gorgeous DSP from the Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper pack. This pack is ultra pretty with elegant touches of foil throughout each of the papers – maybe that’s why it named Simply Elegant….

I added leaf die cut from the Forever Flourishing Dies. I then cut the die cut sentiment from the Always Dies and combined it with a stamped sentiment from the Forever & Always Stamp Set. I heat embossed this sentiment on Basic Black Cardstock.

To tie in the gold foil from the DSP, I punched some Gold Foil circles with various Circle Punches and rolled them into flowers. I used Tombow to adhere them to the card.

Here’s what I created:

Hey Everyone

There’s a new sketch in town at Freshly Made Sketches and this week it’s been designed by me!

I’ve kept the sketch simple but maybe not my card so much….

I love me some details and some layers and this probs shows on my card. I’ve gone with neutral colours for my flowers. The images are from the Stampin’ Up! Stamp Set called Forever and Always. I ADORE these flowers and leaves. I got my watercolouring on with this card and gave the flowers colour with Crumb Cake Ink, and for more definition, Soft Suede Ink. The leaves were given a light colour with Mint Macaron Ink. The tiny flowers were coloured with Soft Suede Ink.

The Whisper White Cardstock card base has been embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and I added some strips of Crumb Cake and Basic Black Cardstock. These have been die cut with the matching dies to the stamp set. They’re called Always Dies. This die set also cuts out the sentiment I’ve added to my card. This really is a favourite bundle. Three Metallic Pearls finished off my card.

The team at Freshly Made Sketch have created wonderful cards using my sketch. Pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week is a sketch challenge by Patrice. Take a look at the sketch:

I couldn’t help myself. I had to use the fabulous products from the Love You Always Suite. The stamp set and the matching Always Dies are my favourite! The flowers from the Forever and Always Stamp Set are perfect for colouring. I’ve given them colour with Pool Party and Bermuda Bay Blends. I gave the leaves some colour with the Smoky Slate Blends.

The leaf die that I’ve used is from the Forever Flourishing Dies. The background Whisper White Cardstock has been embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder. The stamp sentiment is from the Forever and Always Stamp Set that is paired with the diecut sentiment from the Always Dies.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful cards using the sketch. Pop over to the challenge and see what the team have created. We would love it if you could play along too!

Hey Everyone

We’re back! The Clean Team at Freshly Made Sketches are back with a new sketch challenge. Our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented Jen Mitchell.

I’ve taken these gorgeous flowers from the Forever & Always Stamp Set and quickly coloured them with a combination of Purple Posy and Highland Heather Blends. The leaves have been fussy cut from a piece of DSP from the True Love Designer Series Paper pack. The diecut sentiment that I’ve created have been cut with the Always Dies. The stamped sentiment is also from the Forever & Always Stamp Set. As everything was layered on the right side of the card, I stamped the ink splatters image from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set.

Pop over to the challenge and see what wonderful inspiration the team have provided for you.

Thanks for stopping by.
