Global Design Project #372

Hey Everyone

Instead of Christmas present shopping, I played around in my craft room. Crafting is easier than thinking about what to buy people. I played along with a challenge today, the latest challenge at Global Design Project. This week is a CASE Challenge – a CASE of Kayla’s gorgeous card below:

I played around with the leaf image from the Soft Seedlings Stamp Set. The image was stamped with Cajun Craze Ink on Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. I then took my Aqua Painter and Ink and added Crushed Curry Ink around the centre of the leaves. Each leaf was then fussy cut out.

I had a leaf sitting on my desk from the Leaf Label and Amber Gem Combo. I took this leaf and squished it in my hand. I added Soft Suede Ink around the edges of this leaf and added it to my card.

The background was given some stamping and blending with Crumb Cake Ink. I then heat embossed a sentiment from the In The Moment Stamp Set on Black Cardstock.

Three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added for the warm colouring in them.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Just Add Ink #601

Hey Everyone

It’s time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week is a sketch challenge. Sketch challenges are my fav and great starting point to making any card.

The card I’ve created is a roughed up creation using the In The Moment Stamp Set combined with the lighthouse image from the soon-to-retired Sailing Home Stamp Set.

The image of the girl holding her hat has been watercoloured with Fresh Freesia Ink and Smoky Slate Ink. I also used some Crumb Cake Ink for her hair, railing and glass of wine (I think it’s wine…). The lighthouse has been watercoloured with Smoky Slate Ink and fussy cut out.

The circle image has been given a seaside scene with a Blending Brush, Pool Party and Crumb Cake Inks. The birds have been stamped from the In The Moment Stamp Set also. I had to mask off the image with a post-it to stamp them where I wanted them.

Both the DSP (from the Heart & Home DSP pack) and Basic Gray Cardstock have been roughed up, torn and adhered on the angle. As we always do, I had strips of offcut cardstock on my desk, so I created two slim banners and stapled them to the top left as I felt the card was imbalanced with the images placed more on the right side of the circles.

The sentiment that I’ve placed on the layers is also from the In the Moment Stamp Set.

The team at Just Add Ink have created wonderful inspiration for you. Head over to Just Add Ink and see what they created.

Thanks for stopping by.
