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

Welcome to the newest sketch challenge we have for you to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches. This week our sketch designer is the wonderfully talented Judy Rozema

I have flipped Judy’s sketch to fit the dino theme i created. I have come up with this card for a special great niece whose 3rd birthday is coming up as she is addicted to dinosaurs at the moment. I have coloured up images from the Darling Dinos Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! and added some trees from a retired set that I can’t quite remember the name of atm… Hope she likes it as I had fun creating it for her.

The team have created wonderful cards that will inspire you. Make sure you head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Hey Everyone

Welcome to Friday and the newest challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is a colour challenge. Take a look at the pretty colour combo we have for you to play along with:

Of course I went with flowers as they were the easy choice. A I couldn’t use green, I kept the leaves white. These leaves were diecut with leaf dies from the A Charming Dies. The flower images were stamped from the Gallery Blooms Stamp Set and coloured with all three challenge colours and fussy cut out. I layered them amongst the leaves and added a sentiment. To add some texture, I embossed some rectangle pieces of cardstock and raised them up on Dimensionals.

The team have created wonderful cards to inspire you. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they team have come up with.

Freshly Made Sketches #700

Posted on by

Welcome to our 700th sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!!!!!!! How exciting is that? I played along with the very first challenge at Freshly Made Sketches and I was lucky enough to be chosen to be on the design team from the 76th challenge. Unfortunately my blog when awol for that time, so I can’t find my original post to link to…. But here is a photo of that card I made for my first DT assignment – which btw, I am not loving in 2025… Do you all look back and cards from years ago and say “yeah, nah – I’m not a fan of it anymore?”

The Design Team have decided to re-create cards for this weeks challenge from the very first sketech challenge at FMS. Take a look at the sketch and the card I created for it below.

The Charming Day Stamp Set and Dies got a work out for this card with the background Elements of Text and Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder.

The design team have created wonderful cards for this weeks challenge. We hope you can join us in our 700th sketch challenge!

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.

Thanks for stopping by.
