Just Add Ink #623


Hey Everyone

It’s Friday so that means a new challenge to play along with over at Just Add Ink. This week is a colour challenge week. Take a look at the colours we have for you:

I combined these colours to create a Christmas card using two stamp sets – Jingle, Jingle, Jingle and Trees for Sale Stamp Set.

The torn notebook edged cardstock was created using a die from the Blossoming Happiness Dies. I love a torn and worn edge to give my cards texture.

The team have created awesome cards with this weeks challenge colours. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Just Add Ink #615

Hey Everyone

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

I chose to create a Christmas car with gorgeous colours from the pic. I have used the Trees for Sale Stamp Set and the matching Tree Lot Dies. I couldn’t decide what images and dies to use from this bundle, so I kinda threw everyone at it!

I kept my colours as close to the pic as possible, so they were – Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and a touch of green in the wreath hanging on the caravan door.

The team at Just Add Ink have created gorgeous cards that will inspire you. Head over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

TGIF Challenges #376

Hey Everyone

Sketch challenges are my fav and my go-to as the starting point to any card. The sketch at TGIF Challenges is a fabulous one and had me reaching for my new Trees for Sale Stamp Set and matching Tree Lot Dies.

I would never have thought I’ve love a caravan die set, but I totally love these Tree Lot Dies and couldn’t wait to use them. So I managed to make them work for the sketch.

I cut the caravan in Basic White Cardstock and then another one in Basic Gray Cardstock. I cut the tire and the axel from the second diecut. I then took the dies for the top and bottom detail and cut these with some Pool Party Cardstock. The wreath was then cut with Bermuda Bay and Cherry Cobbler Cardstocks.

The trees (from the Trees for Sale Stamp Set) have been stamped with Pool Party Ink and Bermuda Bay Ink with the two step stamping images. These trees have then been cut out with the dies from the Tree Lot Dies.

I didn’t stop there. I die cut a light pole with Basic Gray Cardstock and stamped up some lights and coloured the globes with the Dark Mango Melody Blend. There’s a die to cut these out also!

The mountains in the back have been cut the Majestic Mountain Dies and I used a dauber to add some Crumb Cake Ink to the top of them. I then added a torn piece of Pool Party Cardstock across the bottom of the card.

The sentiment is from the Leaves of Holly Stamp Set. This sentiment fit my card the best and is fussy cut out.

The trees and caravan have been layered on a Basic White Cardstock circle die cut to match the sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.
