Just Add Ink #760...Colour!

 



Good Morning friends!

Just Add Ink has a fun new colour challenge this week and Tristan has challenged us to create a project using the somewhat Christmas theme colours.

Christmas...ah, no! I for one can't even think about that yet, so l went with a birthday card using the Charming Day bundle.

Blooms are Cherry Cobbler, Foliage is Old Olive, both Stampin Blends and the card base and stamping are Crumb cake cardstock and inkpad, extra foliage is Old Olive cardstock.

Panel is a diecut from the Textured Notes dies, l love how they add that extra detail without being in your face.

To include the Gold element, l have added some Gold glimmer paper (retired) and some of the sweet Brushed Brass Butterflies...technically not gold by name, but they look like it.



Lots of lovely design team projects for this one, so click the link if you haven't already stopped by the challenge blog.

Colour INKspiration #191




Evening friends!

It is Colour INKspiration challenge time and this week Nicole has given us these gorgeous bright colours to create with.

I was a little short on crafting time this past week, so kept my project sweet and simple, creating a notecard using the Perfectly Pears bundle and Glass & Garden embossing folder.

Pear is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green and l have used a blender pen to soften it all off...Same for the leaves.
I also added a tiny bit of Crumb cake using my Stampin up! marker for the stem & dot stamp.
Flowers were stamped in Berry Burst and coloured with a blender pen and Berry Burst inkpad, with Blackberry Bliss centers.
These were all popped up onto a notecard base, embossed with the Glass & garden folder and a diecut in Berry Burst.
To finish off l have added some retired 23/25 In Col dots and a Crumb cake notecard envelope decorated with some really old & retired dsp from the 17/19 In Col dsp stack.

Just Add Ink #758...Sketch!

 




It's Friday! and that means a fun new challenge over at Just Add Ink  and for this one Kim has given us a lovely simple sketch to create with.

I LOVE a good sketch challenge, makes it so simple to get started and as l've been wanting to have another play with the gorgeous Extraordinary Flora Washi tape, l decided it was perfect for this one.
I had all of the little floral & foliage pieces already cut from my first play with this product, so it was a win not needing to do those bits.

I love the new corrugated embossing folder, but have yet to purchase, so using my very old and unloved crimper, l created the background panel....and YEP! it's crooked, probably why it was so unloved.

I popped the panel onto Crumb Cake base and added a banner in that as well. Once l lay out the floral & foliage bits the way l liked, l popped those up on dimensionals, added a twisted gold thread bow and punched label banner for the sentiment, finishing off with some Muted Palette Dots.
