Just Add Ink #441...Inspiration!

This week over at Just Add Ink we have a super cute Inspiration challenge happening suggested by Jo.

I absolutely loved the colours in this one, so decided to ink up and diecut some of the sweet Tea Together and Tea Time Framelits both currently available from Stampin Up! And the best part is, if you purchase $180 in products, you can get the framelits for free...Definitely a win, win! Who doesn't love freebies!

My go to colours were Mint Macaron for the teapot and l used colouring pencils (non SU) to shade, then channeling my inner Magpie, l added lots of sparkly dots with gold glimmer paper.
I also used standard colouring pencils and the baby oil technique to colour the flowers, then popped them all up on an embossed base created with the lovely new embossing folder "Dot to Dot".

Thanks for stopping by!

I have teamed the "Forever Lovely" bundle with Night of Navy-Delightful Dijon (retired) and some Blueberry Bushel DSP to create a pretty card and giftbox for a number of occasions. 

I have also added a couple of the sweet wooden butterfly elements from the free SAB items.

Just Add Ink #440...Blog Hop!

Happy 2019 everyone, I hope it's a fabulous year of good health, loads of happy and much crafty goodness!

Well, it's time to kick off the Just Add Ink year! As we always do, we have team "Blog Hop" and our theme is "Something New".

This can be absolutely anything that you have acquired, but have not yet used!

With the release of the brand new Stampin Up! Occasions & Sale a Bration catalogues, l have a lovely little stash of new goodies, so deciding what to use was fun!

I have gone with the super cute, stand alone stamp set called "Flowering Desert" and combined it with some softer colours (Blushing Bride-Flirty flamingo-Mint Macaron-Old Olive & silver) to create a card with lots of prickly pretties!

I added some spiky detail to the feature cactus with a black fine liner.

My go to colours are Flirty Flamingo-Granny Apple Green-Basic Black-Whisper White & and a hint of Gold Shimmer.
