Just Add Ink #764...Choose Two!





Happy Friday friends!

Over at Just Add Ink we have a fun Choose Two challenge! I love these, as there are so many options & combinations you can create.

I decided on my pretty new Painterly Pears dsp and Pearls as my two elements. This paper is absolutely gorgeous both sides.
I started with a base of Secret Sea cardstock, then a layer of petal Pink to match the pretty flowers in the top layer of dsp.
I then die cut one of the smaller arches from the Arched Wishes dies and die cut one of the pears from the dsp, love that the coordination of dies & images makes it way easier than fussy cutting. 
Although there was a little bit of that for the sweet floral elements.

These were all popped up on top of the arch, with a linen thread bow & sentiment from the stamp set...That definitely covered the DSP element and to finish off, l have added my second element choice of Basic Pearls to the flower centers.



Lots of fun Choose Two projects from the design team, so click the link if you want a peek at those.

Colour INKspiration...#193

 




Evening all!

It's time for a new Colour INKspiration challenge and for this one Vicki has given us this lovely  calming pastel combination to create with.

I decided to get inky with this one and used a combination of inkpads & Stampin write markers to ink up sections of my acrylic block, misted it with water and pressed firmly onto the card panel.
The floral image is from the Mixed Florals stamp set and the greeting is from Sweet Blooms.
To finish off l have added some of the pretty Purple Fine Shimmer gems.

Another new product is the Notes & Totes dies and l've used those to create a sweet little gift tote that coordinates.
It's a combination of the 25/27 In Colour DSP stack and Perenial Lavender DSP. Cardstock is Balmy Blue.
Little details are Silver foil and a Purple Fine Shimmer gem.

Just Add Ink #762...Inspiration!

Happy Friday friends!

This weeks Just Add Ink challenge is an inspiration from Kim. She wanted us to create our project using the pic and its elements for inspiration.

I decided on my new Stampin Up! Sunflower embossing folder, as l was inspired by the pumpkin and thought it would translate well with a water coloured sunflower.

I swiped my Crumb cake inkpad on one side of the folder, popped a piece of basic white cardstock in and ran it through my big shot. This gave the debossed area some soft colour and then using water colour pencils and blender pen, l added colour to the sunflower & foliage to create a spotlight effect.

To add some timber effect, l pulled out some Cork specialty paper for the first panel and popped the embossed layer on top with some Linen thread & Adhesive Swirl dots to finish off.

Tag sentiment is from the Charming Day stamps on a Notes & Totes mini tag die cut.
