Just Add Ink #791...Christmas in July!

 

HO-Ho-Ho, Happy Friday all!

Our Just Add Ink challenge this week is from Kim and her theme was "Christmas in July".

This one was definitely a challenge, as don't have a lot of current Stampin Up! Christmas product being mid year. But l do have a lot of retired stuff...So that's were l looked.

The cardbase is Cherry Cobbler, with a panel of the "Season of Elegance" dsp (retired or almost so) I love the gold foil on this paper.

I wanted to keep it simple with this dsp and a single flower appealed, so l have used 2 of the flower diecuts and the leaves from the Heirloom Boutique dies, shaded with Real Red & Old Olive inks and blender brushes and added a gold foil center to tie in with the gold on the paper. Sentiment is from a retired Christmas set embossed in Gold E/P on Cherry cobbler.

It was super quick to make and l have to say l think it looks pretty decent!

Just Add Ink #790...Stencils & Dies!

 

Happy Friday all!

Over at Just Add Ink we have a Dies & Stencils challenge this week. 

I don't actually have a lot of current stencils/masks, so decided to create my own using one of the Arched Wishes dies and some copy paper...could not for the life of me find my masking paper...No doubt it will show up now l don't need it!

Cardbase is Cloud Cover as is the inked arch, applied with a blending brush. Flowers are my Die element using the Velvet Meadow designer series paper and the Flowering Meadow dies.

Foliage is Peaceful Pines cardstock and Gems are from the Moody Palette glossy dots, not 100% on their colours, but they worked.

Sentiment is also from the Flowering Meadow stamps and a little double Gold thread bow to finish!

Lots of lovely design team projects, so don't forget to click the link for a peek at those.

Just Add Ink #789...Sketch!

 

It's Friday and that means a new Just Add Ink challenge is happening. For this one Tristan has given us a fun sketch to create with.

I've gone very simple, letting the panel from the Lovely Blossoms dsp do the work, with a simple Thanks greeting from the Flowering Meadow stamp set. Popped up on 2 diecuts from the Words of Beauty dies in Night of Navy & Basic White and finished off with a gold thread bow and some Dewdrops Embellishments.

It was quick and fun to create and used a little of my ever expanding dsp stash.
