Just Add Ink #288....Sketch!

This weeks  Just Add Ink challenge is this fabulous sketch from Narelle. Instead of stars, l used the lovely "Festive Flower" builder punch to make a somewhat large Poinsettia and love the way this project came together. It's always a bonus when you can translate from mental image to reality and it actually works..:0)

Don't forget to stop by the challenge blog for heaps of lovely inspiration from the design team.

Just Add Ink #287.....Inspiration!

Hey there! It's that time again over at Just Add Ink  and this week Jodene has given us some lovely, colourful inspiration to play with.

It's rather obvious what inspired me and that was the leaves and the lovely yellow and orange tones. As for my last post, l used the "Lighthearted Leaves" set again. I embossed in white e/p and coloured using my markers and blender pen in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive. I also used my Blendies to colour the rhinestones to match.

The design team have used the inspiration to create some gorgeous projects, so don't forget to pop by the challenge blog for that lovely inspiration.

Just Add Ink #285...Colour!

Can you believe it's only 2 months until Christmas.....Thinking l'm in denial, it's just too soon!

Our challenge over at Just Add Ink  this week is some very on trend colours.  I'm loving all of  the gorgeous home decor, stationary and papercraft products around that incorporate these colours and deer/stag heads. So many of them just keep following me home..:0)

I recently bought a beautiful journal with a similar image to my card and it just so happened to have a few of these pretty colours on it....Hence my inspiration was born!

Just Add Ink #284...Fancy Folds!

It's that time of the week again and this week over at Just Add Ink, Di would like us to "Just Add a Fancy Fold"...

As l'm still plodding along with my Christmas prep, l decided to go with another "Wonderland" creation.

It's pretty simple as far as fancy folds go, but it needed to be post friendly and this fits in a standard envelope...So it was a win for me.

I started with a standard half A4 card base in Basic Black.

Scored on the 8-1/4" side @ 2-1/8"  3-1/8"  5-1/8" & 6-1/8"

Basic Black panel is 4-1/8" x 4-1/8"

Whisper White panel is 3-7/8" x 3-7/8"

Winter Wonderland DSP panels 1-3/4" X 5-1/2" x 2

Basic Black Circle 3-1/4"

Whisper White Circle 2-3/4"
