Just Add Ink #495...Rainbow!

Good Morning!

We have a brand new Just Add Ink challenge happening today and this week Rochelle has challenged us to add "Rainbows" to our projects.

As you can see it doesn't have to be literally a rainbow as such. I have gone with a rainbow of Balloons, created by die cutting with the "Lion Head" die from "Bonanza Buddies" on window sheet to create a stencil and sponged the colour over that, directly onto the cardstock to create each balloon...then speckling with water to create the dots...Lots of fun and l love being able to stretch my supplies in alternate ways.

I then used the bow image to add the strings and some strips of the Golden Honey SAB dsp and some sequins to finish off. 

The sentiments are from the Happy Birthday To You, SAB stamp set and Label Me Bold.

My colours are  Gorgeous Grape-Bermuda Bay-Granny Apple Green-Mango melody-Flirty Flamingo.

Lots of fun and colourful creations from the rest of the design team over on the challenge blog, so make sure you pop over for a peek!

Just Add Ink #493...Choose Two!

Good Morning!

This weeks Just Add Ink challenge from Patrice, is all about choice! We get to choose 2 of the options above to add to our projects...I love these challenges, always fun trying to decide!

I have chosen the super cute and pretty "All Dressed Up" bundle which gives me instant stitching and buttons, plus those very dainty blooms and images to colour.
The cardstock is non SU from my stash and it worked beautifully colourwise with some retired Cucumber Crush dsp and Lovely Lipstick blends...My aim this year is to use up my abundance of cardstocks and dsps that l've had for ages and are no longer current or not SU....Need to make room for "New".

The card inspiration came from one that Stampin Ups! CEO Shelly Gardner created...The fold had me intrigued, so after a few failed attempts, l finally got the sizing l was happy with.

The rest of the design team have created some great "Choose Two" projects, so make sure you stop by the challenge blog and have a look.

Its Friday...Yay!

Today the Just Add Ink team are playing with some pretty beach inspiration. Pinks-Palm Trees & sunshine, whats not to love!

Using the Timeless Tropical bundle and dsp with the sweet flower & large leaf from Tropical Chic this is what l came up with.
I decided to pull out my sparkly embossing paste and smeared a thin layer at random on the bottom half to replicate the sand. It adds such a lovely sparkle and l forgot how fun it is to use.

My go to colours were Pretty Peacock-Kraft-Petal pink and Pink Pirouette, using my Old Olive & Soft Suede markers for the palm trees.

Stamp Review Crew...Forever Blossoms!

Happy Monday Friends!

Today over at Stamp Review crew we are hopping once again and for this one we are showcasing the lovely "Forever Blossoms" stamp set.

Stamp Review Crew is an international design team, from many parts of the globe. We all have a common interest in Stampin Up and the fabulous products they create.

If you are happily hopping you would have arrived here from my lovely and talented friend Lou Kitzelman from Australia and her gorgeous project.

Using the technique of no line colouring (sort of) I have used Basic Grey for the lineart and Perfect Peacock-Gold foil as my base and coloured the large floral image using Stampin Blends in Old Olive & Daffodil Delight.

Now you are off to be inspired by the creative talent of Cindy Elam, I'm sure she has something fabulous to share!
