Just Add Ink #335...Sketch!

Can you believe how quick Christmas is approaching...Eeek! Time to get some Christmas projects sorted and this weeks Just Add Ink sketch challenge from Tina was the perfect time to crack open the lovely "Merriest Wishes" bundle and start creating.

This weeks challenge will run for 2 weeks due to most of the design team attending "On Stage" in Brisbane.

Clean and simple is what l'm all about for Christmas this year and l just adore these colours together.

The design team have used the sketch in so many wonderful and inspiring ways, be sure to pop over and have a peek!

Whilst l created the card sticking close to the sketch, l wanted to step it up a notch using the "Pretty Pines" thinlits and now l cant decided which l prefer..:0) 

It actually looks like 2 different cards due to the lighting when photographing, but i really did just add bits to the first one..:0)

Christmas Elves & Copics!

Hey there!...Thought l would pop in and share a cute copic card l made recently. It's been forever since l pulled out my copics and had a play and l must say l'm just a tad rusty, but l got there in the end..:0)

The lovely and "Oh so talented" Jodene Tripp kindly sent me some of these cuties from MFT to colour way back in 2015...Yep, l'm a bit slow, lol.

I really enjoyed having a play and although my copic collection is limited (need to work on that) l managed to mix a few to get the colours l wanted.

With Melbourne's weather being so utterly miserable today, l might just pull out the copics, make a cuppa, get comfy and play some more..:0)

Some of the images got a very liberal coating of clear Wink of Stella, this stuff is so pretty and addictive!

The sentiments are from the "Tin of Tags" stamp set and the background was created using the "Seasonal Decorative Masks" Both from the current Stampin Up holiday catalogue.

Happy Friday to you!....We have a brand new challenge happening over at Just Add Ink and this week  Di has provided some great inspiration for us to work with.

Originally l had planned my focus on the big '&" but after some procrastination l went with the numbers on the t-shirt and the banner...Pretty self explanatory really..:0)

The colours l used are Real Red & Tempting Turquoise teamed with the numbers from the "Number of Years" bundle.

The rest of the design team have created some fun and fabulous projects, so don't forget to stop by the challenge blog and check them out.

Just Add Ink #333...Add "G"

This week over at Just Add Ink   Tina has challenged us to "Just Add G" to our projects. I'm really enjoying these letter challenges, as they have so many options and are lots of fun to create with.

My "G" elements are gold glimmer paper, gold embossing and a pretty star galaxy! These are all elements from the "Star of Light" stamp set in the current Stampin Up holiday catalogue.

The base star is Mint Maccaron..my current fave and go to colour for all things..:0)

It was really hard to capture just how pretty and sparkly this is and the mint looks way more green than it actually is...:0(

Don't forget to stop by the challenge blog and checkout the awesome "G" ideas from the rest of the design team!

Just Add Ink #332...Colour!

It's time to share this weeks Just Add Ink challenge!  Patrice has given us a lovely bold palette to play with and l put to use with the "Botanical Blooms" bundle!

I decided less was more with these colours and used a crisp white base so the colours would really pop!

The rest of the design team have combined them to create some fabulous projects, so don't forget to stop by and check those out.

Just Add Ink #331..."Just Add Wings"

We have a brand new challenge happening over at Just Add Ink. We want you to "Just Add Wings"...Now that gives you plenty of scope if you want to join us.

I decided to sidestep the obvious butterflies, birds, bugs and angels, these being the first winged things to enter my head and went with the plane from the retired SAB set called "Sky is the Limit" just for something different, that and l needed more birthday cards for the guy's!

Lot's of winged things to inspire from the design team, so be sure to pop over and take a look at those.

Stamp Review Crew...Host Set..Bonus Hop!

Over at Stamp Review Crew this week, we are showcasing the "Hostess" sets for this year.  I found it really difficult to choose just one set, as l love them all.

But l finally settled on the "Gift of Love" set as l find it really versatile in that you can just use the two step stamping or the line images as l have done and watercolour them.

My colours are Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Whisper White and Old Olive with a hint of gold in the flower centres and some Gold Wink of Stella speckles

You may have just arrived from the fab blog of Dawn Tidd and her lovely hostess set projects or if you have just landed here and would like to start at the top you can click on the Stamp Review Crew banner above or to continue on your way hit the next banner below!

For the inside l have used the two step technique which is simple and makes creating super fast!

Next on the hop is Heidi Baks I'm sure she will have something fabulous to share!

Just Add Ink #330...Sketch!

Happy Friday to you!...We have a brand new challenge happening over at Just Add Ink. Kim has given us a lovely sketch to create with.

I've been wanting to crack open my "Touches of Texture" stamp set and it was perfect timing for this challenge as l think the elements work well with the sketch layers.

I also added a couple of the Swirls from the Swirly Bird thinlits and added some gold glimmer and details for sparkle.

Don't forget to pop over and check out the rest of the design teams creations...So much lovely in one spot!
