Just Add Ink #673...Choose Two!

 




Good Morning friends!

Over at Just Add Ink this week we have a fun "Choose Two" challenge from Jan with 3 fun options to choose from.

For my project this week l have chosen "Window & Flowers" creating an interactive shaker window card with stencilled blooms using the "Abundant Beauty" masks.

Flower & foliage colours are...

Fresh Freesia & Bubble Bath for the large flower

Pumpkin Pie-Wild Wheat-Pale Papaya for the middle size

Gorgeous Grape & Highland Heather for the small

Old Olive & Parakeet Party for the foliage.

To create my window l up-cycled one of the photopolymer acetate sheets that the stamps come packaged with and used the Deckled Rectangles to create the window. Gold sequins are from my crafting stash & non SU.

Greetings are from the lovely New "Modern Garden" stamp set.

Not the best of photos, as we all know photographing acetate in bright light is not easy.



Lots of fun designs from the design team, so if you haven't been over to the challenge blog, click the link for lots of inspiration.

Colour INKspiration...#152

 




Evening all!

Over at Colour INKspiration  this week, Bron has chosen this beautiful colour palette to create with.

My project for this one uses the By My Side stamps, Wanted to Say Dies & Birds Eye View stamps for the balloons.
Images are coloured with Stampin Blends, with the skintone of Crumbcake (an extra allowed colour). These are all popped upon a Deckled Rectangle Base and some Linen Thread to tie the balloons together.
Sweet and simple and another quick one to create!

Just Add Ink #671...Inspiration!

 




Happy Friday friends!

It's time for a new challenge over at Just Add Ink  and for this one Kerry has given us this lovely inspiration to create our projects with.

I just love the moody greens and decided it was perfect for creating a Christmas Card using the lovely NEW "Christmas Classics" bundle.

For this one l stuck to Mossy Meadow using tone on tone and adding Gold Glimmer and Gold thread (non SU) for sparkle.

The Gold Glimmer rectangle below the greeting was die cut with the retired stitched rectangle dies.

This one was so quick and easy, perfect for mass producing, exactly what l love for Christmas cards.


The design team have made some beautiful projects, so if you haven't already, click the link for loads of lovely inspiration.

Colour INKspiration...#151

 




Evening all!

This weeks Colour INKspiration challenge colours are from Cathy and they are just dreamy!

I recently purchased the "Sea Turtle" stamps and thought l would give them a go with these colours. I used a combination of blending brushes and daubers to add the inks, trying to create a lifelike colour.

Earlier this year l had the opportunity to swim with these beautiful creatures and it was definitely a bucket list moment. To be able to walk directly off the beach and have them swim around you was just breathtaking and l cant wait to do it again.

To create the background, l inked up an acrylic block with Balmy Blue, spritzed with water and stamped directly to cardstock...Such a fun way to add colour without harsh lines.

To finish off l went with a simple Linen Thread knot and added some of the sweet Loose Silver Sequins to emulate some bubbles and diluted some of the inks and white for a speckled effect on the turtle.

I decided not to add a greeting to this one, as l'm not sure for what occasion l will use it, but it can easily be added at a later time.
