JAI 36 - just add a sketch


Hi there,

this week at Just Add Ink we have a great sketch challenge for you to work with. Here is the sketch.

Now I started with a completely different idea - even had the card two thirds done and then was seized with a new idea that I just HAD to make to see how it would come out. Which one are you going to see? Well I was kind of happy with how the second one turned out so here it is.





My idea out of the blue was to have a balloon floating across some of the map pattern DSP from the new Newsprint pack - add an arrow saying "Party This Way" and end result - a fun somewhat quirky card. It brings a smile to my face anyway :)
So I started with a Pacific Point base layered that with Vanilla and then added some of the map patterned DSP. Then I stamped the balloon basket and the Party sign in Pacific Point on Vanilla, and trimmed them out. To make the balloon I stamped the party balloon from Party This Way, again and again (masking) till I got a big enough balloon to punch out. I added a little ruffled Pacific Point flower with a rhinestone and rhinestones to the basket to finish it off. As per the sketch I also added a scalloped panel on the LHS, layered as per the base. That panel was finished off with some White Taffeta, dyed with Pacific Point, tied in a bow with rhinestone.
The inside was just finished off very simply to match.

Thanks for visiting, and why don't you have a go at the sketch too and then link your creation back to Just Add Ink - we'd love to see it!
