Just Add Ink #424 Texture





Hello there,
eeek it was back to freezing cold frosty mornings this week but the promise of spring is on the way as some hardy optimistic trees are already producing blossoms which makes me smile!  I obviously had blossoms on my mind when I was putting my project together for this week's  Just Add Ink challenge. This week Di has challenged us to Just Add Texture.



Here's how it turned out.




When I think texture two things spring to mind - dry embossing and embossing paste. Embossing paste was the way I decided to go, tinting Shimmery White paste with several tones of pink and then using a mask to create a pattern. Once that was dry (it doesn't take long) I was able to layer some clusters of flowers over the top to frame the sentiment. An added little element of texture is the stitching detail and I also embossed the sentiment. This card is destined for a new teen who loves pink and sparkle so I think I'm on a winner!

The Just Add Ink DT have lots of wonderful projects to show you so please do go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Just Add Ink #423 Colour



Hello there,
sheesh it has been a busy week and I am really glad it's Friday! Friday also means a new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we are asking you to Just Add a Colour Combo (I chose the colours). Here are they are.


And here's what I came up with. I put together the colours hoping they would be suitable for Father's Day card and that is what I made for my FIL.




My FIL is fond of a coffee and honestly there aren't many of us that don't start the day with a hot cuppa of some kind. I added in some texture by using a stitched framelit and Wood Textures DSP and a bit of sheen by embossing the cup lid. Ok and I snuck in a few sequins to represent the steam and aroma seeping up out of the cup. I figured I could get away with that even if it was a masculine card!

The Just Add Ink DT have a wonderful array of projects to show you so please do go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.
