Just Add Ink #432 Choose Two

Hello there,
we have a fun Choose Two challenge for you at Just Add Ink this week suggested by Patrice. You need to select two of the elements (see below) and use them on your project. I decided to add bows and bling.

I decided to combine something old and something new for my project this week.

I loved the Christmas Merry Mice set from last years SU! Holiday catalogue so I haven't parted with it. To start I selected my mouse and watercolored him. Next I stamped my background, the gorgeous Buffalo Check, then had fun converting it to plaid by adding detail with my blend markers. I added some bling with Wink of Stella and layers of glimmer paper. For my bow element I added a bow to the ornament and then one to the card.

The Just Add Ink DT have a fabulous range of cards to inspire you so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Just Add Ink #431 Sketch

Hello there,
I managed to find some time to do some colouring last weekend and the end result was a Santa card, created just in time for this week's Just Add Ink challenge! This week Tina is asking us to Just Add a Sketch. Here it is.

My idea was to create a night time scene with Santa on his way to deliver presents under the light of a full moon.

I started by brayering a background, using post it's to mask off a zone to keep it lighter so the moon light could beam down on Santa. Once the background was dry I flicked some white paint speckles over for a snowy effect. Santa was coloured using blends markers and then trimmed out. In order to balance out the colours I added little banners of lights to the trees along side the 'road' using a retired set Confetti Celebration. That was fiddly but worth the effect. I twinkled up the lights with wink of stella and then a layer of glue that dries to a glassy finish.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
