Just Add Ink #459 Colour




Hello there,
this week at Just Add Ink Rochelle has asked us to Just Add a Colour Combo. With freezing cold winds gusting around all week this week, it was a real pleasure to play with some bright springish colours and some new stamps!! Here are the colours.


I had to break out one of the beautiful floral clusters in Bloom and Grow for these colours. The cluster is actually designed with the flowers in a straight row but I knew I wanted mine to hug my sentiment circle. I'll show you how to do that below. First, here's how it all turned out.




Altering the alignment of your stamps is super easy with photopolymer stamps. Simply add a guide (the die cut circle) into your Stamparatus, then adhere your stamp to the cover. As you adhere it gently adjust the curvature of the stamps to match the circle (see below), then stamp away! There's only one catch, you will no longer be able to cut the cluster with the dies, so be prepared for some fussy cutting! 


The other way to adapt your stamped image is to cut the floral cluster apart, which is what I did for my inside cluster as I wanted it to nestle into the corner. Simply cut along the stamped lines!

This card was all about the colouring, so I pulled out my blends (and a cup of tea) :) I finished off the card with a fresh woodgrain textured background and a little sheen of Wink of Stella on the flowers.

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

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Colour Inkspiration #56




Hello there,
welcome to the Colour INKspiration 56 blog hop. If you are hopping your way around the blog hop, you will have arrived from Leonie Stuart's blog. If you are starting the hop here but would like to go to the start at the  Colour INKspiration challenge page over on Facebook, just click the link to be redirected and ask to join the group, that way you can load your projects directly to the Facebook group.

Here's the INKspiration picture for this week. This week it's filled with deep richly coloured florals featuring the colours Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Melon Mambo and Garden Green. 


Here what I came up with.




This was all about the colouring for me (and just a little simple masking so I could get a continuous floral frame). Basically just ink and watercolour paper, then finished off with a stitched edge, a lick of Wink of Stella, and some sequins.

Hope you can join us and have some fun too! The challenge runs till Monday 10th June so there is plenty of time to join in. Next up, on the blog hop is Nicole Wilson with a lovely project. Enjoy!
