Just Add Ink #479 Colour

Hello there,
we had a big family birthday recently with my brother turning 50. To celebrate he decided to throw a 60's themed party and of course I had to make him a 60's inspired birthday card. Psychedelic swirling patterns and tie die sprung to mind. In the end, however, I settled with a slightly more restrained colour palette using the new challenge from Just Add Ink. This week Jackie is asking us to Just Add Colour, here are the colours.

And here is what I came up with.

I began by sketching in a circle and then used a ruler to draw in a radiating sunburst in pencil. Having worked out a plan I rubbed out most of the lines and then used reinkers to add intense colour to the pattern. Once the ink was dry I flicked over some white opaque paint. Boys love interactive elements so I made my 50 element a spinner.

The biggest challenge with masculine cards is keeping it simple but adding in enough to make it interesting. I wouldn't normally add so much glitz but for a special birthday I figure I could get away with it.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #477 Sketch

Hello there,

we are in the run up to spring holidays here and I am quite looking forward to a break in the usual routine. However, this week I was thinking of a different season, and the new challenge from Just Add Ink, was perfect for my requirements. This week it's my turn to ask you to Just Add a Sketch. Here it is.

I turned and flipped my sketch about so I could have my elf (not) peeking out from a tree.

My (not) peeking elf was coloured with SU! blends and I had him peering out through some mistletoe. I even added some white berries, using the new snowfall accents puff paint, which was fun to work with and added some great dimension. I also used some shimmery crystal effects and wink of Stella to add more subtle sparkle.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
