Just Add Ink #650 Big number and letters

 



Hello there,
we have a super size challenge for you this week at Just Add Ink. Lou is asking us to Just Add large letters or numbers. With a special birthday in the family, this was the perfect challenge to make a super size card.


Here's how it turned out.




There were several steps to this project. First, I blended the two-tone ombre front panel, then adding a sunburst pattern over the top with a stencil. Second, I stamped a multitude of flowers in different purple/ pink/ blue tones and die cut, and fussy cut them out. Third, I arranged flower clusters around the feature number panel. Lastly, I finished it all off with Wink of Stella and sequins.

Just Add Ink #648 Choose Two

 



Hello there, 
this week at Just Add Ink, Tina has challenged us to Just Choose Two. Just pick two of the three options below, then have fun combining them for your project.


With my own garden slowly succumbing to Autumn, I created a flower filled garden, under a window.



I started by scrounging through my die collection to find the right size flower and foliage options. Then I pulled out lots of cardstock - shades of green and bright colours for the flowers. The window and its curtains were also die cut, and the wall and flower pots were stamped using the accompanying (now retired) stamp set. It was labour intensive but at the same time fun, especially putting it together and seeing the scene emerge, pretty much as I had envisioned.

The JAI DT have plenty of inspiration for you, so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
