Just Add Ink #654 Colour

Hello, 

time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink and this week Rochelle is asking us to Just Add a Colour combo. The bright palette of colours is a nice change from winter setting in here, although I do love the vibrant Autumn colours we get - while there is still leaves on the trees.

This is what I came up with this week.

This bright, very summery combo of colours was perfect for my birthday card project. For the background, over a base of Tahitian Tide, to add a little interest I used an old SU! stencil to add vertical tone-on-tone stripes. Then splattered the background with Wink of Stella and gouache. The flowers and foliage were stamped and I then used the matching blends to add some extra depth and shading. Then I arranged the flowers to frame the delicate die cut sentiment.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #652 Sketch

 

Hello there, 

time for new challenge from Just Add Ink and this week Tina has asked us to Just Add a Sketch. Here it is.

I felt like colouring a cute and cuddly character so I pulled out a set from my stash, and this is what I came up with.

You could almost say the balloon was the defining factor in the design. As when I think of balloons I think of sky so that led to a blended background with clouds. Another delve into my stash unearthed a bright yellow DSP that coordinated in theme and colour to match. Leaving me to then to colour all the accessories - balloon and presents - with a matching bright primary colour palette. Some sparkly sequins finished it all off.

It's been a while since I've coloured and it was nice to get back to it :)

The rest of the JAI DT have lots of fabulous projects for you to look at, so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
