Just Add Ink #666 Inspiration

Hello there,

it's time for the new challenge from Just Add Ink and this week Jan has an inspiration challenge for us. It definitely has a winter vibe but you don't have to go with that theme. Just use the colours, objects or patterns from the inspiration picture below and feature them in your project.

I, however, did go with a wintery vibe. I took several elements from the inspiration picture - colours, the snowy tree background, lots of white to contrast with bright colours. 

This project was all about die cutting - lots and lots of trees - and ink blending to add pops of colour. I added texture in a couple of ways. First by dry embossing all the trees with a subtle texture and then by adding splatters to the ink blended elements.

The Just Add Ink design team have plenty of fabulous projects for you so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #664 Colour

Hello,

time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink and this week Di is asking us to Just Add a Colour Combo. Here it is.

And this is how my project turned out.

I thought the colours leant towards an aquatic theme, so using a combination of ink blending, stamping and heat embossing I created an underwater scene. Then filled it with a turtle swimming through sea weed and coral. The overall feel is peaceful and muted which I rather liked.

The Just Add Ink design team 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
