Just Add Ink #676 Inspiration

 

Hello there,

time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week it is an inspiration challenge from me! Here's the inspiration picture. Use the objects, colours or patterns in the picture to inspire, and feature, in your project. 

This is what I came up with.

First I dug through my stash to find B&W DSP that matched the inspiration photo, then woodgrain embossed my base mat (which is unfortunately not very visible in the photos). Next I pulled out a stack of different ink colours and set about playing with the SU! Abundant Beauty decorative masks -  they are super easy to use! An evening fussy cutting while watching a movie saw me with a pile of flowers and leaves to layer together to create that bright orange floral pop of colour. A scatter of tiny gold sequins finished it all off.

The Just Add Ink design team have plenty of lovely 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 #674 Colour

 

Hello there,

time for a new challenge over at Just Add Ink and this week Rochelle has a bold colour combination for us to play with. Here it is.

I decided to see if I could get the colours to work for a Christmas card - I think I succeeded!

I played around with graduations of colour for this project. For the sentiment panel I used reinkers to layer strips of colour on a wet wipe and them used that as an ink pad for the large sentiment. On the background mat I used a snowflake stencil and blended Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock ink over a Fresh Freesia base. When I started I honestly wasn't sure if this mix of colours was going to work but by the end I was feeling pretty happy with how it turned out. The gold accents add that essential bit of Christmas bling.

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

Thanks for visiting,
