Just Add Ink #685 Blog Hop Flowers


Hello there and welcome to 2024 on the blog!

The Just Add Ink team are kicking off the new year with our annual blog hop.

You may have come from Kerry Parkinson's blog, be starting the blog hop here on my blog, or you can go to Just Add Ink, and then follow the links at the end of each team members blog post on to the next. This year the theme is flowers.



Here's how my project turned out.





I do love an ombre background so I started with that, then embossed it and added splatters of white paint and Wink of Stella. Then I pulled out various purple hues and started stamping some flowers. I wanted to keep it elegant and uncluttered, so created just a small cluster of flowers to accent the large mixed font sentiment. I finished it all off with some silver sequins and ribbon accents.

Jan McQueen is next on the blog hop, so please go and check out her gorgeous project, and then the rest of the team. Then come back and join in the challenge we'd love to see your floral project. 



Thanks for visiting,
Kim
