Just Add Ink #736 Bling

Hello,
time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week Lou has suggested that we all add 'a touch of bling' to our projects. You will always find some bling on my projects so not too much of a stretch for me but it's always fun to play sparkly things. 

And one last one to show the bling added.

It's it has been quite a while since I've sat down to do some colouring so I decided to start with a smaller image. So I pulled out an old StampingBella stamp from my stash, put on a movie, pulled out my markers and got to work. All the bling, with the exception of Wink of Stella splatter in the background, is on my winged girl. I wanted her to be blinged up but also not overwhelmed by it. So I swiped her with Wink of Stella, added shimmery crystal effects on her wings and finished her off with a little ring of gems on her dress, and left it at that.

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

JAI #282 Just add inspiration

Hello there,
well I have survived (barely) the first week of the school holidays. Keeping the munchkins entertained meant not a lot of stamping time. So it's just as well that I was able to prepare for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge early!! This week we have a gorgeous Just Add Inspiration challenge from Narelle.

I thought this was perfect for a couple of little girl cards I had to make.

I couldn't resist making a blue version too.

For my initial card I wanted to capture the silver/grey tones, pink of course and all the circle and swirly elements. For my backgrounds I stamped rows of dots (Smokey slate stamped off) and then I stamped again in Versamark (offsetting the dots slightly and embossed them with Iridescent Ice powder. My two fairy girls I coloured with Copics, then mounted over the top of swirly cut silver glimmer paper, grounding them with the sentiment. The cards were finished off with a scattering of color coordinated sequins. They both turned out super sparkly, super cute and super fun!

Hope you can join us. We'd love to see where inspiration takes you! Don't forget to visit the rest of the DT for some wonderful projects.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

JAI59 - just add a sketch

Hi there,
welcome back for this week’s Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have a lovely sketch for you. Here it is.


It’s going to be another girls birthday card I really figure I need to build up my stash to prepare for whenever Miss 6 gets invited to a party since I don’t always have the option to whip one up in time. (My card making is more of a slow cooking process than an....omlette - nothing wrong with an omlette though) ;) So here is my slow cooked card.



For this one I decided to use Candy Lane DSP as my starting point. So I pulled it out and decided which patterns I wanted to use. Having sorted out my layers I stamped my image and coloured her in, was pretty chuffed with how that turned out. Then it was sticking it all together and adding the finishing touches - in this case some stitching, and dazzling diamonds. I really love how adding these touches kind of lifts everything :) I know pretty brief again, for me anyway, but I'm tirrreedd. Any questions just ask!

Thanks for visiting and if you have time this week why don't you have a go at the sketch too!
