Just Add Ink #446 Inspiration




Hello there,
the Just Add Ink design team loved the new challenge this week. So let's see what you think! This week Rachael has asked us to Just Add Inspiration. The inspiration picture is right below. You can use object, patterns or the colours from the picture to be the main focus for your project.


It was the colours and the bright pop of the flowers against the blue background that caught my attention. So I decided to do some colouring with my blends on coloured cardstock. Despite colouring on a Pool Party base I was pleasantly surprised with how bright and vibrant the colours were.



To make my floral pattern I went through my stamps sets and pulled out flowers and foliage that all had a similar style and then worked my way across the panel stamping the bigger images and then filling in the smaller gaps with little ones. Simple :) Then it was just a question of colouring each element, quite a meditative thing to do if you can find a cool spot on a hot day! I finished the card off with die cut foliage elements, sequins and wink of Stella for sparkle and some (deconstructed) ribbon for texture.

The Just Add Ink DT have a fabulous array of 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 #441 Inspiration



Hello there, 
we are having a VERY hot summer this year (bring on Autumn I say!) but until then, I am seeking out every cool corner of the house, especially when I sit down with a cup of tea and a sweet treat on the side. If you are a fan of sweet treats then this week's Just Add Ink challenge is right up your alley too! This week Jo has suggested we Just Add Inspiration and her picture is filled with sweet cake creaminess. Yum! Your project for the challenge can be inspired by the colours, patterns or elements in the picture. Here's the picture. 


I used a several elements of the inspiration picture for my project - the colours, the sweet treat theme and I pulled the texture from the cupcake wraps.




I wanted to get a good balance of the three colours I selected (Blushing Bride, Pool Party and Highland Heather) so I layered up three stitched ovals to frame a multi coloured cake, which is kind of perched on the fun graphic style sentiment. I am really enjoying adding some colour to the larger scale sentiments that have open line art letters. The corrugated background references the cup cake wrappers and add loads of texture. I also added in some silver glimmer and thread to add the essential bling elements!

Please go check out the awesome projects from the rest of the JAI design team, and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
