Just Add Ink #605 Inspiration

 

Hello there,

the new challenge at Just Add Ink inspired me to pull a set out of my stash that I've had for....at least year and never seen ink. I'm sure some you are familiar with that phenomena! This week we are asking you to Just Add Inspiration suggested by no other than me. Here's the inspiration pic.

I went with a fairly clean masculine vibe for this one.

Texture, stitched detail and twine add the extra interest here, but I hope somewhat subtly as I wanted the coastal scene to be the real draw. You can actually see something very similar to this along the southern coast of Australia on the Great Ocean Road.

The rest of the JAI DT have lots of fabulous 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 #564 Choose Two

 

Hello there,

we have a new challenge for you at Just Add Ink. This week Di has asked us to Just Choose Two, which means you need to pick two of the three options and feature them in your project. For me it was the perfect opportunity to prepare ahead for my brother's birthday.

Here's the Choose Two options.

And this is how my project turned out.

This card is all about the wave die! I cut the wave mat in a dark blue shade and the 'foam' pieces in white then blended a transition of blue shades, going from the highlight white at the top of the wave to a deeper blue at the base. The rest of the scene is ink based, first a stamped sea, then a blended sunrise/ sunset sky. Originally I had masked a 'sun' but got a speck of blue ink in it so added a stitched circle over the top. My surfer is placed on the top lip of the wave - which my husband was quick to point out is not how surfers surf waves - but it looks more spectacular! My inside in that respect is more accurate.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
