Just Add Ink #513 Choose Two

Hello there,

welcome to a new Just Add Ink challenge! This week Di has asked us to Just Choose Two. This time it's Flowers OR Trees OR Texture and you need to choose two of them for your project. My flower stamp collection is ever expanding so the flower choice was obvious and I thought texture was a good match so that's what I went with. 

Here's how it turned out.

Trying to work out the ink combinations for the flowers was a very inky process but in the end I came up with something that I was happy with. For my pink and yellow blooms I worked out that a stamped off layer was actually the best way to get the right shade to start with. I built texture in using several elements  First, I embossed my main panel with the 'Subtle' folder first then the 'Bricks and Mortar' folder. Stitched elements add another layer, then a double layered twine bow* and clear gems, plus a swish of wink of Stella finish it all off. 

*To get the white twine I pulled the blue twine thread out from the Flowers for Every Season twine. I little fiddly but doable.

The Just Add Ink DT have lots of fabulous projects to show you so please go check them out. 

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Colour INKspiration #63

Hello there,

welcome to the Colour INKspiration 63 blog hop. If you are hopping your way around the blog hop, you will have arrived from Kim Oliver's blog. If you are starting the hop here but would like to go to the start at the  Colour INKspiration challenge page over on Facebook, just click the link to be redirected and ask to join the group, that way you can load your projects directly to the Facebook group.

Here's the INKspiration picture for this week. This week it's filled with a lush combination of colours featuring Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Gold Foil. 

Here what I came up with.

I knew I wanted a strong gold element so I cut half inch strips of gold foil and adhered them to a panel of whisper white card stock then cut using a large stitched rectangle die. 

Tip: One of my favourite recycle tips is not to throw out the outside of the frame you just cut but use it to add detail to your inside! If you go back through my blog posts just about any time I've cut the front panel with the stitched rectangle you'll see the outside of the frame used on the inside.

I used an ornate stitched label, but kept it white so it added detail but didn't dominate, to frame the sentiment, and then built up my flower bouquet. As you can tell I succumbed to the lure of the Beautiful Friendship stamp set, in fact this is its first outing!

Hope you can join the INKspirations team and have some fun too! The challenge runs till Monday 23rd September so there is plenty of time to join in. Next up, on the blog hop is the lovely Jan Clothier with something special to show you. Enjoy!
