Just Add Ink #402 Choose Two

Hello there,

well another hectic week has whizzed past and Easter is upon us. I am truly looking forward to some sleep ins, big cups of tea (with chocolate on the side), curling up on the couch and reading, and I might just sneak some stamping in there too! I was lucky enough to snatch some time last weekend for this week's Just Add Ink challenge. This week Nikki is asking us to Just Choose Two, you get to choose two of the three options below and use them on your project.

Here's what I came up with.

This was the perfect challenge to pull out Best Birds! I started by sponging my clouds through the stencil, adding sparkle to some selected clouds using shimmery embossing paste. I stamped my images onto watercolour paper, coloured them using an aqua painter, and then die cut them out. Having arranged everything I added some final sparkle with sequins and silver thread mixed in with the linen thread and twine. 

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #379 Inspiration

Hi there,
well we are in the middle of school holiday chaos, routines are out the window (ok that can be kind of nice) and the odd sleep in has occurred. I have been squeezing in stamping whenever I can for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week Kelly has set us an inspiration challenge. You can use colours, patterns or objects from the picture to inspire your project. I had to make my DH a birthday card and I decided to try something different, theme wise and card wise (warning it's a photo heavy post!).

My DH has discovered a passion for getting out into garden this year and I know he loves interactive cards so the two combined meant I was going to try making my first pop up cube card! I used Vanessa Webb's video to help me figure out how to do it. It was surprisingly easy to do and looks anything but easy!

The kids were both impressed with the pop-up cube card so hopefully my DH will be too. I would definitely recommend giving one a go! Hope you can join us for the challenge this week, but before you do go check out all the other fabulous projects from the Just Add Ink DT!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
