Just Add Ink #703 Choose Two

 

Hello there,

this week at Just Add Ink, Kerry has a Choose Two challenge for us. Just pick two of the options below and feature them on your project. This week you might find it harder to not include all three but it can be done!

I decided to go with bright colours and birthday. This is how it turned out.

My choice of patterned paper set what colours I would be using, so with that decision made I just had to get on with the colouring. Once the colouring was done, and the sentiment embossed, Wink of Stella and a scatter of sequins finished the card off. 

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #652 Sketch

 

Hello there, 

time for new challenge from Just Add Ink and this week Tina has asked us to Just Add a Sketch. Here it is.

I felt like colouring a cute and cuddly character so I pulled out a set from my stash, and this is what I came up with.

You could almost say the balloon was the defining factor in the design. As when I think of balloons I think of sky so that led to a blended background with clouds. Another delve into my stash unearthed a bright yellow DSP that coordinated in theme and colour to match. Leaving me to then to colour all the accessories - balloon and presents - with a matching bright primary colour palette. Some sparkly sequins finished it all off.

It's been a while since I've coloured and it was nice to get back to it :)

The rest of the JAI DT have lots of fabulous projects for you to look at, so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.

JAI #313 Just add B

Hello there,
this week at Just Add Ink Tina has suggested that we Just Add B. Add B?? Well that means you can add anything starting with B. It could be a colour like Blushing Bride or Bermuda Bay or just blue, something like a bear, a badger, a bottle or a technique like using baby wipes, bleach or bokeh. As long as it's the main focus of your project. This gives you lots of scope to try something you love or something new! 

As you've probably guessed I decided to add bears (and birthday!).

I started by using a stencil to add a scattering of stars to my card front which I then embossed. Next step was to brayer a gradient of blue over the stars. After that it was just adding the other elements on top. The bears, balloon and presents I coloured in with copics. It takes time but it's such a relaxing thing to do to just sit down and colour! I finished off the balloon with a sheen of Wink of Stella. That and the glint of sliver trim and cord add the required amount of bling ;) 

Hope can join us this week. Do go check out the rest of the DT projects you'll be inspired!
