Just Add Ink #678 Choose Two

 

Hello there,

this week at Just Add Ink its time for a Choose Two challenge from Nikki.

Pick two of the above options and feature them in your project. I decided to go with Brights and Foliage and make a non-traditional coloured Christmas card.

The main effort for this card was in 1) the stamping 2) using a fine line marker to outline the stamped images and 3) fussy cutting all the foliage pieces out. That was definitely a job to do while watching a movie one night! To assemble, I die cut a foliage design into the background and heat embossed the sentiment, then layered the multicoloured foliage to radiate out from around the sentiment.

The Just Add Ink design team have plenty of lovely projects for you so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #580 Colour

 

Hello there,

I feel like I'm on a rapid trajectory to Christmas and the end of the year, in some ways that's good and in others it is panic inducing! This week I'm adding another Christmas card to my stash, using the new challenge from Just Add Ink. This week Rochelle is asking us to Just Add a Colour Combo. Here are the colours to work.

And this is what I came up with.

I rifled through my die stash and found an old Christmas sentiment die that would be perfect as a gold focal element. So I cut one out in gold and then another three in white card stock, glueing them together to give a nice dimensional shiny sentiment focal. I surrounded that with some soft pink poinsettia's and wintery foliage. I wanted the gold sentiment and the foliage elements to pop so I kept the background white just adding some timber texture. 

The Just Add Ink 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
