Hello there,
this week at Just Add Ink Nikki has challenged us to Just Add Numbers. As it turned out that was an easy challenge for me to work with as I still had a birthday card to make for my sweet Mr 7. Who has been excited all year about the idea of becoming Mr 8 (ok maybe he was more excited about the birthday party bit ;) Here's what I came up with.
Just to cover my bases on the number front - I added some more to the inside.
My little guy is pretty super so it was an easy decision to colour up a super boy for him. Even easier was the background (all patterned paper!) To give the frame some dimension I cut three layers and adhered them together with glue, then laid it over the patterned paper background.
There are all sorts of occasions you can add numbers. Check out the rest of the JAI DT for some great ideas. Hope you can join us.
Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Hello there,
another week has flown by and having survived a busy weekend I did, only just, manage to finish off this card in time for this week's Just Add Ink challenge. This week Di has challenged us to Just Add your three favourite colours. Besides your pick of three colours you can also add in neutrals. It's a fun challenge but one I think you need to give some thought to before you plunge in.
I'm a blue/green girl at heart so I had a think and I came up with the combo of Pool Party, Island Indigo and Crumb Cake. Here's what I made with them.
I have a lot of male family birthdays this time of year and for this one I wanted to capture a fresh clean and simple scene. I started by brayering Crumb Cake in from the bottom and Pool Party from the top. Then I added a little stamped detail over the top of the Crumb Cake. To frame the scene I layered over a diecut. Got to admit I love how this broke the scene into a series of windows. To finish it off I added a sentiment banner, using my third colour - Island Indigo - and a little Indigo bird (and a scatter of clear sequins). As this is a boy card I tried to keep the bling really restrained but I had to add something!
Hope you can join us for this fun challenge. Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT to see what they made with their three favourite colours.
Thanks for visiting,
Kim
