Hello there,
did you all enjoy the Just Add Ink blog hop last week? There are so many new techniques and projects I want to try that the girls showcased last week - when I get the time that is! This week our new challenge is to Just Add a sketch. I'm sure you'll have fun with it.
And here is what I made of it.
The idea for this began with the idea of a crepe filter paper flower. All the layers evolved from there as I wanted something blingy to top it off and something beneath to frame it. I had fun playing with all the inky layers to create the background too. And since I had the sewing machine out I added a some stitching detail as well :)
Thanks for visiting hope you can join us and do check the rest of the DT for some wonderful inspiration for the sketch.

Hello there,
I was supposed to be prepping for an upcoming class last week when the idea for my card this week just kind popped in to my head and the prep was cast aside! But this flew together like it was supposed to be together. It's another of these slightly scrappy shabby chic cards and I used the great sketch we have for you this week at Just Add Ink. You can work this in so many ways!
Its only taken me a year but I've discovered Raspberry Ripple and just love the combination with Crisp Cantaloupe and in this case with a dash of Summer Starfruit. I had fun with this card layering on ink and then different embellishy bits and finishing it all off with a sprinkle of bling! Mind you quite a few of the bits and bobs are still "new" and its always fun to break out new stuff and play :)
Do check out the rest of the DT for some fabulous ideas on how to play with this sketch. Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Hello there,
well I'm snugged up on the couch tapping away, a nice place to be, especially since the temperature is dropping outside. We came verrry close to having our first frost the other day. But I don't mind a brisk walk in the morning and looking at all the gorgeous autumn colours is a lovely way to start the day :)
However my card today has more of a springy feel I think and a really fun textured background and that is what we want you to add this week at Just Add Ink - Just add a fun background. Now please note it must be a background you create using ink and/or paper. Go and check out the rest of the JAI DT for some fabulous and fun ideas!
I decided to seize the chance to try stamping on tissue paper. You do the stamping first and to be honest it looked Ok but nothing special till I scrunched it up and then adhered it to my base cardstock layer. It almost seems transformed - so very tactile and textural - it reminded me of fabric even! Since this challenge is all about the background I didn't want to cover it up too much. So since I some new dolly sizzlets to play with I made up a little medallion and topped it off with some rolled flowers and pearls and finished the front off with some linen thread detail.
This was definitely a fun way to add a background and I'll be trying it again! Thanks for visiting,
Kim
