Just Add Ink #744 Choose Two

 

Hello,

time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week Di has a Choose Two challenge for us. I think you'll find this one fun, colourful with the potential for lots of shimmer. Here are the choices. Just pick two and feature them on your project.

I couldn't resist the idea of a rainbow, and as rainbows are kind of magical I just had to add even more magic. Here's how it turned out.

I started by blending a rainbow of colours, using the rainbow die as a guide for the space I had. Once I had the spectrum I die cut the rainbow. I then inset the large bands of colour within some white glimmer card stock. I also cut an array of cloud from the glimmer paper adding a light shading to the bottom edges. The clouds serve as the platform for my pegasus which was coloured with blends. To add to the shimmer factor I also liberally swiped Wink of Stella over the pegasus and added some sequins.

The Just Add Ink DT have lots of lovely 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 #707 Sketch

 

Hello there,

time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week's it's a sketch challenge from yours truly. One fun thing about sketches is that you can always rotate them, or flip them to make them work for your idea, which is what I did this week. Here's the sketch.

Here's how my project turned out.

The semi circle sketch element is what drove my idea for this project. Once I thought of it being the moon then it was just a case doing the inky work to create a night time scene. While not realistic, artistically I preferred the tree elements at the bottom to be in white as they contrasted so crisply with the dark sky. The dark tones and clean lines lent this more towards a 'thinking of you" sentiment so that's how I finished it off.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
