Just Add Ink #680 Alcohol

 

Hello, 
time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week Kerry is giving us something different and asking us to....

It has been a while since I've done any colouring, so I seized my chance to pull out my alcohol markers - SU! Blends - and play with the very cute Festive and Fun stamp set.

This pretty much turned out as I envisioned :) which was to have the pile of presents as bright pops of colour against the 'sky'. Once the colouring was done the rest was die cutting and a bit of fussy cutting. 

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

JAI 139 Just add something brand new

Hello there,
well I've been enjoying a lovely week spent with family in Sydney this week, which has included a visit to the zoo, beach, and lots of playgrounds - of course :) However before I left I did manage to squeeze in some crafting with some of my new SU! products, and its the new bit that's key for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge which is Just Add something brand new! Now I'm sure you can manage that :) This is what I came up with.

 

So what did you think of the inside? - a bit of fun isn't. I've been saving up this die to use just for this card. A friend of mine said recently she's discovered that boys (big and small) want their cards to be interactive - so true!! and this card is my DH's birthday card so it had to have/ do something special. (I think he liked it). As for the new, well there's a bunch of stuff - the paper and ribbons banners are all brand new and I think I can count the HAPPY die as well. I also finally got to indulge in the banner trend - I had fun making those :) Aside from the banners the rest of the front was pretty simple - a little bit of embossed texture and then some doodling around the edge with a white gel pen. The inside was really a lot simpler than it looks - the fussiest bit was working out how to add the balloons.

 

So do you think you can have some fun with some new crafting goodies this week - please join us if you can :)

 

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
