Just Add Ink #404 Shaker

Hello there, 
this week at Just Add Ink we have a really fun challenge for you. Di has asked us to Just Add a Shaker. There lots of ways to make shakers, and so many different fun things you can add to be shaken - confetti, sequins, micro beads, glitter. 

Here's what I came up with.

This one was made for a friend who loves tulips and teal and of course the jar was the perfect place for a shaker! As you can see it was all about the colouring, so I kept the rest fairly monochromatic, adding in some texture and sparkle using Shimmery embossing paste and grounding my jar of flowers on a little woodgrain shelf. I really enjoyed the chance to just sit down and colour in lots and lots of flowers!

The Just Add Ink DT have a really fun and creative array of shakers to show you so please go check them out, and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

JAI #329 Just add inspiration

Hello there,
well it was another hectic week here. I was juggling extra hours at work to cover colleagues travelling, we had a big morning at the kids school for their annual learning journey, I had a headache, there was beautiful spring sunshine and then MORE rain. How's that for a potted summary!

In a midst of all of that I grabbed a few precious minutes to put together a card for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have a Just Add Inspiration challenge from Di filled with spring colours. Here's the picture.

I just couldn't resist I had to pull the perfect stamp out of my non-SU! stash - because it was a bunch of tulips! Here's how it turned out.

I started by colouring my tulips with the colours from the inspiration picture. Originally I had planned to have a white background for them but in the end the colours really popped against the dark gray so that's what I went with. So it didn't compete with the tulips I kept the background monochromatic. I also couldn't resist adding some sequins. I added just a few between the two stamped jar layers using a thin strip of double side tape around the edge to seal them in.

Hope you can join us this week. To play along just pick the bits that inspire you - the colours, image or patterns from the inspiration pic and don't forget to stop past the blogs of the rest of the DT!

Kim

JAI 103 - Just a colour combo

Hello there :)
this week at Just Add Ink we have a colour combo challenge, with a very Valentine/ love feel to it. Here's the combo.

And here is the card I made for my Mum and Dad to celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary.

I had this idea in mind for my parents card for a while, and while December is not exactly tulip time I couldn't go past colouring up a beautiful bunch of red tulips. My Dad usually buys Mum a large bunch of flowers - often red roses so I figured this fit right in with the anniversary vibe.

The flowers were hopefully going to be the stars of the card so I kept the rest of the background fairly simple - some spotty DSP, white embossed dots, seam binding where the two join and then simple stitched frame detailing. I stamped the jar direct onto the large diecut, and then added the flowers and coloured them in. I also stamped the flowers a second time and then coloured the flowers. This second image was trimmed out and then mounted on top of the base image on dimensionals. The frilly jar embellishment diecut hides where the mounted coloured layer transitions to colouring on the base layer. The card was finished off with a little framed sentiment and just a touch of bling to carry through the red and white theme.

I can't deny that the colouring took quite a while but it is a very enjoyable thing to do (even when you do it three times over!!). But I was very happy with how the card turned out and of course more importantly so were my Mum and Dad!! Hope you find the time to add some red and white this week too :)

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

PS: I know I know red and white - but really could you have coloured the leaves any colour but green!!! It just wouldn't have looked right ;)
