Just Add Ink #550 Colour Combo

 

Hello there,

this week at Just Add Ink Jo has suggested that we Just Add a Colour Combo. For me the colours were perfectly suited to a flower card, although in all honesty I can just about turn any challenge into a flower card! Here are the colours.

And this is how it turned out.

I hadn't used my Jar of Flowers set for a while and decided it was perfect for this project. So I stamped and coloured flowers, trimmed them out, cut them apart and then created two jar bouquets. Using a black patterned paper against the colours created a nice strong contrast and elegant feel for the front. A cute sentiment tag, a swish of wink of stella and some clear gems finished the card off.

The Just Add Ink DT have some lovely projects to show you so please go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge!

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #517 Sketch

Hello there,

well I have another flower filled post for you this week as a counter balance to our quite arctic weather. This week it was my turn to set the challenge at Just Add Ink, and I am asking you to Just Add a Sketch. Here it is.

This is how it turned out.

The geometric nature of this sketch made me think that switching from black and white would be quite effective and against that some bold bright colours would work. The B&W background took some fiddling, as I had to adjust the smaller rectangle so that was proportional to the larger base. To add a bit of visual 'oomph' I used B&W striped DSP as well. All the flowers I used were actually left overs from an earlier project, so it was actually quite quick to create the bouquet on the front and also embellish the inside. A swish of wink of Stella, a simple sentiment, and a few sequins finished it all off.

The Just Add Ink DT have an abundance of gorgeous projects for your viewing pleasure so do go check them out and then come back and join in the challenge!

Just Add Ink #508 'F'

Hello there,
well Winter officially began this week and you can certainly feel it! However, on the upside that does mean quality time snuggled up at home with the heaters on. I did spend a lot of time inside colouring and fussy cutting for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge. This week Tina is asking us to Just Add 'F'. That means the main element of your project must be something beginning with 'F'. It could be an animal - think 'frog", or a technique, think "faux" or a fancy fold like "flip flap" or "flower pot" card. This was a no brainer for me, 'F' is for flowers - and I had some new ones to play with!

Here's how it turned out.

I was thinking wildflower meadow - so lots of different flowers and lots of colours and I got to say I love how it turned out. It took a lot of colouring and a lot of fussy cutting, and I think I used every Blend colour there is, but it's so pretty! All I did to finished it all off was add a swish of Wink of Stella over all the flowers. I love the new embossing folder texture too - sooo versatile.

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

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
