JAI 179 Just add a 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

JAI 164 Just add a sketch

Hello there,

well after a bit of a break (in Hawaii no less) its back to catching up with my design team challenges. I enjoyed the change of pace but it was nice to come home and get inky again :) I've also been delving into SU! My Digital Studio - what a learning curve! But I really love the possibilities it offers. May'be I'll even get to put together a photo book on the holiday!

Anyway onto this weeks Just Add Ink challenge. This week we want you to add a sketch. 

This how mine worked out.

May'be the warm weather in Hawaii inspired the springy feel of todays offering! In a bit of a doh momment I only realised as I was overlaying the trimmed out elements that of course they wouldn't overlay perfectly as I'd cut the bottom coloured panel up and spaced it out as a grid. To minimise this I had to cut the two larger sprays into much smaller pieces. I also wanted to leave some of the grid visible so you can see designs origin from the sketch. I used the ink pad lids and my aquapainter for all the colouring. 

I wanted something special for my Mum's birthday and I think this fits the bill. Even if outside the window we have a carpet of colourful autumn leaves on the ground!

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
