Just Add Ink #403 Colour

Hello there,
well after some adjusting to our new non daylight saving hours (seriously waking up at 5 am is no fun!) I am raring to go for this weekend's OnStage. I'm looking forward to catching up with crafting friends, always a highlight, especially the JAI girls ;), and some inspiration in the form of the new catalogue! I have got something for you though before I head off! This week at Just Add Ink Rochelle has asked us to Just Add a Colour Combo, here it is.

Fresh Fig is a colour I do find somewhat challenging to use but I think it does add a lovely rich tone combined with Bermuda and gold.

In an effort to soften the colours a little I started by watercoloring stripes of them across watercolour paper. Then I added layers of colour and texture to my sentiment feature, lots of gold elements and just for fun some little rolled flowers (using 3/4" and 1" circle punches).

The Just Add Ink DT have a fabulous array of colour inspired cards for you, so please go check them out, and then come back and join in the challenge, we'd love to see your take on the colours!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

Just Add Ink #384 Inspiration

Hello there,
life continues to be busy here, but I made sure to set aside some time to get a project done (another Christmas card - I did warn you!) for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week Jan wants us to Just Add Inspiration, and who wouldn't be inspired by these gorgeously coloured flowers! You can use the colours, the flowers or any other element of the picture to inspire your project!

I loved how these colours worked to make a bright non-traditional Christmas card. 

Some tips: I used a now retired SU! stencil to create the background. Stencils are a fabulous way to create unique and fun background and quite user friendly to watercolouring as long as you are careful not to use too much water. Did you see how I framed the sentiment panel with vellum? It stands out doesn't it! With the return of SU! Blends alcohol markers changing the colour of vellum is now super easy.

The Just Add Ink DT have a gorgeous array of projects to WOW you so please go check them out and then join in the challenge!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
