Just Add Ink #744 Choose Two

 

Hello,

time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week Di has a Choose Two challenge for us. I think you'll find this one fun, colourful with the potential for lots of shimmer. Here are the choices. Just pick two and feature them on your project.

I couldn't resist the idea of a rainbow, and as rainbows are kind of magical I just had to add even more magic. Here's how it turned out.

I started by blending a rainbow of colours, using the rainbow die as a guide for the space I had. Once I had the spectrum I die cut the rainbow. I then inset the large bands of colour within some white glimmer card stock. I also cut an array of cloud from the glimmer paper adding a light shading to the bottom edges. The clouds serve as the platform for my pegasus which was coloured with blends. To add to the shimmer factor I also liberally swiped Wink of Stella over the pegasus and added some sequins.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #687 Sketch

 

Hello there,

this week at Just Add Ink we have a sketch challenge for you - from me! Here's the sketch.

My first thought on looking at the sketch was that if I rotated it to a vertical format it would be perfect for a z fold card so that's what I made. Here's how it turned out.

I started by die cutting all the pieces for my ship and the waves. I sponged the edges of my sails and then dry embossed them to add some material texture. The background I blended in three stages - the water, a narrow strip of land horizon and then the sky. Extra 'texture' was added to the sea and land using stamping and some birds and clouds finished off the sky. The key point in the assembly was making sure to carefully align my inside panel with the front panel. This was to ensure that when the card is closed it looks clean and there is no hint of the inside peeking out.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
