Just Add Ink #535 Magical Creatures

 

Hello there,

I've only made a few Christmas cards this year but I've enjoyed the process (in all honesty my cards usually involve quite a process). This week I have one more for you, for this week's Just Add Ink challenge. This week Kelly has asked us to Just Add Magical Creatures. So get out your fairies, dragons, elves, gnomes or any other magical creatures you have!

I had to use my SU! gnomes for this - well one gnome anyway. 

Once I decided on using the Snowflake Splendour DSP all my colour choices were pretty much settled, and making that decision can be a really good way of getting yourself started on a project. I also decided to create an arched window, this turned out to be simple. First I die cut a circle from my DSP (that was added to the inside of the card). Using my trimmer I cut straight down from the widest part of the circle on each side and then made the final cut, parallel to the bottom of the card, to join the two side cuts. I created my scene and added my gnome and present which had both been glittered up with Wink of Stella and Shimmery crystal effects.

I was super happy with the end result :)

Please go and check out the magical projects of the rest of the Just Add Ink DT, then come back and join in the challenge.

This will probably be my last post for the year, as Just Add Ink will take a break till mid January soon. So I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Kim

Just Add Ink #531 Inspiration

Hello there,

we are in that rapid approach to Christmas now so you'll see more Christmas projects from me, including this week! This week at Just Add Ink Lou has asked us to Just Add Inspiration, and what a fun and colourful inspiration picture it is!

All those oh so colourful pom pom Christmas trees inspired me to create my own rainbow of trees.

I stamped a lot of trees in different colours, die cut them out, then began mixing, matching and balancing colour. The end result is very bright and happy and all I needed to add to finish it all off was some wink of stella and gold cord.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim
