JAI 189 Just add a colour combo

Hello there,
going back a bit I took a colour combo for a test drive - today's card was the result  - and I liked it very much - so much so I recommended we use the colours for a Just Add Ink challenge. So here we are today with Just Add a Colour combo. 

I discovered retrospectively that the colour combo is drawn from the SU! Color Coach - a super tool, one which I must admit I use a lot!

Did you spy how I used washi tape here? I created my own DSP and also made washi covered leaves. Note to self -  must remember to play with my washi tapes more! I also watercoloured over my dahlias, embossing them first to prevent colour bleed an effect I really like - and its fun to do :)

For lots of gorgeous inspiration with this colour combo do check out the rest of the DT. Hope you can join us this week!

Thanks for visiting,
Kim

JAI 177 Just add a colour combo

Hello there,
well for a change we have survived the week germ free - a very pleasant change I can tell you! and probably for you too after weeks of hearing about them - lol! I had a lot of fun cracking out some new rubber for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge. This week we want you to add a colour combo - and it just lovely!

I had to take a small(ish) colour liberty as I had no DSP in Smokey Slate and I was determined to paper piece this fabulous dahlia with DSP so I dug through my stocks to find some in Basic Grey as a substitute. Here's the outcome.

More shabby chic my way and I loved doing every itsie bitsie detail - very therapeutic ;) It'll be hard to part with this one as I do love it so! I even broke open my artisan's kit from the previous seasonal catalogue to add the lace - it was worth over ruling my hoarding instincts to do so ;) OK enough gushing! Do go and check out the rest of the DT for some beautiful inspiration for using these colours and have a go yourself and join us.

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
