Just Add Ink #409 Eclipse

Hello there,
well after a short unplanned break (too much to do and not enough time to do everything sums it up) I'm back this week. This week at Just Add Ink Rachael has a fun challenge for us. She wants us to Just Add the Eclipse Technique. There are many examples around the web of this fun technique, and now we'd love to see what you do!

Here's what I made, one for my Mum and one for my MIL.

Did you spot my 'MUM' camouflaged within the flower? 

Once I'd coloured my flowers I cut the letters for MUM out, and stacked them onto of 4 white die cuts, to lift my word up and out of the flower. If you tilt the card to the side you can see the dimension of the letters. I glammed everything up with lots of embossing, some Wink of Stella sparkle and with sequins. The tilted frame (from the Swirly Frames stamp set available in June from SU!) was an impromptu addition and I love how it was just perfect to frame my flower.

This proved to be a really fun challenge for me, do go and check out the rest of the Just Add Ink DT for some stunning inspiration and then come and join in the fun!

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

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
