Just Add Ink #548 Sketch

 

Hello all,

this week at Just Add Ink we are asking you to Just Add a Sketch from Jan. I decided to dual purpose my project - it would get me ahead for Mother's Day (coming up here in early May) and also give some love to a neglected flower set from 2020. I do love flowers sets and can never resist acquiring one, two...or perhaps more new ones. Here's the sketch.

This is what I came up with.

My interpretation of the sketch is a bit loose particularly in the layering of the elements, but basically the red rose = the central rounded square, the circle = the lattice behind the rose, and the twine and sentiment = long central horizontal element.

I kept the background and colour palette simple, as I wanted all the attention on the rose. Colouring the rose red certainly achieves that aim! This was really all about the colours and colouring - an ink brayered, stamped and splattered background and the flower coloured with SU! Blends. The die cut lattice grounds the rose and adds in some detail.

Wink of Stella on the rose and some gems finished the project off.

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

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Colour INKspiration #49

Hello there,

welcome to the Colour INKspiration 49 blog hop. If you are hopping your way around the blog hop, you will have arrived from Lou Kitzelman's blog. Wasn't her cacti card so cute!! If you are starting the hop here but would like to go to the start at the  Colour INKspiration challenge page over on Facebook, just click the link to be redirected and ask to join the group, that way you can load your projects directly to the Facebook group.

Here's the INKspiration picture for this week. This week it's a colourful sea side picture featuring the colours Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, Pineapple Punch and Highland Heather.

Here is what I came up with - a floral creation. I didn't know that Pineapple Punch and Highland Heather were going to be my feature flower colours but that's how it turned out and I liked it - a definite bonus!

Hope you can join us and have some fun too! The challenge runs till Monday 25th February so there is plenty of time to join in. Next up, on the blog hop is Monique Fielder with a lovely project. Enjoy!
