Just Add Ink #444 Colour

Hello there,

family birthdays, school and work kept me pretty occupied this week, but in and around it all I managed to pull out my stamps to put something together for the new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week Nikki has asked us to Just Add a Colour Combo, with a twist ... you get to pick your own third colour! 

My colour of choice was Pool Party! 

Red, pink with a light teal shade of blue (Pool Party) is such a lovely classic colour combo. I used Pool Party as my grounding shade and for the foliage and that let me go to town with the pink and red for my flowers. Stitching adds some subtle texture, while the black twine adds some drama, and of course some sequins and Wink of Stella add sparkle.

Do go check out the rest of the Just Add Ink DT projects, you'll love them, and then come back and join us in the challenge!

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

JAI 246 Just add giving

Hello there,
I hope you all had a lovely Christmas day spending it with family and friends enjoying some yummy food and company! We were lucky enough to do that :) We have now moved on to the recovery period which involves more eating and spending time with the kids helping them work out, construct, read etc their Christmas presents. It's a time of year I enjoy very much!

We have one final challenge for you all this year at Just Add Ink and it's to Just Add Giving a lovely idea proposed by Mae, a former DT member. We'd really like to see what you made as special gifts for people in your life to thank them for their love, support, friendship and company. 

As the Just Add Ink team will be taking a little summer break till January 23rd this won't be a judged challenge - but we encourage you to share you wonderful projects with other crafters and link up your projects.

I have a fairly simple little project for you today - but then that's what you need in the lead up to Christmas!

A close up

I made quite a few of these delightful little boxes, but kept it fun and fresh for me by making them in a whole range of different colour ways. I was quite astonished with how much chocolate you could actually fit into these! The tag is almost bigger than the boxes but I was still having so much fun playing with my Festival of Trees set and punch that I just had to dress up the boxes.

For a little time on my part and a whole lot of inky fun I also had the added bonus of making people smile when they received one of these!

Go check out what the rest of the DT made as special gifts this year and please do join us in sharing what you made this year!

Happy New Year to you all and I'll see you in 2015 with the Just Add Ink's annual blog hop challenge on January 23rd. 

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
