Hello there,
welcome to the Colour INKspiration 07 blog hop. If you are hopping your way around the blog hop, you will have arrived from Denita Wright's blog and I'm sure you were delighted by her project! 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 or banner up top to be redirected and ask to join the group, that way you can load your projects directly to the Facebook group and join in the fun every 2nd and 4th Wednesday.
I always package up some Easter eggs for my kids and this year the chooks from the (now retired) Saleabration set were just irresistible! This year I made some tags to go on glassine bags filled with pastel candy coated chocolate eggs.
Close up of the tags.
I used watercolour paper for my chickens and also for their nests. One of the Swirly Bird dies was just the perfect overlay to add detail and colour to a nest full of candy coloured eggs. The tags are easy to detach to minimise destruction in the pursuit of chocolate!
The challenge runs till April 24th. Hope you can join us ! Now next up, on the blog hop is Jacque Williams in New Zealand. Enjoy!

Hello there,
brr it's cold outside - we had our first frost this week and thick fog! There is an upside though - snugly doonas and hot chocolates while you watch a movie matinee with the kids on the weekend :) The challenge we have for you at Just Add Ink this week is filled with warm colours. This week Di has suggested we Just Add Inspiration. Here's the picture - you can take the colours, patterns, or elements whatever inspires you and use that as the basis for your project this week. Hope you play along with us!
Here's what I came up with.
The inside
All those lovely round fruits gave me the perfect excuse to pull out some new toys - the dies to match Swirly Bird. First I laid down a rich layer of water colouring. Once that was dry I splashed some water drops over, dried it again, and then added a fine splatter of gold Wink of Stella. I cut three swirls from Shimmer White cardstock and gold embossed a portion on each. I embellished those with a little clusters of tiny swirl flowers. A sentiment banner with hand stitched edging finished it all off.
I don't normally lean towards using oranges and purples so this was a nice change and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
Don't forget to stop past the rest of the DT for some fabulous inspiration!
Thanks for visiting,
Kim
