Just Add Ink #404 Shaker



Hello there, 
this week at Just Add Ink we have a really fun challenge for you. Di has asked us to Just Add a Shaker. There lots of ways to make shakers, and so many different fun things you can add to be shaken - confetti, sequins, micro beads, glitter. 


Here's what I came up with.



This one was made for a friend who loves tulips and teal and of course the jar was the perfect place for a shaker! As you can see it was all about the colouring, so I kept the rest fairly monochromatic, adding in some texture and sparkle using Shimmery embossing paste and grounding my jar of flowers on a little woodgrain shelf. I really enjoyed the chance to just sit down and colour in lots and lots of flowers!

The Just Add Ink DT have a really fun and creative array of shakers to show you so please go check them out, and then come back and join in the challenge.

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
