JAI # 141 Colour Challenge



Hi Everyone,

It's time for a colour challenge at Just Add Ink.  Here are the colours



I love this combination of colours and could think of lots of ways to use them.  In the end though, I decided on a pretty vintage card using the Apothecary Art stamp set, Labels Framelits and Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder for this recessed window card.  I brayered inside the embossing folder with wisteria wonder ink before I put the panel through the Bigshot.  This adds more depth.  On the stamped image I firstly coloured some of the flowers with white gel pen to show up on the crumb cake and when dry, coloured over the white with Wisteria Wonder marker.  I've added tiny pearls to the centre.  I have 2 greetings on the card, the Happiest Birthday on the outer and Wonderful You on the inside from the Loving Thoughts set.

Here's my card


and photos of the detail closeup and the inside



Thanks for looking.  I hope you enjoy this week's entry to the JAI challenge.  Don't forget to leave me a comment if you like what you see.

    Wow...that's pretty! Love those little blossoms and the effect of coloured crumbcake. The dual sentiments is such a clever idea too Carolyn.
    Thanks for playing along at JAI.

    Carolyn, this is GORGEOUS!! I love the depth of colour achieved by brayering the same colour of ink, as the card, on your embossing folder - brilliant. All of the little flowers are divine, and there are so many lovely details to look at on this card. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink :)

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
