JAI #142 Sketch Challenge


Hello All,

This week's Challenge at Just Add Ink is a sketch challenge, which I've decided to play along with.  Last week, I received an Honorable Mention for my card in the colour challenge, so I was pretty stoked about it.  You can view the post here.

I've made a square card this time.  Here's my entry for this week's challenge. 

The base of my card is Naturals Ivory cardstock with Soft Suede and Marina mist and a little Beau Chateau dsp underneath the Lattice.  I've left this card without a greeting so it can be used for any purpose so I've just realised I didn't add any ink.  It's a Bigshot card using Square Scallop Die, Lattice Die and Delicate Designs Embossing folder. The sketch for the challenge is below. 

Thanks for taking a look and please feel free to leave me a comment and browse around my blog.

    This is a beautiful card Carolyn. I love the way you've got the dsp showing through the lattice. I was so tempted to buy that die, but restrained myself :) You may have just inspired me to spend some more money! Thanks for playing along with us at JAI this week.

      Thanks Kathy, the die was pretty high on my wish list when our Annual Catalogue went live.

    Great card Carolyn. I love the lattice die you've used and really like the DSP poking through from behind. Thanks for joining it with us at JAI this week.

    This is such a pretty card Carolyn! I love the combination of colours you've used on your card and your use of the lattice die with the hint of the Beau Chateau (love this DSP, I've still got one full pack!) Congrats on your HM last week and thanks for playing along with Just Add Ink this week!

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. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
