Just Add Ink Challenge - JAI#161

Hello Everyone,

I'm joining in the the Colour challenge at Just Add Ink, with the colour combo below


I've been going through my stash of late trying to use some of the old retired products, so I was happy to find this challenge with Rich Razzleberry in it and a piece of Cottage Garden (I think that was the name of it) dsp, which I've used on my background.  Back in the day, that pack of Dsp was one of my favourites.  I've stamped with Fabulous Florets and handcut the blossoms which I've raised on Pop dots and my greeting is framed with an oval frame from the Silver Hodgepodge Hardware.  That's another retired product (tick). 

I've used the Delicate Designs embossing folder on a piece of Midnight Muse card as a border and also wrapped a little Midnight Muse ribbon around some Whisper White Card which has been embossed with the Square Lattice embossing folder.  My Label framelit is also raised on Pop Dots.

This is definately a colour combination that I would never have used on my own if it wasn't for the challenge.  Considering More Mustard is a retiring colour, it was great to use it again (as my inkpad for this colour is a new foam pad and still like new).

Thanks so much for looking.  Have a great day.

    Carolyn I need to go back through my stash and use up my retired DSP. At the time Cottage Garden was one of my favourites too and it sets off your flower theme well. Thanks for playing at 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.

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
