Just Add Ink #169 - Inspiration Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Is it cold enough for you in your neck of the woods?  Definitely feels wintery here.

There is a fantastic picture for an inspirational challenge at Just Add Ink this week provided for us by Delys.  I loved the silouettes and the colours.  Here it is.


I've decided to pull out some Glossy Card to use while I still have a little stock left and do a background with the Baby Wipe Technique, where you basically add drops of reinkers onto a folded up wipe and swipe it across the glossy card and leave it to dry before stamping on it.

This is the result.


I've used Just Believe Stamp set stamped with Black Stazon ink over the coloured glossy card background and created a simple black based Easel Card.  On the base of the card I've used the Embossing folder from the Mosaic Bundle (available in July) on a strip of Whisper White card and added some punched Mosaics with the matching punch out of scrap glossy card and a Designer Builder a Brad, which also contains some of the glossy card.  I love how vibrant the colours looks using this technique.  My reinkers used were Orchid Opulence (retired), Wisteria Wonder, Marina mist and Rich Razzleberry.  Turned out a little more purple that the pinks in the inspiration picture above.

I also used the inked up Baby Wipe as an ink pad to stamp my little butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri set for a multicoloured effect.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I may be back with another entry for this challenge shortly, as I just couldn't stop at one piece of glossy card while I had ink on my baby wipe.

Have a great day.

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 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
