Just Add Ink #175


#175 - Sketch


Hello Everyone,

The challenge at Just Add Ink this week is a sketch by Mae


Here is my card made with the sketch.

 

I've used the Chalk Talk bundle, Papillon Potpourri and Label Something stamp sets.  My Cardstock is Bermuda Bay, Basic Black and Smokey Slate.  This is also the first time I've used my Black Chevron Ribbon.  The Black background of my card was embossed with the Beautifully Barouque embossing folder and once embossed, I brushed over it with my Whisper White inkpad.  I've also used some designer paper from the pack Eastern Elegance printed in the Coastal Cabana colour, which I first cut with the framelit and then mat onto some more Bermuda Bay card.


I had a lot of fun choosing the elements and colours for this card and while I was at it, I made another using this same sketch which I'll share tomorrow.  Thanks very much for stopping by.

Enjoy your weekend.

    Love the colour combination and that effect of the Whisper White ink rubbed over the black embossed paned. Thanks for playing with our sketch this week at Just Add Ink.

      Thanks very much Mae. It's a fun technique getting a little messy with the Whisper White ink and highlights the embossing.

    Wow Carolyn! This card is soooooo striking with all that black. Love the effect of the WW ink rubbed over your embossing - I initially thought you'd used core'dinations cardstock and then sanded it! (but then again I've got not idea about techniques!) Thanks for joining us 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. 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
