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.

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

  3. 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!
