Just Add Ink #186

Hello Everyone,

This week at Just Add Ink there is an inspiration challenge from Delys.
JAI 186 inspiration photo challenge 
Isn't this floral wreath gorgeous.  I was so inspired by this picture that I wanted to make a wreath on my card.  More aptly make my card a Wreath.  Here it is using the Daydream Medallions stamp set.

Its another Easel card, this time shaped with the Floral Framelits.  I'm calling it my Christmas Wreath Easel Card.   My cardstock is Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White and Raspberry Ripple.



This is a closer look at the front so you can see more of the detail.  I've Stamped the Daydream Medallion Stamp with Primrose Petals Ink onto the Whisper White card, then cut it out with the Floral Framelits.  I've also used the Boho Blossoms punch for the flowers which I've added.  The greeting in the Centre is from the stamp set Greetings of the Season.

For the base of my card, and to act as an anchor to stand up the Easel I've created a bow out of Oval punches and some dsp from the retired pack Patio Party.


Lastly I've also photographed this card from side on, so you can see how it sits.


I hope you like this one.  It's a bit different but I think I've captured the inspiration from the photo here.

Enjoy your week.

    The little Raspberry Ripple flowers, around the edges of the die cut, are so sweet, Carolyn. The sentiments is framed really nicely by the medallion stamp, too. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!

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

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
