JAI #190 - Just Add Masking


Hello Everyone,

How are we all this Monday?

Mine turned a little pear shaped today.  Breaking down while driving the girls to school, in the busy morning traffic on a bridge with no passing lane is not my idea of a fun start to the day.  I had to be pushed off the bridge and then waited for a Tow Truck to the local RACQ office, which in reality is just around the corner, a very short walk, but I needed to stay with the vehicle and call my Father in Law in to take the girls to school.  For the mechanical minded the RACQ think it's an electronic fault, a Crank Angle Sensor.  Well that went in one ear and out the other without any comprehension from me, so I had him write it down, so that I could share that little bit of news. LOL!

For today's card I'm playing along with the Just Add Ink Masking challenge.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this card, but my friend Justin had a good idea of sponging a masked area, so I decided to run with that as well.  I don't mind a bit of sponging having just done some multiple coloured effects on yesterday's card.

This is what I came up with.  It's a One layer card using the Magnificent Maple single stamp and Thank You greeting from Perfectly Penned stamp set.  The Ink colours used are Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz over a base of Very Vanilla Card.

This is a very quick and simple card.  I've used Post It Notes to mask my retangular panel, then sponged the inks, removed the Post Its and then stamped.  I'm happy with the pretty colours here.

Gotta love when an idea comes together so quickly.



The card was finished with some Perfect Plum ribbon.

An update on my car as of this afternoon is that it's not ready yet and I had to borrow my Father in Law's car to pick up the children from School.   Thanks for stopping by on my drama filled Monday.

    This is really lovely, Carolyn - the colours are gorgeous! I must admit that I gasped when I read that you "had to be pushed off the bridge" ... glad it was to safety, and not over the edge! LOL. Thanks for entering your lovely card in this week's Just Add Ink challenge. :)

      Thanks Christine, maybe I didn't phrase that too well. It was enough to drive me over the edge, LOL! I

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.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
