Just Add Ink #189 - Colour Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Firstly, I want to thank the girls at JAI for choosing my card in their picks here for last week.

This week I wanted to play along with the Colour Challenge this week at Just Add Ink as it's quite an unusual combo, but I really like it.


This is the card I've made today.  I've used some Naturals Composition dsp which has been brayered with Raspberry Ripple ink and cut out with the Square Scallop die.



My cardstock is Crumb Cake for the base wth Perfect Plum and I've used some Whisper White stamped with Perfect Plum ink for the Chalk Talk label and Papillon Potpourri Butterfly and the greeting from Chalk Talk was inked in Whisper White Craft Ink onto Raspberry Ripple card.

Here is the layered Chalk Talk Label.


Thanks for stopping by today to see my entry for the JAI challenge.  Please feel free to drop me some comments.  I love hearing from you.

    Brayering the Raspberry Ripple ink over the DSP really makes the pattern 'pop', Carolyn - very nice! Love the little white butterfly to balance out the bold panel, too. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink this week. :)

    Love this Carolyn! The brayered neutrals square looks fabulous. Yes, we must've been on the same page today :-) similar stamps and timing and all but I prefer your card. Well done on your win last week too!

    What a lovely background Carolyn - I love the colour of it against the R.Ripple - and I like the shinyness of it too. Chantell JAI

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

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
