Just Add Ink #191

Hello Everyone,


Welcome to the challenge for   Just Add Ink this week.  Its a sketch challenge by Delys with this layout below.
JAI 191
I've used a stamp set called Friendship Preserves to create a Thank you card.  This one is a little novel, saying Thanks a Bunch and features some grapes within the artwork.  Quite cute I think.  I've cut the image out with the Window Framelits and layered it onto the next size and I have a paper doily background here for the sketch.  

The cardstock used is Raspberry Ripple, Concord Crush (retired) and Old Olive.  I spent a bit of time colouring rubber with markers before stamping to achieve the multi coloured image here and I've embossed the Old Olive background with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.  The card was finished the some of the Raspberry Ripple ribbon.

Thanks so much for calling in to see my card.  Have a wonderful Sunday.

    I love how you coloured the stamp up Carolyn - it would have been a tricky job! It really complements the colours you chose wonderfully. Thanks for joining us 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

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
