Just Add Ink - #192 Colour challenge

Hello Everyone,

How are you today?  I'm a little out of sorts as I'm trying to watermark my photographs with a different system on the laptop, rather than the PC where I usually work, because my husband is home tonight and has taken custody of it, LOL!  You'll have to forgive me that my post is a little late.

The latest challenge that I'm joining in with at Just Add Ink this week is a colour challenge.




I'm going for CAS with this card here using my favourite Butterfly dies, Beautiful Wings and Beautiful Butterflies layered together.


I've used the Tangerine Tango for the base of my card, layering with Whisper White and Island Indigo and using the Window Framelits to cut out the frame through the the Tangerine to sit my butterfly on.  The Island Indigo card has been embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder and the greeting comes from the Itty Bitty Banners set.



Here is a closer look at the butterfly, finished with some pearls in the centre.

Thanks so much for stopping by today to view my card.  Please go and check out what the talented team have designed as well.  There are some truly beautiful samples there.

Have a great day.

      Thanks Narelle, the colour combo is not one I would normally go with.

    Love your bold clean use of the colours Carolyn, the fancy fan embossing adds the perfect touch of texture. Thanks, as always for joining in at JAI.

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...

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...
