Just Add Ink #136: Just Add Kids!

Hi!

It's Friday!!!!  Delys has come up with a fab challenge for us at Just Add Ink this week - Just Add Kids!  It's especially good timing for myself and Christine, as our youngest boys both had birthdays this week so we were able to kill two birds with the one stone.  Brilliant!

My little man Hudson is severely vision impaired and so I incorporated a lot of textures and contrasts into this card for him.  Basic Black and Daffodil Delight provide a strong contrast in colour for him. The bottom Daffodil layer has been embossed using the Chevron embossing folder for a bit of texture.  The 5 is cut from chipboard so it is raised from the card.  I painted it with crackle paint for a bit of added texture for his little fingers to find!

I pierced around the two Window Frame Framelits, although in hindsight I should have pierced from the back so he could feel the bumps more.  The truck is in two layers, popped up on Dimensionals, and the wheels have been covered in Crystal Effects for a bit more texture.  The card took a long time to make, but I'm very pleased with the outcome!

Another truck on the inside.  Yellow doesn't have much contrast on white, so I stuck with black and white for the inside.

I hope you can play along with us at Just Add Ink this week.  If you don't have a kid's birthday coming up, make a card anyway - they're always handy cards to have in the stash for when your children forget to give you the birthday invitation until the night before the party (or even worse, on the day of the party!).
