Welcome to another week of Just Add Ink! This week Narelle has designed an awesome sketch for us to use. It's fabulous - certainly open to many different ways to interpret.
I started by brayering some Gorgeous Grape ink over a piece of the retired Shine On SDSP. The card is Kraft with a silver foil pattern, so the purple turned out very differently to how I expected. It's a lot closer to Fresh Fig. Oh well, it's still purple! I embossed a piece of Silver Foil with the Subtle DTIEF. I love how the texture looks a bit like rain, which certainly fits with the theme of my card!
To create the sentiment I pulled out my old typewriter. It took a few goes to get it right, as I typed too fast and I ended up with spaces in the middle of words. I got there in the end! My rock star is from a Kindred Stamps stamp set called Rock On. He was a fun one to colour! I used my Highland Heather, Basic Grey, Basic Black, Bronze and Ivory Blends to colour him. I also used a silver metallic sharpie to colour his guitar. I wasn't sure about those little triangles on his face - I thought maybe they were his collar, but perhaps it's meant to be facial hair? Anyone know?
I repeated the same elements on the inside. I really love the sparkly black ribbon, and I'm so glad it carried over from the Holiday Catalogue so that I can use it for a bit longer.
That's me done for this week, why not pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you can see the rest of this week's cards? You won't be disappointed!
Bye for now,
Tina
Wow, wow, wow Tina!! Such an absolute rock star card :-) I love how you were able to brayer over the DSP and matched it with the silver. Your typed sentiment/ lyrics are awesome and the man has a great likeness. (Yes, I think the triangles are collars too ). So awesome xx
