JAI #524: Just Add Colour

 Hi!


Hooray for Friday - and even better, this Friday marks the start of school holidays here in South Australia. I'm very much looking forward to lazy mornings/days with the kids!

This week for the new Just Add Ink challenge, Jo had given us a fabulous colour combination to work with.


I like the two different shades of pink with the mint green. I decided to do a sponged background with the pinks, and go from there with my card.

I used blending brushes to add the colour to a piece of Whisper White card, starting with the Rococo Rose. I then added Merry Merlot around the edge and finished by flicking some Frost White Shimmer Paint over the top.

The tree/hill die is from the Home Together Dies. I coloured the trees using my Dark Mint Macaron and Bronze Stampin' Blends (just a little colour cheat there!). Finally the sentiment and polar bear from Warm & Toasty finished off the card.

I couldn't resist using the baby polar bear on the inside. I used the blending brushes again to add a little colour to the corner of the card and layered the bear over the top. This certainly isn't my usual style Christmas card, but I love how it turned out.

The rest of this week's Design Team cards can be found over on the Just Add Ink blog, were you can also link up your entry. Don't have these exact colours? That's ok - just use the closest match that you have.

Bye for now,

Tina
