Hi!
Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink Challenge. This week Kelly has designed a really fun sketch for us to use.
What do you think of when you see the sketch? I am quite a logical person, and I like the orderliness of the grid. It made me think of a die that I'd purchased recently, but had yet to use. It's the Circle Coverplate Die, from Uniquely Creative.
You didn't think I'd cut all those circles individually, do you? LOL! The die cuts them all at once, and the stitched border too. The stars were cut individually though, using the Stitched Stars Dies. I used Magenta Madness, Basic Black and Silver Foil.
When I was finished adding all the stars, I realised that there wasn't really a good place for a sentiment. I tried a few different things, but nothing that I was happy with. In the end, I just left it blank. The repeated stars and the bold magenta make enough of a statement, that I think a sentiment isn't really necessary.
I didn't have a suitable sentiment for the inside, so I used my retired Labeller Alphabet stamps to create my own. The star die was used to create the opening to allow the magenta to peek through. I'm not sure what I'll use this card for, but like for my daughter next time she dances in a performance. The colours fit her dance studio colours perfectly!
Please head on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Design Team cards. You can also enter your card in our challenge - what do you see in the sketch?
Bye for now,
Tina
This is the PERFECT die for this sketch, & so great that it does all the stitching details too. I'm so glad you used it. Loving the bright pop of Magenta (I'm yet to use that one myself). x
ReplyDeleteHi Tina, I am so happy to find you again. I CASEd one of your cards from OnStage Sydney and have been waiting until I could find your last name so I could give you credit. I could remember Tina but could not remember the last name. Now I will be able to do my blog post.😊 Shirley Gentry
