Hi!
Welcome back to the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have an Inspiration photo, suggested to us by Nikki.
Isn't it fabulous? For some reason, I didn't see flowers, I thought of fireflies in a jar. The moody background made me think of a forest at night, full of magic and adventure.
I started my card by inking my background. I used So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Bermuda Bay and Night Of Navy to get the graduation I was after. I then chopped into the base - 1 1/4 inches from each side, to create the base for a Spanner Panel fold card. The trees were added to the front, and allowed to overhang the cuts. The curved ground pieces were added to hide the bottom of the trees, and to connect the two edge pieces.
The front piece folds back to revel the next part. Before I adhered all the trees, I inked the now-revealed outer parts of the card inside to match the card front. This way you still get a complete scene when the first part of the card is lifted. The ground is continuous across these three sections. The deer was a clip art silhouette that I printed and fussy cut. I wanted her to look like she's leading the way into the forest and adventure.
Finally, the inside of the card. I allowed the trees to overlap into the writing panel to soften the hard lines of the inking. I was quite pleased with how this turned out!
That's all from me for now, but please head on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Design team cards. You'll also be able to link up your card for our challenge there. What do you see in our Inspiration Photo? Your imagination is your limit!
Bye for now,
Tina
