Circle Of Spring Butterflies

Hi!


Do you sometimes forget about your old favourites in the rush of new products? I know I do! It's often worth Getting them out and looking at them with new eyes. In this case, I pulled out my Fringing Scissors.

The colour combo is Dapper Denim, Peekaboo Peach and Whisper White. Don't they look great together? I love the way the fringing adds a fun, flirty touch to the front of the card.

The Thick Baker's Twine is a great way to finish a card, and is very cost effective. Bonus!

I quite like this colour combo - I think it would make a great masculine card too. What do you think?

Bye for now,

JAI #317: Just Add Colour

Hi!


Yes, it's that time of the week again!

 This week Kim has put together a fantastic colour combination for our Just Add Ink challenge.

What a lovely collection of pinks and yellow/greens. I immediately thought florals, but when I looked at my new stamp sets I suddenly got a flash of inspiration.

I've used the new set, Mixed Drinks to create a row of cocktail-looking drinks. I stamped the glasses and was all set with my inkpads and blender pens to colour to get the look of the liquid, when I realised the stamp set had a liquid stamp. So easy!

After I'd finished stamping I went over the drinks with my clear Wink Of Stella pen to give them a bit of shimmer. Hopefully you can see it in the Rose Red cocktail on the left. I stamped the background of the card with another new stamp set - Playful Background. I thought the bubble-like stamp might help invoke thoughts of bubbly cocktails.

The cocktail on the inside is Flirty Flamingo. LOL, I just realised that Flirty Flamingo could be a cocktail name!


The rest of the Design Team at Just Add Ink have made some stunning cards this week using Kim's gorgeous colour combination. You can head over to the blog to check them out.

JAI #310: Just Add A Sketch

Hi!


Here we are, another Friday, which means another Just Add Ink challenge - are you ready?

This week it's my challenge, and I have a sketch for your inspiration. Take a peek at this:

What do you think? I decided to go off on a bit of a tangent and use a different shape for my card.

I also decided to turn it into an easel card. To get the octagonal shape I die cut a square using my Squares Collection Framelits. I then turned the framelit and ran it through the Big Shot again. Easy!

The flowers were stamped using the Petite Petals stamp set in Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz and Blackberry Bliss, which I stamped off first. Small pearls in the centre of each flower finish each flower off.

I used some of the new Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper on the front of my card. It's so pretty!

The Just Add Ink Design Team have done a fantastic job, as usual, with the sketch. You can see their cards on the Just Add Ink blog.


Bye for now,
