Hi!
Welcome back to another wonderful year of Just Add Ink challenges. As we do every year, we kick off the new challenges with a blog hop. Hopefully you've either started the hop here, or arrived from Tristan Dawes' blog. Either way, just keep on hopping until you get back to where you started.
For this challenge we are asking you to Just Add Your Favourite.... whatever you'd like! It could be your favourite colour, theme, stamp set - your imagination is the limit. I recently purchased a new stamp set that is based on one of my all-time favourite movies, The Sound of Music. It's from Scrappy Boy Stamps, and is called Climb Every Mountain.
I decided to recreate the iconic opening scene, and thought that a Bridge Fold Card would give my card the perfect dimension for the scene. I started by masking a horizon line and then stamping the mountains across the width of the card. These were ink using a blending brush and lots of masking. While the masks were in place, I also inked the sky using a template made from the cloud line die from the Basics Borders Dies. The trees are from Snowfront. The grass was also masked and inked. I splattered gold ink over the top, trying to get the look of flowers in the grass.
Maria was coloured using my Copic markers, as were the Edelweiss blooms.
The mountain part of the scene was recreated on the back of the card, where a message can be written to the recipient.
That's all from me and my favourite movie. Hmm, now I feel like watching it! While I go do that, please do keep going around our hop by jumping on over to Fiona Bradley's blog. I love her take on the favourite theme!
When you've finished hopping, get creating! You can link your card up for our challenge over on the Just Add Ink blog. So long, farewell!
Bye for now,
Tina
