JAI 674: Just Add Colour

 Hi!

Welcome to the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have a colour challenge for you, suggested to us by Rochelle.

The first thing that came to mind was flowers, and the addition of Gold made me think of Christmas. In the end, I went a completely different direction!

How cute is this combi image? It's a digi stamp from Indulgy that I must have received as a freebie. I printed it on some Blending card and then coloured it with a mix of Stampin' Blends and Copics in the challenge colours. I had a gold marker that I used for the headlights, number plate and the logo on the front of the van.

The rest of the card was a bit of a mish-mash of bits and pieces in the challenge colours. I loved the striped ombre paper from the Bright & Beautiful DSP pack, and then I layered some cropped and embossed ovals over the top.

I had the foresight to print a smaller version of the van for the inside of my card. Usually, I forget and then can't be bothered to fire up my laptop and printer again. I coloured it in the same colours as the front. The sentiments that I used are from a retired SU set, called Driving By. I thought it worked well with the image!

That's all from me for now, but pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll find the rest of this week's Design Team cards. You'll also find the Linky for the challenge for when you're ready to add your card. What do you think you'll do with the colours?

Bye for now,

Colour Creations: Poppy Parade

 Hi!

Are you enjoying this week's Colour Creations Blog Hop? Poppy Parade is such a happy red! I was finally able to place an order, which scored me the Driving By stamp set as a Sale-A-Bration reward. I have a friend who has a restored Combi van that is red, so I used it for inspiration for my card tonight.

I used my Poppy Parade and Basic Black Stampin' Blends to colour the combi, which was then fussy cut.

The road is simply cropped using one of the Suit & Tie Dies, and then I used a white gel pen to hand draw the lane markings. If you don't have the S&T dies, there's a similar die in the All Dressed Up Dies.

I repeated the scene again for the inside, but oriented it to the left. I quite like stamping the sentiment at the bottom of the card rather than in the middle. Just something a little bit different!

That's all from me for this week's Blog Hop, but please do continue your way around our hop. Just keep going until you get back to where you started. The next cab off the ranks is my lovely friend, Christine Blain.

If you get stuck along the way, please jump on over to Catherine Proctor's blog. She's got a list of all participants, and you'll be able to pick up your trail again there.

Bye for now,

Tina
