JAI 772: Colour & Inspiration

 Hi!

Welcome to the new Just Add Ink Challenge. We have changed to fortnightly challenges to give you more time to play along with us. This fortnight we have a fun Inspiration and Colour palette for you to play with.

This was a tricky one for me, as it screams Halloween, but I don't usually make and send Halloween cards. The witches hats on the cupcakes made me think of witches and wizards, and knowing my collection of pop culture stamps, you can probably guess where that led.

I started with the Witches & Wizards No 2 paper pack from Echo Park Paper Co. Both the background paper (which features witches hats and pumpkins) and the sentiment panel are from the pack. I love it when cards come together that easily!

The young wizard is from a Kindred Stamps set, called Wizard Friends. I coloured him with my Stampin' Blend markers and popped him up over the sentiment panel. To add a bit of bling, I dotted a small amount of glitter glue to the sparkles on the sentiment panel.

On the inside I used more stamps from the Wizard Friends set to decorate the inner. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. We'd love for you to play along with us. You can pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll find the rest of the Design Team cards. You'll also be able to link up your card to the challenge gallery using Mr Linky. Don't forget that you now have two weeks to get your entry in,

Bye for now,

 Hi!

EDIT: How exciting, my card was chosen as a Princess of Clean!

Just a quick post today with my entry for the current Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I've made a magical card this week!

The paper is from a couple of Echo Park Witches & Wizards packs. I thought that the shelves of books were a great choice for the three lines in the sketch. I've made the sketch a smaller component of the card, just for something different.

The stamped images are from one of the very first Kindred Stamps sets that I purchased, called Wizard Friends. It's long-retired now, but still has a treasured spot in my collection. I coloured her with my Copics. Hopefully you can see the swirl of stars that is very lightly stamped behind her.

I've stamped the same starry swirl behind the word 'Magical' on the inside of my card. I can hear a magical swishing sound every time I look at it, LOL! Of course, I added another shelf of books to the inside. I think that the Witch on the front of my card would agree with more books, not less.

Bye for now,

Tina
