JAI #232: Just Add Inspiration!

Hi!

How did you like our colour combination last week?  It was a fantastic combo!  This week we have just as fabulous a challenge for you at Just Add Ink.  Kim has found these gorgeous pictures to inspire our creativity.

Aren't they pretty?  I really loved how the flowers are the vibrant pink with the gold through them as well, so that's what I started with on my card.

I made some simple scrunched flowers using my scallop circle punch.  I took some Strawberry Slush cardstock and punched the scallop circles.  Next I scrunched the cardstock to soften it and then I split the cardstock to make it thinner and give it a suede, soft look.  I also punched some of the new Natural Filter Paper with the same punch and then layered it in between the layers of cardstock.  I was really pleased with how these flowers turned out!

The do make the card quite bulky though, so it will be a hand delivered card only!

I really like how the inside turned out too!

I hope you can play along with us this week at Just Add Ink!  See you over there on the blog.

Bye for now,

Tina

A Blendies RAK

Hi!

A little while ago I participated in a weekend cybercrop.  It was fun to create all weekend and participate in some challenges while in my PJ's.  Part of the fun was getting to bond over the internet with team members in all parts of Australia.  One of the challenges we were set was to create a card and send it to another team member.

I had a Blended Bloom image coloured with the Rich Razzleberry Blendabilities sitting on my desk, so I decided it was the perfect time to turn it into a card.  Also sitting on my desk was the new Dots and Stripes Decorative Masks, so I decided to make use of  the Dots mask too.

I sponged over the mask with some retired Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I really like the streaky look it achieved.

I was pleased to find out that the recipient had been having a bad week and that the card really cheered her up. I was glad I selected her when I heard that!

Bye for now,

Tina
