JAI #346: Just Add Two

Hi!


Welcome back to another week of challenges at Just Add Ink.  This week Nikki has challenged us to Just Choose Two.




http://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2017/02/just-add-ink-346just-choose-two.html

What do we mean by Just Choose Two? Easy - you just choose two of the named elements and incorporate them into your card. This week you have the choice of hearts, flowers or butterflies. Can you see what I have chosen? The two elements are both on the front of my card. Look closely!



To create my card I had a bit of a play with water. I spritzed my Whisper White cardstock all over and then stamped the solid stamps from Garden In Bloom. I used Sweet Sugarplum and Old Olive. Once the cardstock dried - I left it overnight - I stamped over the top of the flowers and leaves with the outline stamps in the same ink. The water really softened the solid images.

Have you seen the butterflies yet? Take a close look at the next picture.



If you look really closely, you can see that I embossed the cardstock using my Fluttering TIEF. The easiest butterfly to see in this picture is just to the left of the sentiment, where the two leaves are. Can you see it? The vertical leaf runs through the middle of the embossed butterfly.






Just in case you can't see them on the front, I added a couple of extra butterflies to the inside of the card.


Which two elements will you choose? There are a few different combinations you could choose, and I can't wait to see what you do. Link up to the challenge over at Just Add Ink. See you there!


Bye for now,


Tina

JAI #277: Just Add Colour

Hi!

This week at Just Add Ink we have a colour combination put together by Kim.


My first thought was that the combo would make a great baby card, but in the end I went for something totally different


I went for a tone on tone Mint Macaron base.  It's a great option when you want to add a layer to your card without making it really obvious.  I embossed the layer with the Fluttering TIEF.  I love that this one is a square so that you can emboss in either direction.


The butterfly from Watercolour Wings is stamped in two layers of So Saffron and a top layer of Calypso Coral. Just don't look too closely at how badly I lined it all up!


I did a much better job of lining it up on the inside!

I hope you can find the time to play along with us this week at Just Add Ink.

Bye for now,

Tina
