JAI #238: Just Add A Sketch

Hi!

Happy Halloween, for those that celebrate the holiday. I don't really, but Rob and the kids do, so celebrate it I must!  Anyway, it's time for another Just Add Ink challenge, and this time Kim has designed a great sketch to inspire our creativity.

I had lots of fun with this sketch.  I cut quite a few Word Bubbles and played around with the positioning of them on the card.  None of it looked right though until I added the On Film film strip underneath.

The Tangello Twist background was created using the zig zag stamp out of Work Of Art, just stamped repeatedly.  I was quite impressed with how well I was able to line it up without the use of my Stamp-a-ma-Jig!

I was able to use the Word Bubbles I'd cut for the front and not used on the inside.  I hate to waste things, so it was a great solution!

I hope you have time to play along with us this week. The Design Team has had a lot of fun with the sketch.  Why don't you pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog to have a look?

Bye for now,

Tina

Retro Fresh Butterflies

Hi!

Today I have a card for you that I made as a class sample in February.  I wanted to show that you could use the Retro Fresh range to make a feminine card.  I love the Retro Fresh colours, but they do tend to lean more on the masculine side.

Off The Grid and the Retro Fresh Washi Tape provide a lovely background for the layered butterfly.  The white space around the elements gives the card a clean, fresh feel.

I repeated a lot of the elements from the front of the card on the inside.  I always think it's a nice surprise to open a card that is stamped on the inside too.

I hope you're having a great start to the week.  It's the first week of school holidays here, so in amongst all of the activities I have planned for the kids I'm hoping to squeeze in some more stamping time.  I'm about two thirds of the way through my Paris album and I'd love to get it finished this holidays.

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI #199: Just Add A Sketch

Hi!

It's Friday again, time for another Just Add Ink challenge.  This time it's a sketch, and it's one I designed for the team to use.

As I'd just received my preorder for Sale-A-Bration and the upcoming Occasions Catalogue I decided to have a play with some of the new products.

There's a few sneak peeks there!  Not long now 'til the catalogues go live and you can get your hands on this stuff too.

It's a bit hard to tell, but once I'd finished the front of the card I spritzed it all with some shimmer mist for a bit more 'pretty'.

There's that belated birthday stamp again!

I hope you can play along this week. Interpret the sketch as you will - it's just a guide for your creativity.

Bye for now,

Tina
