JAI 782: Choose Two Or More

 Hi!

Welcome to the new Just Add Ink challenge. This time around, it's a Choose Two Or More challenge, with the options suggested by Lou.

There are *lots* of different ways to embellish your card on that list! I went deep diving through my stash, and in the dark, dusty depths I found a handful of flower rhinestone brads, which gave me my two choices in one embellishment. My friend Rachel said to me once: work smarter, not harder!

The different colours in the brads made me think of a rainbow, which decided my paper choice for me. The dotty paper and both rainbow papers are from the Sunshine And Rainbows DSP pack. Aren't they so bright and happy?

The sentiment is from the Saying Something Ephemera Pack. It's so handy for quick and easy cards, and works really well with the colours in the DSP.

I used another of the ephemera sentiments on the inside of my card, over the top of a scrap of DSP from the front. I love it when a card comes together so easily!

Which two (or more!) will you choose from the selection we have given you for our challenge? So many fun options, it's going to be tricky to make a choice! When you're ready, pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll see what the rest of the Design Team chose. You can also add your card to our challenge gallery.

Bye for now,

JAI 777: Just Add Something Seasonal

 Hi!

Welcome back to a new year of Just Add Ink Challenges. As is our tradition, we are starting the year with a blog hop of the Design Team. It's so much fun! We'd love for you to hop around all of our blogs to see what we've made to inspire you.

For our challenge, we are asking you to make Something Seasonal. Yay for me, we are currently in Summer. I find that much easier to make in a card than the other seasons. I guessed that if I lived somewhere that got snow, I might find that easy too, but I don't live in a snowy region.

I decided to use my long-forgotten Ephemera Packs to make my card. I spent a few hours tidying my craft space last week and stumbled over them. I used both the Something For Everyone and the Saying Something packs. It was really hard to narrow down what I wanted to use! 

I started with a layer of DSP from the Dandy Designs DSP on a Thick Whisper White card base. The ice cream, sun and frame are all from the Something For Everyone pack. I used my Wink Of Stella pen to add some shimmer to the ice cream. Sadly, it can't be seen in the photo. The sentiment is from the Saying Something pack. A scattering of sequins finished off the front of the card.

The ice cream on the inside got the same shimmer as the other one - it's so pretty in real life! The Ephemera Packs make crafting so easy. I definitely won't forget them for so long again.

The next stop on the hop is my lovely friend, Narelle. Pop on over to her blog to see her Summery card.

We can't wait to see which season you choose to add to your card. When you're ready, add your card to the Linky over on the Just Add Ink blog. If any of the links are broken along the way, just head to the blog to pick up the link to the next blog from there.

Bye for now,
