 Hi!

I had a bit of time up my sleeve this weekend, so I thought that I'd play along with Freshly Made Sketches. Here's their current sketch.

EDIT: How exciting, my card was selected by Jen B as a Princess of Clean!

I play the Bass Clarinet in a concert band, and we have been learning some of the movements from The Lord Of The Rings: Symphony No 1, so naturally I have been reading the books, which lead to watching the movies. Of course, I have to colour while watching, which lead to this card!

The wizard is from Size Doesn't Matter, by Kindred Stamps. The little traveller is also a Kindred Stamps image, but from a set called The Journey Prequel, as is the sentiment. Both were coloured with my Copic markers.

The mountains are a Hello Sweetums Die, called Mountains Of Fun. I coloured behind them using some Wild Honey Distress Oxide and a blending brush.

On the inside I used a third Kindred Stamps set, called Forrest Elves. This time the Distress Oxide used was Salty Ocean.

Now I'm off to play, read, watch and colour some more! 

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI #503: Just Choose Two

Hi!

Welcome to a new week of Just Add Ink challenges. This week Nikki is asking us to Choose Two.

To make it simple, you just need to make a card that uses two of either Stencils, Pencils or Patterned Paper. Easy! I went with Stencils and Pencils this week, mostly because I liked that it rhymes!

I started with a piece of Shimmery White cardstock and a stencil from Kindred Stamps called Dragon Scales. I used my Sponge Brayers with Mint Macaron ink to roll on the ink so that it's a little darker at the bottom of the card. This was attached to a Basic Grey card base. The card really shimmers, but I couldn't quite catch that in my photos, but I thought it was perfect for the dragon scale effect.

The wizard was stamped in Memento ink On Whisper White card. He's from another Kindred Stamps set, called Size Doesn't Matter. I coloured him using my Watercolour Pencils, in Basic Black, Basic Grey, Calypso Coral and Early Espresso. As always, the colour is blended with my Wink Of Stella pen. The sentiment was heat embossed with White Embossing Powder on a piece of Basic Grey, stuck flat to the card, and then the wizard was popped up over the top. A few sequins finished the front.

I made this card to give to my husband, Rob, as we celebrated our 18th Wedding Anniversary earlier this month. I couldn't resist adding this character to the inside, as it fits so well with the sentiment! Rob loved the card, thankfully.

That's all from me this week! We are still staying safe at home, and South Australia just recorded 8 days in a row with no COVID-19 cases. That's pretty exciting news! In more exciting news, you can pop over to the Just Add Ink blog, where you'll find the rest of this weeks cards, and the link to add your card in to the challenge. Which two will you choose?

Bye for now,

Tina
