JAI 784: Just Add A Sketch

 Hi!


Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week we have a sketch for you, designed by Tristan. The smaller circles made me think of bubbles, but I ended up going in a different direction with my card.


Would you believe that I used five different lots of dies on my card? I was a little surprised when I looked at my stack of supplies! I'd be very impressed if you can name them all.


I started by using Stitched Greenery to create the background of the card. I love the subtle texture it provides. Stitched Leaves was used to crop the leaves, and Pierced Blooms for the flowers. Stylish Shapes was used for the circle, and Textured Notes for the sentiment banner. Phew - did you know all of those?

I used most of the same supplies to finish off the inside of the card. I had a tiny offcut of the Stitched Greenery background, which I layered under another bloom and leaf. The sentiments that I used on my card, both front and inside, are from Simply Said. It felt a bit strange to only use one stamp set after all those sets of dies.but you have to draw the line somewhere!

We'd love to see what you do with this fortnight's sketch. You can see what the rest of the design team created over on the Just Add Ink blog. You'll also find our Linky there, where you an add your card to our challenge gallery.

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI 742L Just Add Inspiration

 Hi!


It's once again time for the new Just Add Ink challenge. Yay! This week we have an Inspiration 
Photo challenge, suggested to us by Nikki.


Oh, how I wish that I had a lovely space like this at my home! I am a complete black thumb, and my garden is not faring well in the near-drought conditions we are currently experiencing in South Australia.

I was inspired by the lush green leaves, and the pops of colour in the cushions. The cushions actually have birds on them, but I decided to add colour with a digi stamp from Stamp Anniething, called Springtime Girl. She was coloured in pinks, purples, browns and blues to match some of the colours in the photo.


It's difficult to see, but the Leaf Collection background, stamped in Garden Green, was cropped with one of the new Textured Notes Dies. They are going to be fun dies to play with! The 'celebrate' sentiment is from Simply Said, I just masked off the 'let's' part of it. I popped a scrap of Vellum behind the girl to help her pop out from the leafy background.


More leaves and another Simply Said sentiment complete the inside of the card.

We'd love to see what grabs you attention from the Inspiration Photo. You can see what the rest of the Design Team have made over on the Just Add Ink blog, where you can also add your card to our Linky.

Bye for now,

Tina
