JAI #382: Just Add Colour

Hi!

I hope you've had a lovely week. We've had a few hot days here in Adelaide, and I've loved it! Bring on summer!


During the week, I also created a card for this week's Just Add Ink challenge. It's a colour combo this week, suggested by Patrice.


Isn't it lovely - the yummy neutrals with the pop of Fresh Fig.

There's lots of different bits and pieces on this card. Do you create like that, or do you stick to one stamp set? I do a bit of both. In this case I've stamped with the flourish from Timeless Textures, the flowers from Oh So Eclectic and the sentiment from Jar Of Love. Chuck in some vellum, Black Thread, silver sequins, some Pick A Pattern Washi tape and leaf dies from Eclectic Layers, and you have a card!

I coloured the flowers with my Fresh Fig ink pad and a Blender Pen. I wanted a heavy concentration of colour at the base of the flower, fading to a super pale shade near the tips of the petals.

I used a lot of the same elements on the inside, but I opted to leave out the black elements, as they dominated too much in the smaller space I was decorating.

This was such a fun colour combination. You can see what the rest of the team have created over at Just Add Ink. You can also link up your card there when you're ready.

Bye for now,

A CASE of Washi

Hi!


No, my post title doesn't refer to a crate of Washi tape, CASE means Copy And Share Everything! Today's card is a CASE of a card, well, a few cards really, that my lovely Upline, Sue Madex, made. You can see her cards here. CASE simply means I saw Sue's card, I liked it, and so I made my version. Most important though, is that I've given credit where it's due and told you that it's Sue's design, not mine.



I chose to use the Playful Palette Designer Washi Tape pack. There are 5 different patterns to choose from. It's been a popular pack for classes - I'm up to my second pack already!



To get the washi even, I started from the bottom and placed about 4 strips. I then jumped to the top and placed another 2 or 3. I then filled in the gap in between with strips to make them fit. I made sure that the last strips sat underneath where the sentiment was going. This way any uneven gaps were mostly hidden by the sentiment!




I completed the card with another strip of Washi on the inside. I love the stuff - it's so cheap, but it makes a huge impact on a card.


Bye for now,


Tina

Moroccan Washi CAS CASE Card

Hi!


Phew, what a blog post title that is! Say that three times quickly - CAS CASE Card!!


Anyway, today's card is CASEd from this card by Bekka Prideaux. I found it during a search of washi tape cards on Google and instantly loved it.



I just love how it lets the Washi tape become the feature of the card



The twine adds a sweet little border between the Washi and the sentiment.




I added another little strip of Washi to the inside to complete the card.

Bye for now,


Tina
