JAI 566: Just Add A Frame

 Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. This week Jan has challenged us to Add A Frame to our cards.

I never like to do things the expected way, and I remembered a digi stamp I'd purchased ages ago that suits this challenge perfectly. It's very cheeky, but a whole lot of fun! My frame element is a walking frame!

The digi stamp is from Dr Digi and is called Duncan Disorderly. Isn't it funny? I printed him onto cardstock and coloured him with my Copic markers. I enjoyed colouring, but boy, did those studs on his belt and wristband test my eyes! The sentiment is from a Kindred Stamps set, called Rock On.

To create the background, I used my Heffy Doodle Zapp Attack Stencil to add Real Red ink to some Real Red cardstock. Nice and simple, and it doesn't detract from the main image.

I also went simple on the inside, with another sentiment from Rock On. Now I just have to work out who this card might be suitable for! It was my husband's birthday last week, but he didn't seem keen on receiving this card!

That's all from me tonight, but please do jump on over to the Just Add Ink blog. You'll find the rest of this week's Design Team cards there, as well as the Linky for you to add your card to. How will you interpret our challenge?

Bye for now,

Tina

JAI 565: Just Add Colour

 Hi!

Thanks for joining me for the new Just Add Ink challenge. It's a colour challenge this week, suggested by Lou.

Aren't the two new In Colours wonderful together? I love the drama that the black adds to the mix. Having said that, I used black very minimally on my card!

I started with my Pale Papaya background, created with my Blending Brushes and a template created using my retired Rainbow Builder Dies. The word 'thanks' is a retired SU, from the Greetings Thinlits set. My peachy princess is from a Kindred Stamps set, called Plumber Brothers, and she's coloured with a mix of Copics and Stampin' Blends. Her hair is Dark Pale Papaya and her dress is Polished Pink.

My favourite part of the card is very hard to photograph! I wanted to add some sun rays, but I couldn't add another colour to the mix. My solution was to lay my Heffy Doodle Zapp Attack Stencil over the card and 'colour' through the openings with my Wink Of Stella pen. It's so sparkly in real life, but I had no chance of capturing it in a photo, sadly. You might be able to see a little bit of sparkle to the left of the princess.

The friend that I am making this for was kind enough to use her embroidery machine to make a label for the quilt that I made for my oldest son, so it was a great excuse to break out my Altenew Crafty Life stamp set for the inside sentiment. I'll be excited to get the label so that I can finish the quilt!

That's all from me for this week! You can see the cards that the rest of the Design team have made over on the Just Add Ink Blog. We've all had a lot of fun with these colours, and I'm sure that you will too. You can link up your card on our blog - I can't wait to see what you do with them!

Bye for now,

Tina
