JAI#201 – Colour Challenge

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

This week at Just Add Ink is a colour challenge by Kim.

This certainly was a bit of a challenge for me ~ I don’t have anything Sahara Sand apart from one A4 piece of card stock and only the Ink Pad in Island Indigo, but I have managed to pull something together!

JAI#201

In our home, we don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day although our 7 year old is asking what it’s all about. Therefore, I thought I might just create a card with a bit of a love theme!!!  I love the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and coordinating framelits.

This is a simple card, but effective in what the message brings!

I drew the line with a blank pen and before adhering the banners with Tombo glue and the Hearts with dimensions so they stand out a bit further.

JAI#200 ~ Summer Flowers

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

This week at Just Add Ink is the challenge using the beautiful inspiration picture by Nikki.

This just yells summer to me with gorgeous yellows, greens & whites!

JAI#200

I don’t have anything so daisy like, but I love the Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating framelits. Initially I stamped the flowers in daffodil delight, but it didn’t have enough interest, so I used the technique called Kissing. To do this, you ink up the flower stamp with the Daffodil Delight ink, then ink up another stamp with Tangerine Tango ink. Press (KISS) the 2 stamps together before stamping the flower onto the white cardstock. Don’t you agree it gives more interest?

Here is a closer look!

Are you wondering how I created the background? I thought you may. I used the Simply Scored Tool and scored the crosshatch pattern. Then did the same on another scrap piece of card and cut part of it away to create a diamond template (see below). Line the template up on your cardstock and using a sponge dauber, sponge the ink in the bottom of each diamond!

I love this summery style although I am not so good in the heat. Is anyone else suffering with these days over 30 degrees? I like to hibernate and stay inside with the cooler on…. maybe it’s just my excuse to stay home and stamp!!!

JAI#199: Fresh Prints Happiness

craftwithkate

Hello Crafters,

This week, I am doing something out of the ordinary and having my first go at a sketch challenge at Just Add Ink! Yay me!!!!

Having never participated in a sketch before, I am very nervous and made a card that is not really my style. It is quite busy, when I usually make fairly clean style cards.

I have tried to stay with the circle elements, but have placed the ribbon to the opposite side.  Here’s what I came up with, using the beautiful Fresh Prints Designer Series paper. I love these colours together and when just had to have this paper stack.

JAI Challenge
