Just Add Ink 169 - Inspiration photo

Pin It

Well I'm off traveling for a few days for work so I've schedule this post just to make sure you don't miss out on getting a little bit of inspiration for the Just Add Ink challenge this week.

We've got such a fun inspiration picture for you to use, so pop over and check it out!

I must say that when I first saw the inspiration picture I was pretty unsure of what I should create. There are so many different ways that you can interpret this picture!!

Other than the picture the next starting point for me was the ruffled white ribbon tucked away in the background.  My BFF sent me some lovely happy mail last week and this was part of the beautiful wrapping - it's so cute how could I not reuse it!!! 

I had fun making splotches of champagne shimmer mist and ink for the panel behind the flowers!!

Here is the inspiration picture

I hope you find time to share your creation with us at Just Add Ink this week.

Happy weekend!!

Why hello!

We've had a long weekend here in Australia I've finally had time to play along with a few challenges :) Yippee

Today I played along with the Just Us Girls challenge #192 to use washi tape and the Friday Mashup #113 challenge to make a Girly project. 

I really had fun making this card because it uses my favourite colour - Pink!

I've used
Paper - Whisper White
Ink - Pink Pirrouette, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo
Stamp Set - Stippled Blossoms
Other: Washi tape, Champagne shimmer mist and Tim Holtz embossing folder


I hope you've had a lovely Monday and I'll pop back here later in the week with some inspiration for the Just Add Ink challenge.

Just Add Ink 165 - Woodgrain

Pin It

Hey everyone!

Sorry this post is little late but I thought I'd scheduled it for yesterday but I must have forgotten to do that part :P

Just Add Ink have a very different challenge this week - just add woodgrain!!
There are plenty of ways you can incorporate woodgrain in to your creation, just like the design team have done so pop on over and check them all out.

I thought woodgrain would really suit a masculine card and that's what I set out to make however I remember this pretty Stampin' UP! lace and thought it would look really nice too.  SO I ended up with a card that I'll give to my Mum for mothers day.  Does that ever happen to you... change of focus mid creation?? 

I'd really love to see your creation so please don't forget to link it up here.

I hope you have a lovely weekend

Just Add Ink 163 - Fun Background!

Pin It

OH, Hello!

Thanks for popping into my blog today!

Just Add Ink have a cool challenge this week - Just add a FUN BACKGROUND.

There are so many possibilities with this challenge that it was had for me to narrow down what I was going to do.

I decided to use some core'dination cardstock, run it through my cuttlebug in a honeycomb embossing folder and then I used my sanding block to rub back the cardstock to show the white core!

It was fun making this background as it was a little hands on and I love how the white just pops out at you.

The design team have created plenty of other fun backgrounds to give you some inspiration so hop on over to the JAI blog, check them out and then show us your creation!

Good luck.

Just Add Ink 161 - Colour Challenge

Pin It

Well hello lovelies!

Just Add Ink have a big colour challenge this week for you - Midnight Muse, More Mustard and Rich Razzelberry!
Three very big bold colours to work with.

I found these colours hard to work with so I decided to procrastinate invest some time colouring images and after colouring these Pleasant Poppies I thought they would be great for the challenge!!

I've used a little spritz on the poppies to add a little sparkle!

Honestly you need to head over to the JAI blog to see what the other Design Team ladies have come up with for this challenge!!

Here are the colours for this challenge

If you want any details about this card just shoot me an email.

Can't wait to see how you use these colours so don't forget to link up your creation.
