Just Add Ink #787 – Choose Two or More

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

For my card, I chose Patterned Paper and Animals. I use some Styampin Up DSP from the Boho Vibes pack along with one of the cats from Tim Holtz ‘Crazy Cats’ tamp set. I heat embossed and loosely water coloured the cat and then fussy cut him out. I added a mscellaneous snarky snentiment along the right hand edge.

AAA Birthday #86 – For Boys

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I love making masculine cards, but I probably don’t make them often as I do love to colour flowers and probably send more cards to women than men.

I used a great stamp set from Stampin Up ‘Brewed for You’ where I stamped 5 of the beer mugs with their foamy top and then die cut them out. I used SU inks in So Saffron and Mango Melody for the beer and bubbles. I added a bit of puffy paint to make the beer foam top and then added some die cut letters to form the HAPPY sentiment. I’m pretty happy with how this card came out.

Just Add Ink #784 – Sketch

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I love this type of sketch as the circles could be anything you want them to be! I had some previously stamped, watercoloured and cut out perfume bottles (the Ton ‘ Marvelous perfumes’) in my stash that I felt were fercvts for this sketch. I popped the up on a circle die cut them onto an embossed background panel (Stampin Up ‘Mosiac Tie’ EF) and then onto my card base.
