Just Add Ink #666 – Photo Inspiration

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

I was inspired by the snow in the picture and decided to make a card for a teenage boy who loves to snowboard. I used a old digital image from Stampin Up called ‘Extreme Snowboard’ which I printed and then fussy cut out. I sponged some mountains in a variety of blue/green inks, used some white ink to replicate the snow being flung up by the board. I tore the top of the sponged panel and stamped the sentiment from Pretty Cute Stamps ‘Game On’ in the corner.
