Just Add Ink #717 – Just Add a Sketch

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

When I saw this sketch, I instantly thought Christmas card! I used a retired DSP from Stampin Up that has a flocked red stripe. I stamped, coloured and cut out 1 of the critters from the Colorado Craft Company ‘Christmas Hats’ stamp set. I mirror stamped 1 of them so that they were both facing the sentiment. I popped them up over a strip of silver glitter and silver glimmer cardstock.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at Just Add Ink have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Wednesday, 4th September at 7pm (AEST) Australian Eastern Standard Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Sketch Saturday #758

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I thought this sketch leant itself to using a large sentiment in the centre and I knew the Kaiserkraft ‘Fa La La’ stamp was just perfect for it. I gold embossed the sentiment and popped the panel into a couple of layers of red and green cardstock. I added some old flocked DSP on my card base and then some gliter gold die cut leaves in place of the sketch swirls.

AAA Cards #272 – Sketch

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

I coloured and fussy cut 3 flowers from the Stampin Up True Love DSP. This is probably my favourtie DSP that Stampin Up has ever amde (big call I know)! I added some crystal lacquer to the flower centres and popped up a sentiment from Uniquely Creative and my ard was done.

Just Add Ink #715 Just Add Shading/Shadows

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

I decided to play with a technique I haven’t used for eons – shadow stamping with white ink. I used a layering stamp set from Altenew ‘Climbing Clematis’ and stamped th 1st image in white ink, then layered with a variety of pinks inks from lightest to darkest. Can you see the subtle shadow? Using a Crumb Cake card base helps acieve the shaow look. I added a pre-stamped sentiment from my stash and some sequins and my card was done.

AAA Birthday #64 – Critters

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

Anyone who knows me knows that I love to make cards with critters on them so was thrilled when this theme popped up. For my card I used Stampin Up stamp sets ‘Drizzling Droplets’ inked in Slate Grey and a sentiment from ‘Happiest of Birthdays’ and one of the cute bunnies from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Somebunny’ stamp set. I did a few layers with Stampin Up DSP from the In Colour range for 2024 along with Slate Grey card stock.
