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.

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

I was inspired by the Christmas feel and the colours in the photo along with the puffiness of the marshmallows.

I created a scalloped background (MFT) that gave the feel of Christmas garlands with baubles (I added some red gems). I stamped, coloured and cut out a Christmas elf (MFT Santa’s Elves) and layered it all on white, red and green cardstock.

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great colour challenge for you – you can choose 3 or play with all 6 colours!

I opted to use 3 of the colours – orgeous Grape, Azure Afternoon and Misty Moonlight. Combined they said I needed to make a night sky, which is perfect for a dark looking Christmas card. I sponged the coloursonto my card base, did some water splatters that look like falling snow. I used 2 Stampin Up sets – Winter Woods and Watercolor Christmas.

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

I thought the cut away circle area would be a great spot to highlight a Christmas element. I used some old Christmas DSP, added a coloured elf from the MFT’s ‘Santa’s Elves’ stamp set with a sentinment from PTI’s ‘Rustic Wreath’ stamp set. The DSP was looking a bit flat, so I added some blue stars.

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

I chose bright colours and birthday for my card. I was inspired by a card that Maheswari Rajaguru made recently and decided to use some retired DSP (Fine Art Floral) from Stampin’ Up for the sunburst shape. I added cardstock in the colours from the DSP in between the DSP rays and then stamped and die cut some flowers from the Stampin’ Up ‘Two Tone Floral’ stamp set. I used inks from Stampin’ Up in Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, Calypso Coral and Pretty Peacock.

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

My card was inspired by the colours in the photo. I used my Distress Inks – Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry and smoosed them onto some watercolour cardstock. I then die cut a few daisies to add interest on the front, a sentiment from Stampin’ Up ‘Special Moments’ and added the ink panel onto some yellow and orange cardstock.

I love ink smooshing as everytime you do it, it leaves you with a totally different look.

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

Can I say that I struggled with this combination? I thought it was going to be easy but I tried 3 times before I was happy. I wanted to give even balance to each colour but just couldn’t get it working till I inked smooshed a piece of water colour cardstock and then patted off some of the colour to tone the saturation down. I then added a die cut panel using a coverplate from Paper Rose ‘Blooming Flowers’. I added some diamonte gems to the flower buds and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative. I’m so happy with how this version came out.

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

I thought our sketch lent itself to a quick and easy Christmas card. I used a few different sized circle punchs, some retired DSP from Stampin Up ‘Trimming the town’ and an inked up embossing folder ‘Expossed brick’, a sentiment made on my PC and a few glitter dots and my card was done. I love the effect you get when you ink up an embossing folder and then run the paper through your embossing machine.

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

I found this a VERY broad theme and it stumped me for a bit, but then my daughter had me buy her a block of chocolate at the supermarket which lead to my inspiration.

To make my block I cut a series of squares and popped up the smaller ones to look like chocolate block squares. I added some crystal lacquer to make it shiny, wrapped it in foil, added an embossed outside wrapper and a belly band using a die cut with a sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Coffee talk’ and my card was done.

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

I was inspired by the night sky images in the board so did some sponging with Stampin Up inks in Pacific Point, Starry Sky and Night of Navy. I sprinkled a bit of water and patted it dry to make them look a bit like stars and then stamped the Bare Forest stamp from Indigo Blu on top and added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative and some gold thread to soften the darkness of the card.
