Just Add Ink #723 – Just Choose 2 – Circles/Trees/Ink Blending

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

I chose all 3 for my card. I ink blended a circle with Stampin Up inks in Parakeet Party, Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive wth a bit of a water splatter. I then stamped the tress from the Stampin Up ‘Winter Woods’ stamp set and added a setiment from Uniquely creative and a few sequins.

Just Add Ink #721 – Photo Inspiration

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

I was inspired by the cups in the photo (I know they probably have hot chocolate in them but I prefer coffee!). I printed the coffee cup on 3 different DSPs and fussy cut them out to ake 1 take=away cup. I did some ink smoosing for the background with Early Espresso and Soft Suede inks. I made the sentiment on my PC.

I’ll probably give this card to a friend of mine who loves coffee more than I do!

Just Add Ink #719 – Colour Challenge

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

I love these colours together – it screamed flowers and ink smooshing! I used a die from Paper Roses called ‘Blooming Flowers’ which I overlaid on the watercolour card stock before I did the ink smooshing so that I could get the colours roughly in the right area before I used the die.

I really likehow this came out and the grey carbase really makes the colours pop.

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.

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.

Just Add Ink #711 – Inspiration Photo

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.

Do you think the puffy paint n the hat looks like marshmallow fluff?

Just Add Ink #709 – Colour Challenge

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.

I love how this looks, all dark and moody!

Just Add Ink #707 – Just Add a Sketch

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.

Just Add Ink #703 – Just Choose Two – Balloons/Bright Colours/Birthday

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.
