Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge #467

Hello, and welcome to my blog.
The JAI Design Team have been busy creating for our Sketch Challenge this week.
There is so much inspiration from the girls this week, so make sure you visit their blogs.

We would love for you to join in and you can add your project to our 
Just Add Ink Blog Challenge Gallery here.

A friend of mine has just turned 40, and she went to Fiji to celebrate her special day. 
I was inspired by her Tropical getaway, and I have used the 'Tropical Chic Bundle' to create my Sketch Challenge project.

I started out with the square die cut in 'Basic Black', backed with 'Granny Apple Green'. 

I also added some 'Copper Foil' to the back of this element, because I knew I wanted the sentiment to be embossed with 'Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder'.

I stamped the hibiscus flower with 'Melon Mambo ink.

I removed some of the 'Melon Mambo' ink away from the middle of the flower, and the stamens, with a tissue. I added 'Mango Melody ink to the flower with a 'Sponge Dauber'.

I snipped away right to the edge of the coloured flower, so I could add a 'Basic Black' die cut flower behind.

The 'Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder' looks amazing on the Basic Black strip. 

(Unfortunately, my photography didn't capture the beauty)

The 'Subtle Dynamic TIEF' is one of my favourite Embossing Folders to add a bit of texture to my backgrounds.

Thankyou for being here and paying me a visit.

Have a fantastic Friday! D x

Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges Blog Hop - Theme Challenge #048

It's the Inspire.Create.Stamping Challenges 'Theme Challenge' #048

We have been busy creating 'Birthday' projects, and we hope to see you join in with this fun Challenge.

Add your projects to our Challenge gallery here.

I have had a fun time using the 'Perennial Birthday' & 'Birthday Backgrounds' stamp sets.

For the first time ever, I have used the 'Baby Wipe Technique' to create my background with one of the 'Birthday Bakcground' stamps.
'Flirty Flamingo', 'Mango Melody' & 'Petal Pink' are the reinkers I have used - drop a few drops of the colours onto a Baby Wipe, stamp onto the inked Baby Wipe, and stamp straight onto cardstock.
It's that simple for such a great effect!

I coloured the 'HAPPY' letters individually, using the 'In Color 2018-2020 Stampin' Write Markers'.
I punched the letters using the largest of the balloons from the 'Balloon Bouquet Punch'. 
Tie some 'Silver Metallic Thread' around the base of the balloon.

I coloured some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' with the 'Light Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blends Marker', to tie up the threads.

A fun 'Happy Birthday' card.
I can't wait to use different colours, and the different 'Birthday Backgrounds' images to make all sorts of different cards.
I hope you get a chance to make some 'Baby Wipe Technique' projects too.

Thankyou for visiting, and be sure to check out the Design Teams creations for more 'Birthday' inspirtion.

Add your project to our Colour INKspiration Challenges Facebook page here.

Thankyou for joining me, and I hope you enjoyed visiting Jackie's blog beforehand? I just love Jackie's creations.

Petal Pink, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock & Blueberry Bushel

You can also add Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Metallics to you project.

I absolutely love 'Petal Pink', and I made a background feature of the 'Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper' with the cute spots.
A touch of the 'Subtle Dynamic TIEF' on the 'Petal Pink' topper, and for the 'White Cardstock' with the 'Stitched Shapes Oval Die'.

The 'Daisy Lane Bundle' was the first thing I looked at to create with the 4 colours for this Challenge.
'Petal Pink' daisy.
'Terracotta Tile' cardstock + 'Layering Ovals Dies'
'Pretty Peacock' ink for the leaves (blended with an 'Aqua Painter') & sentiment
'Blueberry Bushel' ink for the centre of the daisy.

A sweet and simple card for any occasion.

Next up is our Guest Designer, Jo Stubbings.

Jo has something to share with us that you are just going to love!

See you for the next Challenge. D x
