JAI #278: STAMPIN' UP! BEST THOUGHTS BIRTHDAY

Our challenge at Just Add Ink this week, set by Nikki, is to use these beautiful bright pics as inspiration to make a card (or other papercraft project):



I stamped the dots, from Dotty Angles, in Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzleberry ink, on a piece of Whisper White card.  This formed the background for a sparkly orange flower (coloured using blender pens and ink, then covered in Crystal Effects, with a sprinkling of Dazzling Diamonds).

A bit of paper-piercing, some ribbon, and a cute sentiment punched out with my new Washi Label punch, finished off the card.




Here's a closer view of the flower:



I stamped the flower using our new Archival Basic Black ink; beautiful and crisp, with no 'bleeding' of the ink when I used blender pens and ink.  I do now realise that I coloured all of the flower (including leaves) orange ... but am using "creative licence" as my defence!

I've listed below the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  NB: Best Thoughts is a set you may only earn for free, with a qualifying order (so the price shown is indicative only).

Make sure you check out the rest of the beautiful work by the Just Add Ink Design Team.  We hope you'll link up your own creation, over on the JAI blog.
