I absolutely love the colours in this week's Just Add Ink challenge; I've not used them together before, but WOW - how gorgeous do they look?!
I've combined these scrumptious colours with this week's Mojo Monday sketch; this is my first EVER entry over at Mojo Monday, which is pretty exciting (for me, at least!). I decided this sketch worked beautifully with my new stamp set that I was itching to ink up. Here's the sketch I worked from (although I opted not to add a square under the scalloped circle):
...... and here's the result, that I am also entering in the current SUO Challenge, to use flowers in a project. Tulips are my all-time favourite flower (well, peonies come a very, very close second). I had white tulips as my wedding bouquet, just in case you like reading a bit of personal trivia :) .......

Oh my gosh those colours are just divine Christine and your card is PERFECT (as always). I think it's time to have another play. Now where is that pear pizzazz when you need it lol
ReplyDeleteWell, I like to read the personal trivia and I always like to see what you create each week. This one is no exception. I love how you have combined the sketch and our colour challenge this week. I love the embossed sentiment and beautifully coloured flowers.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Christine, Love the way you have used the JAI colours, love your coloured image, the hearts and that scalloped panel too!
ReplyDeletelove your card Christine, i just love the little hearts from the owl punch. i seem to have a lot of those on my craft room floor. your card made me very happy. i had red roses in my bouquet
ReplyDeleteYep, this card makes me happy! I know what you mean about not being able to focus with all the ideas and inspiration running through our heads after Convention...however I did create something today but you will have to wait until this week's challenge at JAI to see it! Thanks for joining in last weeks JAI colour challenge.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about having your head buzzing with ideas after convention Christine :) But you have really settled back into the groove with this one :) It is just lovely! Love the big embossed sentiment and beautifully coloured image.
