JAI #322: STAMPIN' UP! TOUCHES OF TEXTURE

Rochelle has set a gorgeous colour challenge for us at Just Add Ink this week.

I've used my new Touches of Texture stamp set to make a birthday card in these colours.  I love the grungy look of some of the stamps in this set.  The "messy" look of the flowers really appeals to me - it's rather liberating to not be as particular as I normally am, about colouring in the lines!

This card started with me stamping the lacy background stamp in Blushing Bride (stamped off once, so it's very faint), all over the Very Vanilla card.  I stamped one flower stem and flower head in Chocolate Chip ink, then did a bit of masking to fit two more flowers across the card.  The leaves and petals are filled in with a few different stamps from the set.

Here is a close-up of the background, so you can see I did incorporate Blushing Bride on my card!

I am in love with that banner sentiment.  It's from Time of Year, which is a hostess stamp set, available only if you place an order over $250.  I love that it's one of several sets that co-ordinates with the Bunch of Banners framelits.  The small "Happy" is from the gorgeous Designer Tin of Cards stamp set.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations.  It's awesome to see how different everyone's creations are, using the same colours.

JAI #321: STAMPIN' UP! WEATHER TOGETHER

Patrice has nominated Just Add Paper Piecing as this week's Just Add Ink challenge.

The cute umbrella in my new Weather Together stamp set was just crying out to be decorated in this way.  Have you tried paper piecing before?  It's a simple, but "wow", technique that involves stamping an image on patterned paper, cutting it out, and adhering it to the same outline image stamped on card.  By paper piecing sections, you can add fun and colour without having to actually colour in the image.

I have paper-pieced both the umbrella (in three sections) and the handle (that was a little fiddly!):

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, clicking on one of the thumbnail images will take you to my online store.

Make sure you check out the rest of the paper-pieced creations by the Just Add Ink Design Team.
