JAI #325: STAMPIN' UP! BEST BIRDS BIRTHDAY CARD

We have a great sketch challenge happening at Just Add Ink this week.  Here's the sketch Tina designed, for us to use to create a card or other papercraft project.

 I've stuck pretty literally to the sketch, save for an added circle to house my sentiment.  How yummy is the Sweet Sugarplum glitter ribbon  I have used?  It's available to buy from 1st September, in a combo with a roll of gorgeous silver glitter ribbon.

I added some clear Wink of Stella to the bird and foliage, but, alas, my photography doesn't allow you to enjoy that glimmery detail!  Try as I might, I couldn't get the right light to capture it.  I used blender pens, and ink pooled in the lids of my inkpads, to colour the bird, and to add a touch of colour to the branch and leaves.

Listed below are all the current Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you click on one of the thumbnail images, you will be taken direct to my online store - very handy, if you wish to buy these products for yourself!

The rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team have made such beautiful cards using this sketch; be sure to check them out here.

JAI #317: A COLOUR CHALLENGE

We have a beautiful (Spring-like, I think) colour combo to work with, at Just Add Ink this week, thanks to Kim.

I have used a number of new Stampin' Up! products on my card.  I'm a sucker for the enamel shapes (I've run out of one colour already!), and love that the new paper doilies are a little smaller, and better sized for a card front.

After colouring my stamped images with blender pens, I painted clear Wink of Stella over the bird ... here is a better view:

Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's creations over at Just Add Ink.  We'd love for you to combine these colours on a papercraft project, and share with us on the Just Add Ink site!
