JAI #258: ANNIVERSARY CARD FOR A COLOUR CHALLENGE

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is a colour challenge.  Rochelle has challenged us to use these colours together:

A couple of weeks ago, hubby and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary.  Even though he's a "no fuss" kind of guy, I always like to give him a card - and keep it pretty simple!

I like how this week's challenge colours worked for this occasion ... plenty of the lovely neutral Smoky Slate, with a couple of pops of Melon Mambo, and slipping in Blackberry Bliss on the sentiment:

Be sure to see how the other members of the Design Team used these colours.  We'd love to see what you make using this colour combination, too; link up your card or scrapbook page over at the Just Add Ink blog.

Below I've listed all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  You can click on any of the images, and you'll be taken to my online store.

JAI #257: CRISP CANTALOUPE AND GOLD STIPPLED BLOSSOMS

Narelle has come up with a stunning collage of inspiration pics, for our challenge at Just Add Ink this week:

I loved using this inspiration piece to make a card for a special milestone birthday.  Take a look:

I began with a few flowers stamped and gold-embossed on the die-cut panel, but overlaid some hand-cut flowers and leaves to add a bit more interest and dimension.  I LOVE the way this card turned out, and hope the recipient does too!

Make sure you take a look at how the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team members were inspired by the photos above; stunning work!

LOVE IS KINDNESS, IN CORAL

For today's card, I have gold-embossed the stamped Love is Kindness image, and included a little strip of Gold Foil paper.  Even though I love red, and favour the card I shared with you yesterday, today's card is the favourite of the males in my house (go figure - it's more soft and feminine!).

Once again I've coloured the tulips with Blendabilites, and muted the colour a little using the Color Lifter marker.  The sweet little punched heart, although difficult to see in my photo, is covered with an epoxy sticker - new in the Occasions Catalogue, and super-cute!

I've listed below the products used to make this card; they're available from my online store, which you can access simply by clicking on one of the pictures.
