JAI #212: STAMPIN' UP! EVERYTHING ELEANOR

Our challenge at Just Add Ink this week is my favourite kind - a colour challenge.  Delys chose this awesome colour combination for us to use on a card or other papercraft project:

I decided that I wanted my card to be mainly about the neutrals, with pops of gorgeous, vibrant,  Bermuda Bay.

On my Very Vanilla panel, I used Crumb Cake ink to stamp (second-generation, or "stamped off") Dictionary, and the flourish from Everything Eleanor.  I then used a die-cut Hexagon Hive piece of card as a stencil, and lightly sponged hexagons over the top of my stamped images.

Stamps: Dictionary, Everything Eleanor, Petite Pairs

Card: Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla, Bermuda Bay

Ink: Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar and Bermuda Bay stampin' pads

Other: Large Oval punch, paper snips, Blender Pen. Baked Brown Sugar stretch ruffle trim, Bermuda Bay 1/8" taffeta ribbon, Large Scallop thinlits die, Delicate Designs embossing folder, sponge dauber, Basic Pearls, Itty Bitty Shapes punch, sticky strip

 

 

The rest of the Design Team have come up with some gorgeous creations using this colour scheme - you can check them out here.  Won't you play along with us, too?  We'd love to see what you make.

 

 

 



JAI #158 : STAMPIN' UP!'S EVERYTHING ELEANOR

This week at Just Add Ink, Mae has come up with this fantastic sketch:

My starting point was a gorgeous piece of paper from Stampin' Up!'s Print Poetry Designer Series Paper stack.  It determined my colour scheme of Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.  The next step was to show a bit of love to my reasonably new, but barely used, Everything Eleanor stamp set.  I love how the stamped label shape is the perfect mat to my sentiment panel, that was die-cut using one of the shapes from the Apothecary Accents framelits collection.

Stamps: Everything Eleanor, Wacky Wishes

Card: Midnight Muse, Very Vanilla

DSP: Print Poetry Designer Series Paper stack

Ink: Crumb Cake stampin' pad and marker, Midnight Muse stampin' pad and marker

Other: Apothecary Accents framelits, paper snips, Ticket Duo Builder punch, Basic Pearls, Large Basic Pearls, Square Lattice embossing folder, Crumb Cake seam binding, Midnight Muse stitched satin ribbon, Stamp-a-ma-jig, sponge daubers

 

 

The Just Add Ink team has some beautiful, varied, examples of how to use this sketch - you can check them out here.  We'd love to see how you use this sketch on your card, too, so please play along with us!
