JAI #243: BRIGHT GROOVY LOVE!

This week's Just Add Ink challenge is to use this bright, beautiful colour combination (suggested by Kim) on a papercraft project:

I had a LOT of trouble getting these colours to work together, so I decided to keep my project very simple, with plenty of white space.

I've made a little "love note" for a friend - polka dots and hearts are such a cute combination.

JAI #216: JUST ADD WATERCOLOUR

The challenge at Just Add Ink this week, suggested by Paula, is to "just add watercolour" to your papercraft project.

I had all sorts of ideas in my head, all involving the sweet Vivid Vases stamp set from Stampin' Up!  More than one of my creations ended up, totally overdone, in the bin - it just wasn't working for me!  So, I've gone super-simple with the watercolouring component on my card, and given more focus to colour.  I wanted to use two colours I seldom use - Rose Red and Crushed Curry.  Here's the final result:

Stamps: Vivid Vases, Lots of Thanks, Six-Sided Sampler

Card: Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Rose Red, Watercolour Paper

DSP: Rose Red Patterns Designer Series Paper, Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper

Ink: Jet Black Staz-On inkpad, Rose Red, Crushed Curry, Old Olive and Soft Sky stampin' pads

Other: Aquapainter, Scallop Tag Topper punch, Crushed Curry chevron ribbon, seam binding (not SU!), Itty Bitty shapes punch, Ovals framelits, Circles framelits and Circles Nestabilities, Large Delicate Doilies sizzlits die, sponge daubers, Basic Rhinestones, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

JAI #176: STAMPIN' UP!'S SIX SIDED SAMPLER MEETS GORGEOUS GRUNGE

This week's challenge at Just Add Ink is to make a masculine project.  The theme is "Just Add ... Blokes", but "blokes" isn't a word I use .... for any international visitors, "bloke" is a slang word for a "guy".  We are happy for you to make a card for a male of any age, so let's see your creations for a boy or a man.

I had a special teen birthday card to make, so broke open some of my new Stampin' Up! toys.  Lots of new "bits" on this card, and I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.

Stamps: Six-Sided Sampler, Gorgeous Grunge, Sassy Salutations

Card: Basic Gray, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Smoky Slate

DSP: Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper

Ink: Versamark inkpad, Jet Black Staz-On inkpad, Smoky Slate and Bermuda Bay stampin' pads

Other: Hexagon punch, Black stampin' emboss powder, Pewter stampin' emboss powder, Neutrals Candy Dots, sponge dauber
