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 #242: SUNSHINEY BLOOM WITH HOPE

This week's Just Add Ink challenge invites lots of flowery goodness.  We have an inspiration pic for you - and you may choose whatever from the graphic that inspires you.  No need to go 'floral' - it might be the colours, or watercolour effect, that jump out at you.   Here's the "jumping off" point:




Although the gorgeous daisies are white with yellow centres, I've used a bit of creative licence on my card.  I have had a coloured panel on my desk for weeks, just waiting to be added to a card - until I came to create this card, I just wasn't sure how to use it.  My flowers are yellow with white centres.  To be truthful, when I originally coloured the flowers using my Blendabilities, the flower centres were orange.  I've used my white chalk marker, and white gel pen, to re-colour the centres for this challenge!  The fabulously useful tiny die-cut butterfly hides an ink smudge.  Love that. :)




I'm very happy with the way this card turned out.  Isn't the sentiment gorgeous?  I've kept it all pretty simple, for a nice, fresh, happy look.

JAI #241: STAMPIN' UP!'S GOLD SOIREE CONGRATULATIONS CARD

Just Add Ink's challenge this week, set by Tina, is to make a card or other papercraft project using this sketch:




My card features Stampin' Up!'s Gold Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The only stamping is the sentiment ... which is rather a huge departure from my habitual use of several stamp sets on one card!




The table below shows all the products used to make this card.  If you click on any of the images, you'll be taken to my online store, and can buy them to make your own. :)
