Just Add Ink #42

Hi there, hope you all enjoyed the weekend and hopefully got some stamping done!
This week's challenge over at Just Add Ink is this wonderful sketch to use on a papercraft project:


I really love this sketch as it is so versatile. I decided to go with an elegant style card and used the Colour Coach to help me with the colour combo. This is a really useful tool that I recommend getting your hands on!



I have used the Fast and Fabulous stamp set (level 1 hostess set), which you can earn for FREE! (more info HERE), the sentiment stamp is from the Upsy Daisy stamp set and I have used the En Francais stamp in the backround.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Fast and Fabulous, Upsy Daisy, En Francais
Card/Paper: Pretty in Pink, Early Expresso, Crumb cake, Whisper White
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Pretty in Pink,
Accessories: Rich Razzleberry ribbon (retired) Pretty in Pink 1/8" taffetta ribbon, Early Expresso 1/8" taffetta ribbon, pearls,

Hope you like my card! Check out the other inspiring entrys at Just Add Ink!

Our take on Just Add Ink

The Just Add Ink challenge this week is this fabulous sketch:


Sarah and I made this card together. It uses the Upsy Daisy stamp set. We just knew that this set would fit the sketch beautifully. We added some of the luxurious Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon for some visual texture.
For colouring the daisy's, we used the Not Quite Navy and Old Olive markers. I quite like this effect. And same with the sentiment, we added both colours for a multicoloured look.
The Upsy Daisy set and the Urban Garden designer papers match with each other beautifully.
Here is our card:Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Upsy Daisy
Card/Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White, Urban Garden DSP
Accessories: Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon, Clear Rinestone brads, Large Oval punch, Scallop Edge punch, Not Quite Nave & Old Olive markers

We had a lot of fun with this sketch, hope you like it! :)
