Just Add Ink #639 | Colour Challege

 Hello, Hello.  It's time for a new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #628 |Colour Challenge. This weeks colour combo has been suggested by fellow JAI Design Team Member - Jan. This week we are using Polished Pink, Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis.

What a gorgeous colour combo! Looks so bight and summery. Love it!

I've used the three challenge colours with lots of Basic White for a fun and fresh looking Birthday card.

 
I cut 0.7cm X 10.5cm strips of each colour and arranged them on the card base. To keep the strips straight I actually measured a line in the middle of the cardstock and then arranged them from there rather than starting at the top and working my way down.

I used the large die from the Stampin' Up! Two-Tone Flora Dies in Basic White and then trimmed it to the size of my striped layer. You can make a boarder when you cut the die though your cardstock but the die cut layer hung over my striped layer too much and didn't fit in with my measurements hence the reason to trim it down.

I created my own white boarder around the die cut layer just using strips of cardstock. I then finished the card off with an embossed 'Happy Birthday', White Baker's Twine and some Basic Pearls. Because the stripes and the die cut layers are quite busy I though that is all that the card needs to give it that something extra with out being too much. 

The Just Add Ink Design Team have lots of amazing creations for you and to show you their take on this weeks challenge colours. You'll be surprised at all the different projects we came up with. There is something for everyone. We hope that you'll join in this weeks challenge. I can't wait to see you join in and to see your take on the colour challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!

Just Add Ink #636 Blog Hop | Just Add Your Favourite Challenge

Hello, hello, hello!  Happy Friday! Welcome and thank you for joining me on my blog today. I've  just had a very well deserved and much needed Christmas Break with my family and some time away camping in our caravan. Lots of fun in the sun, stand up paddle boarding, swimming in the lake, swimming at the beach, boating, knee-boarding, 4WD, reading a few books and lots of all-round summer fun! Was so good to be away in the great outdoors of Australia. Back to reality now.

  Over at Just Add Ink, to kick off the first challenge for the year we are commencing 2023 with a blog hop to go with the new challenge. Our theme for this hop and the challenge is 'Just Add Your Favourite'. I love this theme and how much scope it gives you for your project. I could have made a few different projcts with this fantastic theme.


 If you've been following along here for a while you would be able to pick what my favourites would be just by looking at my card. For all the newere folk around here one of my most absolute favourite things on a card is Black and White Stripes. I don't know what it is about black and white stripes that I love so much but when I see them on anything I'm a sucker for it and have to have it.

 The other things that are my favourites on my projects are florals, anything pink, any colouring medium (I've used water colour with a Water Painter here today), Vellum, Linen Thread, and Pearls (my birth stone). All these things put together make for a goreous and pretty card and I don love me a pretty card.

I cut the black and white 1cm strips using my paper trimmer and then used the stamped images and dies from the Stampin' Up! Framed Florets bundle for the other elements on the card.

I think this card would look fabulous recreated in different colours. Might have to try those ideas on my next projects.

Next up on the blog hop is Kerry Bunting with her amazing creation. Make sure you click your way around to everyone on the hop as there are lots of gorgeous creations and lots of different takes on our 'Just Add Your Favourite' theme.
