I used the sketch to put together a man card….. and here it is……
So that’s today’s super quick post……lol, sorry but it’s late and I need to go get some sleep!
Check out all the wonderful Design Team sketch cards at Just Add Ink – and have a go at the challenge yourself – and then share it with us.
I love Challenges like this – because you can add texture in so many different ways. This time I used embossing paste with a stencil. I added some silver paint to is to colour it. I also added texture with the ribbon that I frayed, then stuck along the edge.
I often ask my husband what he thinks of some cards….and he always says…..it’s not manly if it has ribbon on it. so fraying the ribbon is really me trying to make it not look like ribbon! LOL!
I also really like how the cogs turned out. I used a bit of foil card to die cut them out.

The Just Add Ink Challenge this week is a Choose Two. The things you can choose from this time all have something to do with Embossing. There are several types of Embossing – and many many ways to use it in our projects – so this Challenge allows you to do that.
I have chosen to use Embossing Paste and Embossing Powder.
I used a new stencil I got a couple of weeks ago – I kinda think it looks Giraffeey. What do you think?
Heres the link to Just Add Ink – so you can check out many other creations by the Design Team and fellow Crafters. Have fun embossing!
We are doing a bright and vibrant Inspiration Challenge at Just Add Ink this week. Isn’t it pretty?
And it’s so versatile too. Being an Inspiration Challenge, you can use the pic to inspire you in any way – so the possibilities are endless. I made 2 cards, using similar ideas. I used a stencil to create my backgrounds and then embellished on top. Check out my cards below……..and then, go to Just Add Ink to check out more ideas from the Design Team.
Which one do you like??
This morning as I went off to work the sun was just rising. As it rose up over the horizon and the rays of light beamed out in channels……it was so lovely. I tried to snap a pic of it on my phone…..but it didn’t look as good as what I was seeing.
The colours in a sky reminded me of this weeks Just Add Ink Challenge – it’s a colour Challenge suggested by Jo. The colours are really pretty and girly – although I must admit that the softness of the Seafoam was Challenging for me. It’s such a lovely colour though.
Anyway – here is the card I put together.
The idea for this card came from a card I saw in a recent stamping magazine. I’m not even sure now, which magazine it was now, but the idea stuck in my mind and here’s my take on it.
As I said before, I think this colours are really pretty. To see some more pretty cards from the Design Team and to join our Challenge, follow this link to Just Add Ink.
Here’s the Just Add Ink Challenge this week # 416 Sketch as suggested by Patrice.
Sometimes, people ask me, “Where do you get your ideas from”?
Well….. Sketches are a great start for any card, so the layout of my card this week was where I started. For the rest of it – my inspiration came from a beautiful dress I saw an actress wearing (on TV).
It was stunning, far more sparkly and shimmery than what I have created – and it was more of an ice blue colour too. However, it gave me the idea to colour the die cut paper like this. The die cut paper is so delicate and pretty. Being White on one side and Vanilla on the other, means you can team is with any colour combo. Or even colour it, like I have here.
Here’s the link to Just Add Ink, so you can join the Challenge too.
I really enjoyed doing the emboss resist with the water-colour wash over the top – I used 3 colours in similar tones. Blushing Bride, Grapefruit Grove, Calypso Coral. The flowers are from the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set which I think is my new favourite.
So – dive through a frame or window into this challenge, share your creation with us at Just Add Ink.
