Scrapbook page with Best birds stamp set and Floral Boutique DSP {Just Add Ink challenge #324}

There is a wonderful inspiration picture for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge and I was keen to play! I've had this recent photo of our treasures and I that I've wanted to scrap and some new goodies to use so YAY for challenges that help!

I'm LOVING adding touches of gold or copper to my projects and water colouring is always sooo lovely to play with. I was able to use a brand new stamp set Best birds and had fun coming up with "different" colour birds than what you might see in the wild!

The whole background of stripes (which reminds me of the stripy fence in the inspiration pic) is a piece of the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper, soooo pretty!!!

I've popped in some flowers (again due to inspiration pic) and finished it all off with the Title of LOVE using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits (LOVE THESE!!!!!) How sweet are those colours, the Sugar plum, Night of Navy and Mint macaroon work beautifully together!

Thanks heaps for popping by and seeing my take on the challenge, I do so much enjoy playing along with the talented ladies at JAI!!

Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge #315 - Sunshine Sayings stamp set

I can't believe that I've finally got around to joining in on the Just Add Ink fun!! WHoo HOO!! It's only taken ALL YEAR but here it is, my first entry for the year with the wonderful, talented ladies at JAI!!

I have some new goodies I was hanging to ink up and play with and a card that needed to be made for a lovely lady here in the Village! You could call her the Mother of Poatina, she is sooo special! So for a special lady there needed to be a special card! I used washi tape for the framelit greeting, the new copper twine for some delicate detail, faux suede delightful Dijon cardstock, a panel of shimmer white cardstock which I watercoloured with the Dijon then stamped the watercolour image (also from the Sunshine sayings set) in Cherry cobbler! Oh and my fav at the moment, the Gold glitter pen on the flower to highlight some "petals!!"

 Hey I even stamped the inside too, added another framelit, this time the flower with the same copper washi tape and followed the greeting from "Love and Hugs... on one more year! Happy Birthday!" Wow this set has some super great sayings!!
The sketch was fun to work with, I've flipped it on the side and will certainly do this layout again!!
YAY, so there you have it! Thanks heaps for popping by and checking out my take on the challenge! Hopefully it won't be sooo long before I join in with the JAI gang again!

Just Add Ink #289 - Just Add Music {Hello December 2016 Project Life}

Oh HELLO!!! How are you dear, lovely people?? We/I have been great! Busy but super great!! We are actually on the move, after 12 years of living in our sweet home we are off to the country!! (more about that another time...)
I'm pretty excited to see the latest Just Add Ink challenge and even better to join in!! YAY!! They have a great theme of adding Music this week so with a scrapbook page needed for my December Calendar this was a perfect start!

 I've used some of the new goodies from the Hello December 2015 Project Life pack, including the coordinating Hello December stamp set! What fun little images it has, including 2 choices of Christmas tree! The DSP is from Home for Christmas.... GORGEOUS!!

Fun title stamped with the Alphabet Rotary stamp

(if you don't have this you MUST add it to your Christmas wish list NOW!!

It's a perfect tool for ANY project!!)

  Oh I do LOVE the washi tape and the new real red pompom ribbon!!

 

It's our sweet little Sapphire Lizzie pictured there putting her stocking and Sack out with care. What a wonderful time of the year it is!
I hope that you are enjoying all the craftiness that Christmas brings and with inspiration from the talented ladies at JAI our projects will shine!!

Just Add Ink #258 - A colour challenge (Alice in Wonderland)

 

I've been having the most wonderful holiday so far and with half a week to go there is still time to hit my crafting room before school goes back!
So with time on my hands and fun colour challenges to join in on at Just Add Ink I was ready to play along! It's one of my dearest friends birthdays today and I needed a cool card to post for her. I bought some really fun little book marks from Reliquaire in Latrobe on the weekend and that started me off thinking to go with the Alice in Wonderland theme..... FUN!!!

 

SO with the colours from JAI and Alice in my head here is what I came up with.....

 The rose template is a die cut in the Artisan Embellishment Kit.... 

soooo pretty and perfect for Alice in Wonderland!!

 

I had such a blast making the little "drink me" ticket and the Queen of hearts card! The rabbit and teapot stamp are current Stamin' Up! stamps and the gorgeous rich ribbon from the current Artisan embellishment kit too! Must say these colours are pretty fabbo to play with .... must remember that! Thanks for popping by, hope you like!!

Just add Ink challenge #252 - A sketch (Horse Punch art)

 

It's a busy time of the year for birthdays in my circle of friends and family! This Friday my sweet little Sophia will turn 9 and she is having a Horse Theme Party. So with that idea in mind and the very groovy sketch from Just Add Ink I came up with this....

 

 

I did find the punch art inspiration from HERE to make my horse but added my own little touches like the burlap ribbon mane. I'm sooo happy with the rosette proudly displaying Sophia's birthday number!!

This sketch was a lot of fun, must remember to use it again in the future!

Just Add Ink challenge #251... Just Add Thank you!

 

I was soooooo excited to think that I just made it in the latest Just Add Ink challenge! YAY! I totally needed a thank you card and so got to work while my treasures were happy playing after their school work.
I found the DSP on my desk which was a scrap and the inspiration came from there...... as you may have noticed I'm totally into adding doilies and flowers and lace on my cards at the moment, oh  and feathers but they didn't suit this one, hee he!

 

The greeting is from Trust God which works PERFECTLY for whom I'm giving this card to and the inside Thank you is from Another Thank you stamp set... LOVE THAT SET!!

See that gorgeous lacey ribbon... OH MY LOVE THIS, it's from the new mini (page 43) and the colour is stunning!! So there you have it, thanks sooo much for popping by!

Just Add Ink challenge #244 - Just add a sketch

When you need to get those creative juices flowing quickly there is nothing better than finding a sketch! Then with your recipients fav colours or images you can make a pretty quick card! YAY for Just Add Ink that has a sketch at the moment!!

I needed both a birthday card and a special Christmas card so here's what I made....

The birthday girl LOVES roses and red so that was easy!!

 

The Christmas card is for a "soon to be married" man whom my hubbie is the best man for in January! Well actually it's for his future wife, he's bought the Project Life wedding pack to give to her! HOW wonderful and I said I'd wrap the gift and make a special card!

 

Of course I made a co-ordinating tag too.... it's all about the packaging!!! DONE again with this great sketch!! YAY! Thanks JAI!!

Just Add Ink challenge #241 {Yoda Punch art!}

 

I was needing a card for a six year old who loves Star Wars.... where do you go?? Just Add Ink is the answer with a really groovy sketch - YAY!! I have been wanting to make a punch art Yoda for a long time and so finally made the effort, sat down and with inspiration from HERE made my very own Yoda!

 

 

(My Son thinks he is..... sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!)

 

I thought that the shiny stars in the background would be a nice touch and I loved the placement of the greeting on the sketch! I'd have to say it's a pretty cool card (if I do say so myself!) I'm keen to know what the birthday boy thinks when he gets it..... once across the straight... let's hope the force is with me!! hee he,

Just Add Ink challenge #238 Add a sketch

 

I happened to have some crafting time on my hands over the long weekend and with some fun challenges to play with and cards needed I jumped in! Just Add Ink ALWAYS have the most wonderful challenges and this week is a simple sketch! YAY! WOW it works in soo many different ways, as you may have noticed I've flipped the sketch on the side and created this simple Christmas card.

Oh how I love that little typed greeting!! It's from the Project Life Hello December Accessory Pack! LOVE!!! And the DSP is currently available in the Mini (page 22) All is Calm Specialty, sooo nice!

I'm super happy with how this card turned out.... considering I've not even used a Christmas stamp! I've not used my Mosaic Madness stamp set much but I get the feeling that I'll be inking it up a lot more for some more Christmas wonder!

Just Add Ink challenge #236 {Feathers}

I have some more feathers to show off to you today with the latest challenge at Just Add Ink being a very inspiring photo.....

Well with that picture in mind how could you not do a card with feathers!!! While looking at Pinterest the other day I came across THIS card.... amazing!!!
So with all that in mind I came up with this.....

 

I love how simple it looks yet soo effective.... thinking I might just have to demo this fabbo technique in my Paper Dolls stamp club!! It's sooo fun and gives such a fantastic result!
Can't wait to do more with my feather fetish.... until then,
