Just Add Ink #446 | Abstract Impressions

Well, this week’s Just Add Ink challenge was a bit of a head scratcher for me! The challenge is to create something using this image as inspiration…

Just Add Ink 446 Cardmaking Inspiration Challenge

I noted that a lot of the Design Team had taken the blue, and that beautiful background and used the Tin Tile Embossing Folder. Which is very nice, but not something that I own (I know, I shouldn’t admit to not having everything in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue… but my craft room really isn’t big enough to hold everything!). So, I took the flowers as inspiration instead, and the layout of the image.

I did want to take some of the texture from the inspiration piece, and so embossed this fabulous die, from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits, onto a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock using the Big Shot Embossing Mats.

The floral panel on the side uses the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set, and a heap of bright and fun colours…

  • Pineapple Punch and Mango Melody
  • Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay
  • Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick

The sentiment is also from Abstract Impressions and is stamped in Lovely Lipstick before being punch out with the Everyday Label punch.

This card is finished with a hint of Whisper White Flax Ribbon

Just Add Ink 444 | I Like You Oh So Eclectic!

I can’t believe I almost forgot about Just Add Ink this week! But it’s ok… because although it’s now Monday afternoon, I still wanted to join in and share this card with you.

This week’s Just Add Ink was a bit of a head scratcher… use Poppy Parade and Powder Pink plus a colour of your choice! But which colour to choose?!

After spinning my colour caddy a few times I landed on Blueberry Bushel so my colour combination looks like this;

Then came my next dilemma… which stamp set to use?! Now, I’ve used Sale-a-bration goodies a fair bit recently, and then I’ve been playing with some of the new Spring Summer stamps too. So a lot of the stamps from the Annual catalogue have been sat lonely on the shelf! This led me to pull Oh So Eclectic! This is one of my absolute favourite stamp sets, and it has a coordinating set of dies that I also adore… so decision made!

I made a card over the weekend which I will share with you later in the week, that used Shimmery White card stock and so that was still sat out on my desk, and so this was another jumping off point for this card.

First I added a Powder Pink watercolour wash to that Shimmery White card stock and set it off to dry while I used another scrap piece to stamp those leaves in Blueberry Bushel.

Both the background die and those leaves are die cut using the coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies. This is one of those packs of dies that work well on their own as well as with the stamp set PLUS they have both cutting and embossing dies too for some fabulously dimensional projects.

The card is finished with that cute little sentiment stamped in Poppy Parade and a trio of Rhinestones.
