Guest Designer @ Just Add Ink #JAI766

 

I am so excited to be a Guest Designer at...

Just Add Ink // #JAI766 ...A "just add" challenge!!  This week we are "just adding" a single layer card using stamping or stenciling.  For today's card I stamped my flower directly on my base card (keeping it to a single layer) and then colored it in using watercolor pencils.  To give it a little bit of character I added some scoring around the edges, breaking the score lines at the stamped image. 

           

We hope you will join the fun and play along with us.  Hop on over to their blog and check our all the details for this new challenge.  While there you will also find great inspiration from the design team.

3 challenges inspired today's card...

Atlantic Heats Sketch Challenge // #AHSC615 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was the starting point for today's card and a great foundation for including these 3 other challenges.  I like that the sketch called for elements in the opposing corners.

Color Throwdown // #ctd826 ...A color challenge!!  The colors called for in this current challenge are brown, pink, and white.  I used Stampin Up's Early Espresso and Melon Mambo for my pink and brown.  Color challenges pair up so nicely with sketch challenges.

We Love Stamping // FEB2025 ...A monthly theme challenge!!  The theme for February is CLEAN & SIMPLE.  I made a CAS card using my new stamps from Stampin Up, Terrific Toadstools.

Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS71 ...Not a challenge site but a great place to show off those "never been used" items...whether it is something brand new or something that has been neglected. Today I am showcasing a new stamp set that I ordered during Sale-A-Bration from Stampin Up.
