JAI 723 Choose two challenge - Reindeer Fun Christmas

Hello & welcome to a fun Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week's challenge is to Choose Two elements to use from the 3 available options - circle, trees, and ink blending. I chose circle and trees, though I did sneak in a little ink blending too.

Here's how it turned out.

JAI 717 sketch challenge - soft Seaside Wishes birthday

Hello and welcome! Today I'm sharing my project for this week's Just Add Ink sketch challenge.

JAI 711 inspiration challenge - Merriest Trees in July

 

Hello and welcome to a new blog post and a new look here at Colour Me Happy. You're still in the right place, just with more pretty butterflies!

My newest project share is for this week's Just Add Ink challenge which is an inspiration challenge featuring a Christmassy image. Perfect for Christmas in July creating.

The Merry Christmas sentiment on the red mug  reminded me of the one in the Merriest Trees stamp set, so that, the coordinating Merriest Trees dies, and the colours in the image gave me my starting point. Here's how my card turned out.

JAI 709 colour challenge - Country Birdhouse

Hello and welcome. Today I have a new Just Add Ink team project to share with you. This week we have an unusual colour challenge where you can choose to use 3 or 6 of the chosen colours.
I must say this was a puzzling combo for me to start with, but I was drawn to the blues/aquas *no surprise there* and the yellow, and thought they'd work well with the Country Birdhouse stamps and die bundle and my Stampin' Blends markers. In the end I snuck in little bits of the other colours too. Here's how my card turned out.
