JAI 252 sketch challenge - Indescribable Gift

It's time for another Just Add Ink challenge & this week we have a sketch for you.

Pretty easy & flexible, right? Well, as a gal who likes nice vertical or horizontal lines, my first thought was 'eeek, it's tilted!' I guess that's why it's called a challenge :-). So after having a think & rotating the sketch I came up with this...& it really was much easier than I thought.

The gorgeous blossom stamp from Indescribable Gift worked well with the sketch so I stamped it on white vellum card (my current obsession) & coloured the back of the image with rich razzleberry & old olive Blendabilities markers. Colouring on the vellum is so easy - no blending & gives a really pretty, soft look. I adhered the vellum onto Typeset DSP & blushing bride card (using a little fast fuse on all vellum corners). The sentiment (Chalk Talk) is stamped on vanilla card, coloured with wild wasabi Blendabilities, with a circle of vellum over the top to soften it. Last, I stamped the base with Gorgeous Grunge for some subtle texture & wrapped some baked brown sugar twine (best name ever).

See all the DT's challenge projects on the JAI blog. We'd love you to play along with the challenge & share your creation with us there too.

Thanks for visiting today. Mr colourmehappy really liked my finished card so I hope you do too. Leave me a comment if you do or you have any questions & pin away if you feel like it too.

Inky wishes, Di

Blackberry & pink flower birthday

Carrying on the blackberry bliss & label framelits theme from the anniversary cards in my last post, here's a pretty birthday card made with some of the larger framelits & my fave Flower Shop & Petite Petals flowers (try saying that quickly).

My card was inspired by one made by the lovely Cathy from my SU team. I hadn't teamed blackberry bliss with pink pirouette before, but they played very nicely together. The pierced border & patterned paper (Park Lane) top was popped with dimensions over the happy birthday panel (Age Awareness). I coloured the flowers with alcohol markers. I made a custom envie with some retired DSP too. You can probably see the raised layers in this pic too.

I really liked how this one turned out, so I hope you like it too. Thanks for visiting. Back soon with some more recent projects. Leave a comment if you have any questions or just to say hi.

Inky wishes, Di

50 happy years - 2 golden anniversary cards

During December, both my lovely Mum & Dad in-law & one of my class lovelies celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary - how wonderful is that?
My aim was to create a soft, elegant card with of course some gold so I came up with these blackberry bliss, gold & vanilla creations.

This one was Mum & Dad's card. It's hard to see (late in the day photo - sorry), but I stamped the lace background (I Love  Lace) with gold encore ink & clear embossed it for glossy gold shine. Normally I'd have used versamark ink with gold embossing powder but to my shock & surprise I didn't have gold embossing powder (what!).  You can maybe see the embossing better in this close-up of the label framelits with gold foil layer.

My friend's card was similar. I didn't add the ribbon, but included a scallop edge (dotted scallop ribbon border punch).

Both cards looked so much prettier in real life, but hopefully you get the idea.
Thanks for stopping by today. Leave me a comment if you have any questions. Remember to pin & like the post if you enjoyed my project.
Inky wishes, Di
