JAI764 Choose Two challenge - Wildflower birthday paper-thanks

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a Choose Two challenge with the options of including pearls, patterned paper, or pastels in a project. Easy choices for me - how can you resist using patterned paper, and pastels are some of my favourite shades. I chose to combine two different patterned papers - Wildflower Birthday and Thoughtful Journey to create a quick and easy card. Here's how it turned out.

 

JAI 762 inspiration challenge - leafy warm wishes

JAI 758 sketch challenge Peaceful View flip window fun fold

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a sketch with really easy elements and possibilities. The circle element reminded me of another favourite fun fold card with a surprise inside so I used a new background (card sized) stamp called Peaceful View as the basis for my card, turning the sketch upside down to fit the focal area I wanted. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 754 Choose Two challenge - Frames and Flowers card set

Hello & welcome to my latest Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a Choose Two challenge, and the choices are to include a die cut, flower, or ribbon.

The Frames and Flowers Specialty Paper pack came immediately to mind as it includes die cut flowers and foliage sheets as well as regular papers. These combined paper and die cut packs lend themselves to easy, quick cards that include lovely details, perfect for when you want to create but not from scratch. I made five cards in the time it would usually take me to make one. Here's how they turned out.

Here's how it turned out.

JAI 742 inspiration challenge - leafy get well

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. I'm away at the annual Stampin' Up! Onstage event in Brisbane so I'll have to keep this post brief. This week is a photo inspiration challenge featuring a tropical garden scene that I'd love to be able to relax in.  I chose to focus on the tropical plants, furniture, and colours in the image using the Country Flowers stamps and dies bundle. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 740 colour challenge - beach day birthday

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a colour challenge to use Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, Pretty in Pink and white in a project.

JAI 713 Choose Two - Tune in TV birthday

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.
