JAI 507 sketch challenge - star rainbow birthday


This week's new Just Add Ink challenge is live and Jackie has given us this fun, angled sketch to work with. I've been playing around with rainbows and my Stitched Stars so I went with that theme and this is what I came up with.

Timeless Tropical Birthdays 3 - even more cards

I was waylaid from sharing the other Timeless Tropical bundle cards but here they are now. Both cards are adapted using mostly the same elements from my original class card you'll find here.

You'll see all the cards together at the end of this post too.

JAI 505 Just Add thinking of you - birds & hugs



Hello! This week's new challenge at Just Add Ink is to create a thinking of you project, which couldn't be a simpler challenge or more appropriate right now. I'm sure you can think of lots of people to send your card to. This is what I made.

Timeless Tropical Birthday 2 - double easel card

Today I have another of my Timeless Tropical bundle cards to share with you - this one shows a gorgeous hibiscus teamed with another amazing floral print paper from the Tropical Oasis pack.

This has many similar elements to yesterday's cards, but I've stepped it up to make a double easel card - because you know I can't resist an easy fancy fold.

Timeless Tropical Birthdays 1

Today I'm sharing a card made with the Tropical Oasis suite of products, which I used in my ummm... end of February class - those so long ago days when we could spend time in person with each other and before life at home became a bit crazy too.

I just love the hibiscus & frangipani flowers, and general vintage vibe in the Timeless Tropical stamp die bundle, and Tropical Oasis paper I've used. They so remind me of our trips to Hawaii. Since we won't be getting back there any time soon I can at least dream of it with my cards.

JAI 499 colour challenge - thinking of you butterfly


It's colour challenge week at Just Add Ink and Rachael has given us a pretty pastel palette to work with. I don't know that I'd have thought to combine them all on a project myself so it was a good challenge to try. I kept the design clean and simple to let the colours shine.
