Whales of the Ocean cards

Remember the whale card I shared a couple of weeks ago? I got a bit whale obsessed and made more cards - this time teamed with a paper print from the amazing Waves of the Ocean paper pack  to create some fun watery scenes. Sadly this is a last hurrah for the paper as it's only available until 2 May. Get it now if you love it. Take a closer look at the cards:

 

JAI 601 sketch challenge - Let's have a cup of tea

 

Hello & welcome. Today I'm sharing a sweet tea cup themed card using the new Cup of Tea stamp set and bundle. This is my Design Team project for this week's Just Add Ink challenge, which is a sketch with many, many possibilities. I hope you like how I used it.

Simply blended stitched leaves

Hello & welcome. As promised last post when I shared this leafy card, I have 2 more cards to share made with the Stitched Leaves dies. Both are very clean & simple and include blended ink panels, one with patterned paper and one with the Timber embossing folder. Let's take a look.

JAI 600 inspiration challenge - leafy thanks

Hello & welcome. Today I'm sharing a project for Just Add Ink's 600th challenge. A major milestone worth celebrating.

The inspiration image has lots of lovely details and texture but did challenge me, as the colours are not my fave choices. That said, the leaves reminded me of the beautiful Stitched Leaves dies so I've used these to create a card that fits the challenge in my style. I hope you like what I made.

JAI 599 Just add fave animal - Whale amazing thanks

Hello & welcome to a new project share for this week's Just Add Ink challenge suggested by Kerry - Just Add your favourite animal.

The trickiest part of this challenge was choosing my favourite animal. It's like choosing your favourite human or fur child. After much pondering I chose whales - and made a thank you card for a dear & amazing friend.

I mixed new and old goodies on my card - new Waves dies & Blue foils from the Waves of the Ocean collection (see & click image at end of post to see all items), current Amazing Thanks dies & Whale Punch, and papers from the Whale of a Time paper pack. (retired sadly in 2021 & one of our most beautifully illustrated packs ever - a big call I know). Take a look at how it turned out.

JAI 597 choose two challenge - Inspired by Ink floral birthday

Hello and welcome. How can it be April 1st already? Anyway today I'm sharing my team project for this week's Just Add Ink - Choose Two challenge - flower, paper or pattern.

I of course chose flowers and paper creating a pretty floral birthday card for a friend & SU teamie using the Artistically Inked stamp and Artistic die bundle teamed with the coordinating Expression in Ink patterned paper. Take a look.

JAI 595 inspiration challenge - butterfly wreath birthday

Hello & welcome. Today's share is my Design Team project for this week's Just Add Ink's inspiration challenge.

I took my inspiration from the pretty wreath and its shades of mainly green and white and chose to use create my own wreath. I used the pretty fern image in the Positive Thoughts stamp set and added a whimsical touch with butterflies instead of flowers. Here's how it turned out.

JAI 593 colour challenge - sunflower thanks

Hello & welcome!  It's Just Add Ink challenge time again. Tina chose a happy, sunshin-ey colour palette of Polished Pink, Coastal Cabana & Daffodil Delight.

I chose sunflowers as my daffodil yellow element, using the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp and die bundle. Polished Pink & Coastal Cabana ink blending added the two remaining challenge colours and I teamed it with a print from the All Together special release paper pack. Here's the finished card.

Paradise Palms sunset birthday

Hello & welcome.
Who doesn't love a good sunset or sunrise? Especially at a beautiful beach. Today I'm sharing a birthday card made for a friend using the Paradise Palms stamp set and die bundle which includes the Paradise Palms stamp set and Palms dies.

I think I was channeling memories of good times in Hawaii creating this one.
