Let Life Surprise You - Just Add Ink Challenge #726

It's Friday, which means a new Just Add Ink challenge, and this time around it's an inspiration moodboard. 

I couldn't resist using the adorable little ginger kitten and tartan blanket as inspiration for a simple layered card.

Kittens are so playful and sweet, I challenge anyone not to go gaga over them, lol. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Three Little Kittens (Mo Manning), Tiny Text (Tim Holtz)
• other - Copic markers, blending brush, MISTI, stitched rectangle die, Big Shot, craft foam, white gel pen, blue distress ink

Which aspect of the pictures makes you want to create? Whatever you choose, we hope you'll share and link up on the Just Add Ink blog.

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers

You Make Life Sweeter

I was fortunate enough to have my entry for Color Throwdown challenge #696 picked (see my card HERE) and was consequently offered the opportunity to be Featured Stamper for their new challenge #698. Here's the combo:

How yum do those strawberries look? They're one of the things I love most about summer. I definitely wanted to use strawberries on my card so I picked an adorable image from Mo Manning and coloured it with Copics. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Berry Fairy Aliz (Mo Manning), Love & Chocolate (Newton's Nook)
• card - basic white, blushing bride patterned paper 
• Copics - R01,02,29,37,89; W0,2; G24,40,43; Y15,17; E000,00,11,13,21,23,33
• other - white gel pen, clear Wink of Stella, cherry cobbler baker's twine, craft foam, stitched rectangle die, Big Shot, MISTI

Thanks again to the CTD folks and to you for stopping by.

Cheers

NSU - Love You Honey

Today's card is my second offering with copic colouring - I'm very new at this but am loving the challenge. I think I enjoy it as much as watercolouring, although it is a bit more difficult I find!

Anyway, one of the images I couldn't wait to colour was this totally adorable Mo Manning drawing of Baby Fairy Bee. Sooooooooo cute! The curly hair gave me some problems and I can see I'm going to have to look up some tutorials on that, but otherwise I am quite happy with it for a beginner.

Check out this sweetie:

 Materials used:

• stamps - Baby Fairy Bee (digital stamp - Mo Manning), Lovely Little Labels (SU)
• card - perfect plum, whisper white, basic grey, pumpkin pie polka dot dsp, XPress It
• other - SU jewellery tag punch, Cheery Lynn honeycomb die, paper flowers, mounting tape, copics, SU 1.6 cm organza ribbon, SU ovals framelits, Big Shot, hot glue gun, Spica glitter pen

I coloured the hair last and one of my brown pens leaked two HUGE blobs of ink! Luckily for me, they were right on the hairline, so I cut around the image and stuck it over a second one to save me having to start all over again! There was a fair bit of muttering going on, as you can imagine! LOL!

Well, hope you like my offering. Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers
