Wool You Look At That!

The new challenge at Just Add Ink is a great one (and not just because it was my suggestion! 😉😂) which we hope you'll enjoy using as inspiration for your craft over the next two weeks.


I sure do love me some polka dots! All sizes of dots and especially paired with other patterns, which is just what I did for my card.


The first time I saw this stamp I fell in love with those adorable little fuzzy faces! Here they're looking a tad embarassed and sheepish (lol!) so goodness knows what they're looking at!!! I thought this punny sentiment could be used for someone just getting their drivers licence or passing an exam equally as well as for a birthday or anniversary. 

It's been a long time since I did any watercolouring, so this was a joy to put together.

Materials used:
  • stamps - Shear Surprise (Unity Stamp Co)
  • dies - speech bubbles (SU), stitched rectangle
  • papers - boho watercolour patterns (Etsy)
  • other - sponge dauber, distressing tool, water brush, craft foam, Dimensionals

I hope you'll find some polka dots to play with and join the challenge. Meanwhile, there's more samples to love over on the Just Add Ink blog.

Thanks for dropping by.

Cheers

Sepia Roses

The challenge this week at Just Add Ink is to just add stamps - ie to use nothing but stamps and cardstock. No ribbon, no punches, no buttons, no DSP, no die cuts. NO RIBBON? What were they thinking? LOL.

Well, I decided I just had to take a stab at this challenge! I was inspired by a lovely scrapbook layout that I remembered seeing somewhere which had sepia toned roses in the background, so I got out my stamps and went to work.

Here is my first entry for the challenge. I am not completely happy with it ... my fingers are just itching to add things! Lace! Pearls!


Materials used:
  • stamps - Baby Blossoms, A Rose Is A Rose (retired), Afterthoughts, En Francais, Polka Dot (retired)
  • card - crumb cake, soft suede, very vanilla
  • ink - crumb cake, soft suede
I think I just might be back with a second entry for this one - something more clean and simple so I can live without ribbon!

Thanks for dropping in.

Cheers

Magnolia Mojo

Well after FINALLY getting some P&Q I got a card made for two challenges. The theme at Magnolia Down Under this week is spot the dots and I also used the sketch from Mojo Monday.
This is Tilda holding fall flowers, so that inspired me to use all Earth Elements colours - ruby red, not quite navy, close to cocoa, chocolate chip, old olive, more mustard and pumpkin pie.

Thanks for dropping by!
