Just Add Ink #748 Sketch

 

Hello,

this week at Just Add Ink we have a sketch challenge, from me! Here it is. This one is symmetrical, but you can still rotate it, which is what I did.

Here's how it turned out.

I was really happy with how my brick wall turned out. To get that effect, I started with a Cajun Craze card stock base, then dragged Early Espresso and Pecan Pie inks across the surface randomly. Before dry embossing, I inked the raised mortar joins with versamark ink. Then immediately after embossing sprinkled white embossing powder over the panel, brushed away the excess, then heated. The wall and greenery provide the perfect place for my lazy cat to nap!

The Just Add Ink DT have lots of project inspiration for the challenge so please go check them and then come back and join in the challenge.

Thanks for visiting,

Kim

Just Add Ink #513 Choose Two

Hello there,

welcome to a new Just Add Ink challenge! This week Di has asked us to Just Choose Two. This time it's Flowers OR Trees OR Texture and you need to choose two of them for your project. My flower stamp collection is ever expanding so the flower choice was obvious and I thought texture was a good match so that's what I went with. 

Here's how it turned out.

Trying to work out the ink combinations for the flowers was a very inky process but in the end I came up with something that I was happy with. For my pink and yellow blooms I worked out that a stamped off layer was actually the best way to get the right shade to start with. I built texture in using several elements  First, I embossed my main panel with the 'Subtle' folder first then the 'Bricks and Mortar' folder. Stitched elements add another layer, then a double layered twine bow* and clear gems, plus a swish of wink of Stella finish it all off. 

*To get the white twine I pulled the blue twine thread out from the Flowers for Every Season twine. I little fiddly but doable.

The Just Add Ink DT have lots of fabulous projects to show you so please go check them out.
