Just Add Ink #498 | Just Add 'E'

Hello stamping friends! Welcome, Welcome! It's so good to have you here today! Another Friday has rolled around so that means its time for another Just Add Ink Challenge.

This week we are all about the letter 'E'. Could be for eggs, easter, elegant, your favourite fancy fold beginning with E, your favourite colour or stamp set. Whatever your imagination desires, as long as it begins with 'E'.

On first cglance when looking at my card for today, you may ask what does a regular card have to do with the letter 'E'. But when you open the card you reveal that it is an Easel Card. I've never made one of these before, so it was good to make something different that a standard card.

I've used products from the Ornate Garden Suite, that is on preorder for Stampin' Up! demonstrators at the moment. I've started the card with a Mint Macaron Card Base and then layered on that Shimmery White Cardstock and soem of the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. The patten on the DSP was a little too busy for my liking with the large floral image so I covered it with Vellum to make for a softer look.

I stamped the floral image from the Ornate Style Stamp Set with Versamark Ink on Fluid 100 Watercolour paper and then embossed it with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. The image was then watercoloured with various Stampin' Up! Classic Inks using an aqua painter. I've used the border die from the Ornate Borders Dies, die cut on Gold Foil Sheets, as an accent on the front of the card but also for the strip on the inside to 'hold' the card up. 

The card has been finished off with a sentiment from the Band Together Stamp Set, some gold embossed splatters, Whisper White Solid Bakers Twine and some Gilded Gems.

I do hope that I've given you some inspiration for this weeks challenge and that you will come and join in the fun.
