Just Add Ink #559 | Just Choose Two Challenge

 Hello there stamping friends! Happy Friday! Welcome and thanks for joining me on my blog today. It's so good to have you here.  I hope you're having a fabulous day and that you have all been safe and well. Today we over at Just Add Ink have another creative challenge for you. This week its a fantstic Just Chose Two Challenge, chosen by Just Add Ink team member Di Barnes - Just Add Ink #559 | Just Choose Two Challenge.

I haven't done a Just Choose Two for a while so it's nice to have a change up in the challenge schedule. This week its all about stitching (faux or real), stripes or paper strips. I've gone with stripes (of course) and then stitching for my project today, but really I could have included all three.

I've gone for a gorgeous Polished Pink, Black, White and Gold colour combo for you today. Have you used the new and gorgeous Polished Pink In Color yet? It is super pretty and goes so fabulously with a classic black and white colour combo.

I couldn't go past using the Black and White Stripes from the Pattern Party DSP and to give the stripes a bit of a softer look I've layered a piece of vellum over the top. I've used the Stitched Greenery Die on the vellum for my stitched element. How gorgeous is the stitched pattern from the die? This is the first time that I've used it and I have a feeling that it will be one of those products that will be used on everything.

Over the vellum I've placed a die cut from the Artistic Dies. This is one of those dies that looks stunning on its own. I really love it in the Shimmery White. The die cut really doesn't need much else with it but I had to add few things with it to give it that extra special touch. Behind the die cut I've placed some of the gold Expressions in Ink Ephrmera Pack for a stunning gold touch.

 I've finished off the card with some linen thread, a strip of Polished Pink and the Thanks from the Artisically Inked stamp set and then some of the adhesive backed sequins also from the Expressions in Ink Ephrmera pack.

There are lots of AMAZING creations from the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team on the JAI Blog. Go and check out to see what 'two' they all used this week and then while you are there you can see how you can enter your project. Can't wait to see what 'two' you used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!

Just Add Ink #557 | Inspiration Challenge

 Hello stamping friends! Happy Friday! Another Friday means it's time for a new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #557 | Inspiration Challenge. We've got a fabulous inspiration picture full of fabulous neutrals, lots of rustic elements, some touches of black & White and a fabulous array of greenery. There is lots to look at in this gorgeous picture and lots that should spark your imagination.


 I've chosen some of the colours in this picture today and the greenery for the basis of my card today.  I gone with Crumb Cake, some Black & White and then a spray of leaves in some of the 2021 - 2023 In Colours.

 
I've used the Crumb Cake cardstock as my base. It really is the perfect neutral and goes with absolutely everything! You would be hard pressed to find a colour that it didn't go with. I really love Crumb cake with Black and White like what I've done here today using the stripes from the Pattern Party DSP. This DSP is a hostess only reward which means either place an order with me or host a party with me over $310 AUD and you can have this pack of DSP for FREE! Contact me today to find out more about how you can get your hands on it!


 Combined with the base layers of my card I've used some of the products from the Expressions in Ink suite from the new 2021 - 2022 Annual Catalogue. The Happy Birthday and the die cut leaves come from the Artistically Inked Bundle and then the gold elements and the sequins come from the Expressions in Ink Ephermera and they are all part of this amazing suite.

 
Because I'm loving the simple elegance of this card, it really has that less is more kind of feel, I really thought that it didn't need much else to finish it off other than my all time favourite trim - Linen Thread. 

The Just Add Ink Design Team have lots of amazing creations for you and to show you what inspired them. You'll be surprised at all the different projects we came up with. We hope that you'll join in this weeks challenge. I can't wait to see you join in and to see what has inspired you this week.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
