Grey Butterflies

Today I had few minutes to play in my craft room and wondered what I should make!
So I headed to a few of my favourite challenge blogs to see what was on offer.

I decided to mesh 3 challenges into one card - Less is more #127, Freshly made sketches #93 and Case Study #148

I tried to make this card clean and simple but I really feel like I need to add more (bling, paper piercing etc) but I resisted and left it as is.....

Here are the challenges I've entered:

Less is more -

Freshly made sketches -

CASE Study -

I hope you've had a lovely relaxing weekend.

Just Add Ink 171 - Sketch

Pin It

Happy Friday readers!!

I hope you are excited that it's almost the weekend and you're pumped to play along with the Just Add Ink sketch this week :)

For this card I glued the dsp to some card stock before cutting out the centre.   I did this because I wanted to give it some extra strength as I've popped the whole panel up on dimentionals.

The design team have come up with so many different ways to use this sketch so make sure you pop over to the JAI site and check them out!

We can't wait to see how you use this sketch for you inspiration so don't forget to link up!!

Just Add Ink 169 - Inspiration photo

Pin It

Well I'm off traveling for a few days for work so I've schedule this post just to make sure you don't miss out on getting a little bit of inspiration for the Just Add Ink challenge this week.

We've got such a fun inspiration picture for you to use, so pop over and check it out!

I must say that when I first saw the inspiration picture I was pretty unsure of what I should create. There are so many different ways that you can interpret this picture!!

Other than the picture the next starting point for me was the ruffled white ribbon tucked away in the background.  My BFF sent me some lovely happy mail last week and this was part of the beautiful wrapping - it's so cute how could I not reuse it!!! 

I had fun making splotches of champagne shimmer mist and ink for the panel behind the flowers!!

Here is the inspiration picture

I hope you find time to share your creation with us at Just Add Ink this week.

Happy weekend!!

Why hello!

We've had a long weekend here in Australia I've finally had time to play along with a few challenges :) Yippee

Today I played along with the Just Us Girls challenge #192 to use washi tape and the Friday Mashup #113 challenge to make a Girly project. 

I really had fun making this card because it uses my favourite colour - Pink!

I've used
Paper - Whisper White
Ink - Pink Pirrouette, Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo
Stamp Set - Stippled Blossoms
Other: Washi tape, Champagne shimmer mist and Tim Holtz embossing folder


I hope you've had a lovely Monday and I'll pop back here later in the week with some inspiration for the Just Add Ink challenge.

Just Add Ink 165 - Woodgrain

Pin It

Hey everyone!

Sorry this post is little late but I thought I'd scheduled it for yesterday but I must have forgotten to do that part :P

Just Add Ink have a very different challenge this week - just add woodgrain!!
There are plenty of ways you can incorporate woodgrain in to your creation, just like the design team have done so pop on over and check them all out.

I thought woodgrain would really suit a masculine card and that's what I set out to make however I remember this pretty Stampin' UP! lace and thought it would look really nice too.  SO I ended up with a card that I'll give to my Mum for mothers day.  Does that ever happen to you... change of focus mid creation?? 

I'd really love to see your creation so please don't forget to link it up here.

I hope you have a lovely weekend
