Hello there, well the family and I enjoyed a very relaxing few days away at the coast this week. Unfortunately I came back with a nasty head cold that means I am writing this in a very drippy state - ick! However, in contrast to my decidedly icky state of health we have a bold, bright challenge for you this week at Just Add Ink. This week Patrice wants you to Just Add a Colour Combo. Here are the colours. Here's what I came up with. My initial concept for this card was several flowers with the petals coloured but leaving the leaves uncoloured only to discover to my shock, horror and amazement ;) a gap in my stamp collection - yes really! The only current line flower image I have is Birthday Blooms, which I love, but didn't quite fit my original planned layout. In the end I had to adapt to what I had and I think it came up quite nice! Honestly, it's very hard to go wrong playing with water colouring! The rest of the JAI DT have come up with lots of gorgeous colour inspiration so please do go check out their blogs. Thanks for visiting, Kim Recipe: All SU! unless otherwise noted Stamps: Birthday Blooms, Thoughtful Banners Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Basic Black, Very Vanilla Ink: Blushing Bride, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Tuxedo Black (Memento), Versamark Accessories: Banner framelits, Gift Card Envelope and Trims thinlets, Water colour paper, Neutrals DSP stack, Blushing Bride glimmer paper, Basic Black baker's twine, Sequins (In colour (R), Fancy Frost), White patterned vellum (PaperTrey Ink), Black embossing powder, Fine tip glue pen, Tear and Tape, Dimensionals

Welcome back crafters :) #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK Today's blog is about Random Acts Of Kindness. I have made this set of cards for the group that I am part of on FB called Random Act Of Kindness Card Group. If you love the feeling that giving gives you, then you will adore this! When I joined the R.A.K group I was asked to add my address to an International Address file. Then each month we decide whether we are participating and if so, add our names to the list in each monthly event. We then choose Random names from the list, find the corresponding address in the file and send out Happy Mail...Who doesn't love receiving something nice in their mail box, especially a hand made card from the other side of the world! I received one from the Netherlands only the other day! That was so special. If you love sending out smiles (cards) then you can ask to join the group too...Click HERE These cards are also my entry for Global Design Project #GDP081 The design Team have for us this week a colour challenge. I do enjoy a good colour challenge :) The colours are Night of Navy and Whisper White with a free colour choice :) If I am the lucky person to get chosen as the winner then I will be given this opportunity !!! Now that would be an honour! ... Want to join in? Then click HERE and check out the requirements #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK I made 5 cards almost identical except for the FREE colour choice. Each card has a different colour. I am really struggling to choose just one card to enter, so I decided to enter them all! Whoops lol The card colours above are as follows. Back row: left Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Delightful Dijon. Front row: Bermuda Bay and Real Red. Individual cards with Front and Inside Views #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK Doesn't that single colour stand out against the white and Navy!!!. It reminds me a little of the 'In The Lines' DSP For the focal images I used the stamp set 'Helping Me Grow' stamped onto a Whisper White an oval stitched shape. Then this backed with a layer of Night of Navy cut with the largest scalloped framelit from the Layering Ovals framelits set. #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK The background stamp I used is the splash from the 'Touches Of Texture' stamp set. It gives a spritzed effect with the colour. I have used Night of Navy plus the same colour as the focals for each card. #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK All cards except the one below have a Night of Navy card base. Each card sentiment is from the 'Special Reason' stamp set (wowser I am using this set soooo much!) and has been heat embossed in Whisper White onto Night of Navy. #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK This card above has a Whisper White card base, because I placed the Whisper White layer on to the Night of Navy crooked and had to trim it! The joys of creating hahaha But it still looks good, Doesn't it ? #Helpingmegrow #Specialreason #Bermudabay #Richrazzleberry #Delightfuldijon #Realred #Melonmambo #KOCreatiosncards #Stitchedshapes #Layeringovals #Touchesoftexture #RAK I have added 5 sequins to each card front, just to add a touch of bling. Just to keep each card a little different, I have added the sentiments in different positions and in differing style banners. I hope you have enjoyed these cards.
