Just Add Ink Challenge 75

Hello,

July is the month that I get to be a guest designer on Just Add Ink and what an honour that is! The challenge this week is a colour challenge. Here are the colours:




I wanted to make a thank you card for my mother in law for her help and generosity in setting up the nursery for our baby who is due to arrive in September. I used the Eastern Blooms and Sincere Salutations stamp sets. I also used a technique which I picked up from the swaps from the Stampin Up convention in May, which was using the rock n roll technique with a clear mount block. I was very happy with the end result, hope you like it.

Black and White

With the Just Add Ink team setting a colour challenge of black and white, I decided that they would be ideal colours for a birthday card for a friend. Having no real idea what I was going to do, I sat down with a piece of white card and a piece of black card and came with with a card rather quickly. I utilised one of the Big Shot embossing folders and the torn frame technique that my upline Sharnee demonstrated at the Stampin' Up Convention in May. I am quite happy with the end product. Some time it is good to go back to basics!

My Manly Stamper

My lovely husband, Colin who presently dying of man flu, dabbles in some stamping every now and then and thought that he might get on board with an online challenge, he combined two challenges in one. This is Colin stamping up his creation:



And this his creation, which you can also view on his blog Colblue Photography



I think he has done an awesome job, but he always thinks that he can do better, typical stamper!!

Inkspirations Colour Challenge

Having enjoyed my first colour challenge so much I thought I would have a crack at theInkspirations. The colours for this challenge are:




I decided to do a scrapbooking page of our super gorgeous god daughter enjoying being outside picking one of her favourite foods, strawberries! This is what I came up with:

JAI Colour Challenge 60

Having caught the online challenge bug, I decided to give the next Just Add Ink Colour Challenge a go. Unfortunatley, I had to make a sympathy card for a male friend and thought that the colours would work well. Here are the colours for the JAI Challenge:



And this is what I came up with:
