This weeks challenge for Just Add Ink is a colour challenge. It proved more of a challenge than I first thought. While I had card stock in these colours, I didn't have any inks!! Thank goodness for fellow demonstrators who are only too willing to help out a friend! A BIG thanks to Diane Taylor for letting me use not only her ink, but her stamp (Blooming with Beauty) too!! These were the colours we needed to include on our projects:
I thought I would try out a couple of different techniques as well, as if the colours weren't challenge enough, lol!!
I stamped the image with Black Staz On. I coloured direct from the ink pad using a blender pen to create depth in the picture. I used SU Rubs ons from the Chit Chat set on the ribbon. These rub ons are fantastic. You can use them on just about any surface. Look how well they transferred on to the ribbon! I created my own button from sage shadow using the technique Danielle Dawes showed us all how to do. Check out her tutorial HERE. Thanks for stopping by!
Hi there, I just want to say how lovely your card is and the colours have been used so well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You've done an awesome job with the colouring of Blooming With Beauty, it looks so realistic. The rounded corners add elegance too. And of course I love the button you made!! Thanks for playing!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely, Paula! Your colouring is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the button link, too - must try that!
ReplyDeleteOoh Paula ... what a simply gorgeous creation, your watercolouring is stunning. Had no idea that rub-ons would transfer soo well onto ribbon, thanks for the heads up, and I love the faux button it sets off your card very nicely!!!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE this stamp set, and it works so well with these colours. The rub-ons are a great idea on the ribbon.
ReplyDeleteThe finished product looks great, Love the sage shadow button and how cool the rub ons look on ribbon, another wonderful card!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Love how you have coloured the flowers, very life like, and you have balanced the colour combo beautifully.

ReplyDeleteWow Paula this is amazing.I thnik I need more practise with the blender pen.
