JUST ADD A BURST OF COLOUR!

Well, we Just Add Ink designers were set a real challenge this week!!  Just add......A burst of colour!!  A broad description of the challenge and anything goes!  You can use the picture as inspiration, the colours, or simply (as I did), what a burst of colour means to YOU!  Here is the inspirational picture to guide you!

I opted to use the flower as a starting point and dug out my "Because I care" stamp set.  I love the Hydrangea image!  I also wanted "bright", so chose Pumkpin Pie as my main colour.

I used the flower to stamp the background of my card base in Choclate Chip.  I then stamped the same flower on Whisper White for my focal image and embossed it too.  This makes colouring so much easier, especially if colouring is just not your thing and you don't have a steady hand!  I coloured the main image using my blender pens and simply picked up the colour from my ink pad lid to apply.

I love the big fat ribbon!!  Even though this ribbon is so wide, it is also so soft, making bow tying a breeze!

I have carried part of the flower image to the inside of my card as well and added a sentiment here, rather than on the front of the card.  I think there was enough going on there with out adding a sentiment too, lol

I have also entered another challenge with this card, Pals Paper Arts - PPA78 Element of Style - BOWS! I haven't entered other challenges for quite some time, so was really excited to see this one!  Go check it out and enter too :-)

Be sure to check out the other designers work when you pay JAI a visit this week.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!
