JAI #80

I hope you will join us this week at JUST ADD INK for this fabulous sketch challenge we have for you!


I loved the sketch when I saw it and knew I wanted to do a double fold card that you could latch closed.

I have also used a stamp set I have admired for some time and only just ordered for myself - Greenhouse Garden.  Such a gorgeous Two-step stamp set!  I don't own a much in the way of floral stamps, so I really enjoyed playing with this set!  I also teamed it up with my Colour Sprizter tool for added texture to an otherwise plain card front.  I have used new Glimmer Brads on the front and wrapped Early Espresso ribbon around them to close the card.

I chose Early Espresso, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White for my colours and carried the image over to the inside of the card.  I have also used my trusty Mat Pack and piercing tool to outline the white panels.

I hope you find inspiration in this sketch challenge too and join in the fun this week at JUST ADD INK.  The Design team have come up with beautiful samples for you to oooh and aaah over too, so be sure to pop by for a look!
