JUST ADD INK COME BACK!
While at Convention in Brisbane this year, I had the opportunity to hang out with a great bunch of gals I got to know very well a couple of years back - the Just Add Ink team. I loved my time on the design team, but life got in the way for a while and I had to step down. Well, while at Convention I had the opportunity to join the team again, which I have!! I am so excited (and honored) to be back designing with this amazingly talented bunch of women.
So this week's challenge - Just Add Leaves!!

I have gone with a completely different style of card than my normal artwork. I have used my Bog Shot to die cut a branch of leaves, which I have used as my main image. Behind the main image, I have used the negative of the branch as a mask and sponged (with daubers) leaves directly onto the card stock. This is a fun and subtle way of adding interest to a card front. I hope you will pop over to JUST ADD INK this week and join in the challenge!!

Paula what a fab idea to use the negative of that die to sponge on the leaf pattern in the background! Love how the black leaf is the star of your card.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations :) and what a lovely card to start with. I look forward to more of your creations and inspiration.
ReplyDeletePaula, I love the softness of the sponged foliage, in contrast to the bold die-cut leaves. Gorgeous colour choices, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the very modern arty feel to this Paula. You've created so much depth just with ink! Love the way you see the stamped design through the washi too - great effect! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to have you back on the team :)
Paula,
ReplyDeletegorgeous card.

Hi Paula! Lovely to meet you at Convention. Thanks for commenting on my This and That book. Well done on being back on Just Add Ink! This is a beautiful card. You do such lovely work. I also love that you typed 'Bog' Shot - I do that all the time. It least we don't get the vowel in the second word wrong!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comment on my blog....I'm so glad you showed us the Bouncing Brayer technique at Convention - it really rocks! Thank you!! xxx
Love this cutie, Paula. I was telling the Aussies who I was with at convention that you were the sponging queen - seconds later you said it yourself! Funny moment. This card def lives up to your name. xox
