Just Add Ink #25

Hi Everyone!

Had a lovely evening catching up with some friends. Stamping, scrapping, chatting and chocolate. What more could you ask for!!

I had another go at the Just Add Ink Challenge. Having a ball doing these. The girls come up with some really gorgeous colour combos that really stick in my head!

This week's Colour Challenge is below.....

and here is what I came up with. Played around with MANY different ideas and am really happy with the end result. I have been wanting to use a ribbon rosette on a card for ages and have been tring to get a more layered effect with it. I think it looks pretty good. I didn't have a button in the right colour so I turned one of the SU buttons over to the rough side and sponged ink on it!!

Stamp Sets: Baroque Motifs, Occassional Greetings

Cardstock & Inks: Elegant Eggplant, Soft Suede, Rose Red

Accessories: Rose Red Wide Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Button Bouquet, Scallop Edge Punch, Mat Pack

Some more cards to share...

After my scrap weekend with my friends last weekend I have HEAPS to show you but haven't managed to photograph it all yet. I will soon I promise!!

In the meantime, here is some other new cards to keep you going :)

This first card was the one I made for my wonderful hubby for our 5 year wedding anniversary :)

Stamps: Pendant Park, Occassions for all (Hostess Set), Occassional Greetings
Cardstock: Kraft, Ridinghood Red, Whisper White
Inks & Accessories: Chocolate Chip Ink, Old Olive Ink, Ridinghood Red Ink, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, Top Note Die (Big Shot)

The next one was inspired by a card I saw on Splitcoast Stampers which I can't find now!! So thankyou to whoever it was!

I LOVE this card, I think it is perfect for a male card and could be lovely if you change the colours to make it more feminine :) I have made multiple copies of this card and changed the sentiment on each one - so easy to do with Teeny Tiny Sentiments!!

Oh and if you look closely you can see that the medallion stamp has been clear embossed which just gives it a bit more oomph!!

Inks & Accessories: Not Quite Navy Ink, Baja Breeze Ink, Versamark, Clear Embossing Powder, Top Note Die (Big Shot), Lots of Tags Sizzlets (Big Shot), Silver Brads, Word Window Punch

Last one, this was another card I thought would be good as a masculine card.
