JAI # 38

Hi Everyone, sorry I haven't blogged for a few day.

I have been very busy in my garden this week, with the help of my Dad we have planted tomatoes, cabbage green and red, cauliflower, broccoli, 2 varieties of lettuce, spring onions, strawberries and potatoes.

Thanks Dad for all your help.

So I haven't got any crafting done, with gardening and the Commonwealth Games on tv.

I haven't watched the games tonight and have been working on a birthday card for my Mother In Law, her birthday is next Friday.

After seeing the challenge at 'Just Add Ink' this week, I thought I would use Pink for the card.

JUST ADD BLING ... and PINK!

I don't like a lot of pinks (soft pinks especially) but I do like Melon Mambo so I have used that.

And after talking to Jennie my downline tonight about Shimmer Paints, I knew what I was going to do.

I have used the Floating Watercolour Technique using Watercolour Paper, Re-Inkers mixed with Frost White Shimmer Paint and Aqua Painters.

I sponged the Ink mixed with Shimmer Paint directly onto the stamp, it gives it a beautiful shimmer.

I decided less was more and added only 1 Rhinestone, for the dot on the I in birthday.

Supplies List

Stamp Sets: Fifth Avenue Floral and Perfect Punches.

Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White and Watercolour Paper.

Inks: Melon Mambo, Elegant Eggplant and VersaMark.

Extras: Frost White Shimmer Paint, Aqua Painters, Clear Embossing Powder, Embossing Buddy, Powder Pal, Big Shot, Manhattan Flower Embossing Folder, Basic Rhinestones, Sponges and Stampin' Dimensionals.

Have a great weekend.
