Just Add Ink #201

Pin It

Just Add Ink or JAI for short is a great challenge site.

It is run by a group of Aussie and NZ Demonstrators.

Each week on a Friday there is a new challenge

Go and check it out and have some fun of your own.

This week is a colour challenge.

I showed you the card that I made for Paul's DH birthday yesterday using these colours.

Here's my second card.

 I have used the 'See Ya Later' Stamp Set again, it's a great set of 4 stamps which is one of the Sale-A-Bration Stamp Sets.

I stamped the birthday stamp in Island Indigo Ink on Whisper White Card Stock, then cut using the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

It fits just beautifully in the framelit, I cut 2 more frames one in Real Red and the other in Pool Party cut them in half them mounted them behind the frame for a border.

 

I used a sketch that I found on the net somewhere a while ago, so if is your sketch please let me know and I will give you your credit.

I stamped 'Woodgrain' Stamp, using the same colour ink as card on the large Pool Party piece of card and Sahara Sand piece of card.

Then I run the Sahara Sand and smaller Pool Party card through the Big Shot with Woodgrain Embossing Folder.

I stamped a little bit of the 'Woodgrain' Stamp ink Pool Party on the inside then stamped Happy Birthday from 'Bring on the Cake' Stamp Set in Island Indigo.

To complete the card I added some Island Indigo Ribbon which is a retired ribbon from last years SAB.

Happy Birthday Paul

The Sahara Sand base card I stamped it with the Woodgrain stamp with Sahara Sand Ink.
