Hello again! I’m popping in today to show you my creation for this week’s Just Add Ink challenge. Challenge #369 is an inspiration challenge, using the photo below. What excites me about this week, is that it’s my first time as a Guest Designer for Just Add Ink! I was thrilled when the admin team asked me to take part, so I hope you enjoy what I have created for you! ;)
For my creation, I took inspiration from the balloon, water, and 3 colours I picked up from the balloon – Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Pool Party. I used a base of thick Whisper White card. On the card front I pasted a piece of retired DSP with Pool Party coloured stripe print on it.
On Watercolor Paper, I stamped and heat embossed the balloon images from Lift Me Up, using Versamark and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. This was then given a watercolour wash with an Aqua Painter, using Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Pool Party inks.
On a banner of Pool Party card, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Lift Me Up, using Versamark and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. This was adhered to the card over a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper and a few loops of Silver Metallic Thread.
A few Pool Party and Pumpkin Pie Enamel Shapes finished off the card.
Thank you for popping in to have a look at my creation – don’t forget to pop over to Just Add Ink to take part in challenge #369! ‘Til next time x
