Hello again! I’m popping in today to show you my creation for this week’s Just Add Ink challenge. Challenge #371 is a Just Add Two challenge – Kids, Pets, Patterned Paper.
For my card, I used Pets and Patterned Paper as my inspiration. I also used a card layout by the talented Holly Stene to create it. The stamp set I used was Bella & Friends, and the patterned paper was Coffee Break Designer Series Paper.
Starting with a card base of Soft Suede, I flicked ink over it using a marker. The Coffee Break DSP and a piece of vellum were glued on the card front. I stamped an image from Bella and Friends onto Watercolor Paper using Archival Black ink, and coloured it using an Aqua Painter and Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, Sahara Sand, Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sky inks.
Using Soft Sky cardstock, I made a banner to finish the front of the card, and stamped a sentiment using Soft Suede ink. The inside of the card was flicked with ink from a marker, and a few loops of Linen Thread were stuck in place with a Glue Dot, then a banner of Soft Sky cardstock stamped with a sentiment, was adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The card was finished off with a bow of Linen Thread around the front.
Thank you for popping in to have a look at my creation – head to Just Add Ink to take part in challenge #371 too. ‘Til next time x

Beautiful card Rachael. And I just love what you did for the inside too. I’m a shocker for leaving that blank. Oh and can I say how gorgeous your blog is!!
It’s so nice to have you on the JAI team, Chlo xx
Thank you Chloe! I hate to leave my card inners and envelopes ‘under-dressed’ when I put so much effort into the card front! ;) x
Thank you Chlo xx
Your creation is so gorgeous, Rachael. I love the watercolouring of your puppy, and the colour combo is lovely too. So lovely to be a JAI Guest Designer with you. D xox
Thank you Denita! I still have a long way to go before I’m totally confident with my watercolouring, but I’m pretty happy with how Bella turned out :) x
Thank you Denita xx
Your card is so gorgeous, Rachael. That little Bella is too adorable, I love the layout of your card (think I may have to pinch it & try for myself) & the Coffee Break dsp works so well! x
Thank you Patrice! I wanted to show that you could use Coffee Break DSP for more than just coffee-themed cards and projects ;) xx
Thank you Patrice xx
This is so adorable Rachael! Your water colouring is beautifully done and I love how your vellum layer softens the colours in the DSP and your card inside is super cute too! xx

Stunning Card Rachael, I adore the soft look you achieved by adding the vellum over the DSP. Love this layout and your colouring of Bella is just beautiful. The small but significantly stunning details you have added to both the inside of the card and envelope are simply the sweetest! Love your photography skills, your photo’s always look amazing!
Thank you Jackie – would you believe I’m still not happy with my photography skills yet?? :D xx
Stunning card Rachael. Love that layout and the inside is gorgeous too.
Your little puppy is just to die for, so cute! Love the layout and the DSP goes so well with your design xx
