Rochelle has set us a challenge, at Just Add Ink this week, to Just Add Ombre to a papercraft project.

I kept my use of ombre a bit simple, inking up some hearts with my Bermuda Bay Ombre stampin' pad.  So Saffron would be my least used Stampin' Up! colour, but I enjoyed using it on this card, as it is one of the colours in the gorgeous Cupcakes & Carousels Designer Series Paper I'd chosen to use.



I have listed below all the Stampin' Up! products used to make my card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, clicking on one of the thumbnail images will take you direct to my online store.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team ombre creations; there's some gorgeous inspiration for you here.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!  We would love for you to create something using an ombre effect, and link your project up on the Just Add Ink blog.

I'm home from the AMAZING Stampin' Up! OnStage event in Brisbane, and am feeling excited and energised about what's coming up in the next couple of months.

In my adjustment to returning home (I was getting rather used to having not to cook, being away for 5 days!), I almost missed out on getting organised for this week's Just Add Ink challenge.  It had been playing on my mind before I went away, as I just couldn't figure out how to use these colours together:



However, when I sat down in my craft room, it all came together beautifully - thanks to a gorgeous Project Life card that was my jumping-off point.  I have added some stamped and die-cut flowers and foliage to the design that was already on the card.  The ready-made circular panel invited a bit of faint stamping (of a floral vine-like image, from Designer Tin of Cards) beneath the sentiment that I ultimately chose.





The rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team have done amazing things with this colour combo - be sure to check them out here.

Rochelle has set a gorgeous colour challenge for us at Just Add Ink this week.




I've used my new Touches of Texture stamp set to make a birthday card in these colours.  I love the grungy look of some of the stamps in this set.  The "messy" look of the flowers really appeals to me - it's rather liberating to not be as particular as I normally am, about colouring in the lines!

This card started with me stamping the lacy background stamp in Blushing Bride (stamped off once, so it's very faint), all over the Very Vanilla card.  I stamped one flower stem and flower head in Chocolate Chip ink, then did a bit of masking to fit two more flowers across the card.  The leaves and petals are filled in with a few different stamps from the set.



Here is a close-up of the background, so you can see I did incorporate Blushing Bride on my card!



I am in love with that banner sentiment.  It's from Time of Year, which is a hostess stamp set, available only if you place an order over $250.  I love that it's one of several sets that co-ordinates with the Bunch of Banners framelits.  The small "Happy" is from the gorgeous Designer Tin of Cards stamp set.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations.  It's awesome to see how different everyone's creations are, using the same colours.
