Just Add Ink 71 - Sympathy Card

I am once again participating in the Just Add Ink Challenge. This week's challenge, JAI 71, is a colour challenge...Black & White. Simple you might say. Well not as simple as you would first think! It was harder than I thought using only two colours. I kept wanting to add another colour in, but stuck with the challenge of black & white.

So I did a Sympathy card (not a type of card I make very often, so struggled a little with what is appropriate in these situations)...

As usual, I have gone for a Clean & Simple style. The butterfly stamp is a sneak peak of a new stamp set that will be released in the new Idea Book & Catalogue in September. It is my favourite butterfly stamp so far. I have used a Big Shot embossing folder and the beautiful black satin ribbon and a little rhinestone jewel in the centre of the butterfly (a little hard to see).

Speaking of Simple, don't forget to check out the all new Simple Aussie Girls blog for some great Simple Scrapping Inspiration!

Just Add Ink 55

Sorry I've been missing in action the last week or so. I was flat out organising things for the Open House I had during the week to celebrate Sale-a-bration. Thanks to all the ladies who came along, I hope you enjoyed the night! Over the coming week I will have lots to show you so those that couldn't make it can still see some samples.

Anyway, onto the Just Add Ink 55 challenge. The challenge this week is Just Add Love in recognition of Valentines Day. Of course I couldn't go past one of my favourite Stamp Sets at the moment...Love Defined from the Mini Catalogue. I made this  card very simple as I figure I'll give it to my hubby and he's not really into all the frills etc!! I have used Smooch Spritz (Silver Foil) on this card. I'm still experimenting with using this, but I think it turned out ok...would love to know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by. I'll be back over the next few days with lots to show! Have a good weekend.

I'm a Top Pick!

I'm very proud to say that my scrapbook layout was a Top Pick at Just Add Ink! I'm very excited, I've never been a Top Pick before in a challenge, so I'm honoured!

I'm off on holidays tomorrow so I will leave you with a very quick card I made the other day for a friends birthday. It was very simple and quick to do. This layout could be used for any stamped image so it is very versatile.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back after my break with lots more to share with you.
