Just Add Ink Challenge - Balloons

Just Add Ink 147

I thought I would quickly play along at the Just Add Ink Challenge this week, which is themed around 'Balloons'. As soon as a noticed the theme I knew I had to use a stamp from my newly aquired stamp set, 'Little Friends', which was actually a gift from my upline Teneale Williams - Thanks Teneale!

I thought this would be a great thank you card for a pre-school teacher, so I also made a super simple, yet very cute gift bag using the Big Shot Fancy Favor Bigz Die and paper from the Storytime Designer Paper.

Stamp Set: Little Friends - Page 52

Accessories: Watercolor Paper, Blender Pen, Stampin' Markers, Baker's Twine, Stitched Grosgrain

   Colour Combination: Coordinating colours from the Storytime Designer Paper  - Page 163

Just Add Ink - A Note of Thanks

Just Add Ink 128

I know, two challenges in a week! 

I have been wanting to play along at the Just Add Ink Challenge for a while now, ever since I met the beautiful Nikki Spencer at the Stampin' Up! Convention this year. She forms part of the design team at Just Add Ink and is such a talented crafter. 

The idea around this weeks challenge is to be inspired by the photo. I decided to case my own swap card! Is that bad? (My swap card is the card I made to swap with other ladies cards at Convention this year...I made 70! ) I did this because I really enjoyed making these and really do love this 'Array Of Sunshine' hostess stamp set. It also matches all the colours and elements in the photo.

My 'Note Of Thanks' card has been made for a lovely, talented lady who I have only had the oppotunity to meet briefly, however she drove me back from Convention in Canberra this year and I am so grateful. A huge thank you Marelle Taylor for making space for me, in a car packed with Stampin' Up! goodies!
