JAI 300 and PCCC183

Today's card draws inspiration from two sources. Firstly, my favourite challenge site Just Add Ink has a sketch challenge.



And The Paper Craft Crew has a colour challenge that just happened to incorporate some of my favourite colours.

Since the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogues came out last month, my crafting has been dominated by all the wonderful things from those catalogues but today, I wanted to use a favourite from the annual catalogue, Kinda Eclectic. Here's how it turned out.




Update: Delighted to be a Design Team Top Pick at Paper Craft Crew.
Ingredients
Card: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, DSP from Moonlight stack and Wildflower Fields
Stamps: Kinda Eclectic, Crazy About You
Inks: Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon, Old Olive
Other: Candy dot and brad base, linen twine, dimensionals, Blackberry Bliss marker to colour cut edges.

  2. So pretty Jan! I love your use of these bold colours - your layered butterfly and the use of the twine and soft DSP add such texture. Thanks for joining us for our 300th challenge at Just Add Ink this week :-)
