Just Add Ink #420 Inspiration

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome to Just Add Ink Challenge #420. This week we have a gorgeous inspiration picture to play along with. Such a vibrant and colourful image, there are so many stunning colours that maybe the inspiration behind your creation, or maybe the large flower. Whatever the inspiration, we would love for you join us.

I originally was going to create a brightly coloured floral card but when I looked at all the floral stamp sets I own I just wasn't feeling it. Instead I chose to pick a couple of my favourite colours from the image and "stamp" them using my ink pads and acrylic blocks. Such a simple technique but I do love the results for the minimal effort.

Using the "H" Block, I simply pressed it flat onto the ink pad, spritz with water and pressed the block onto Water Colour cardstock. You can see your ink smooshing through the block - so fun!! 

Colours used were: Melon Mambo, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist. 

Once dry, I took to the water colour card with my trimmer and sliced a small portion off. Then using foam strips I adhered the coloured card to a layer of Whisper White card, leaving a small gap between the two coloured pieces. 

The whisper white then has a black layer before adhering to the card base. The 'amazing' has been die cut from black card and adhered with tombow. A portion of a sentiment from Postcard Pals has been white heat embossed on black card and adhered above the die cut word with mini dimensionals.
