At Just Add Ink this week we (it feels so good to be able to say that now) :) have a sketch challenge for you.
I decided to use the Nature Walk set from our new mini.
It is a gorgeous set and I will be showing you a lot more Nature Walk cards over the next few weeks.
I stamped the flower onto very vanilla, brayered crumb cake onto the square lattice embossing folder and then put it through the big shot. I embossed everything else with soft suede and clear embossing powder and coloured the bird and eggs with baja.
The ribbon is white organza that I just coloured using a dauber and soft suede. Then I just pulled a thread in it. It coloured really easily and looks beautiful this new colour.
Ingredients :
Stamps : Nature walk, Because I care
Card : vanilla, suede, baja
Ink : baja, suede, crumb cake, versamark
Other : clear embossing powder, organza ribbon, dimensionals, big shot, square lattice embossing folder
Head over to Just Add Ink and see what the rest of the design team did with this sketch and then why not give it a try yourself.

Kathy you are definitely part of the team now! Love your card and especially how you changed the ribbon colour to match your colour scheme...I hadn't picked up what ribbon you had used until I read your post. Catch up again soon!
ReplyDeleteHi... saw your card on SCS & came over to see your deets... I thought, "What does she mean this is in the new catalog? I missed getting it when it retired on Saturday!!" Then I realized you are down under... lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, as I said on SCS: lovely!
Beautiful job! My Nature Walk will be here tomorrow and I can't wait to play with it. Thanks for inspiring me to get it. :)
ReplyDeletePretty card!! I love everything about it :) :)
ReplyDeleteA lovely card using a terrific stamp set!
ReplyDeleteThis card is a work of art. I'm now convinced I need to get some of that ribbon and ink up my embossing folders more often. It's so lovely to have you on the team and can't wait to meet you in person.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Kathy - I especially like how you brayered and embossed the background - I still have to try that - and I love the blue green tones you added to the bird and eggs!
