Hermione

 

We have a wonderful sketch challenge at Just Add Ink this week.

And I needed to make a birthday card for my daughter and this is what I came up with.

 

 

She is a huge Harry Potter fan and we bought her everything Potter for her 11th birthday.  I wanted to make her a matching card too so I used this wonderful Tiddlyinks image called Wizardette.  I coloured her with copics to look like Hermione and used some dazzling diamonds and crystal effects too.  I tried to colour her scarf the correct Gryffindor colours and made banners to match.

She absolutely loved her card! She was so impressed with it!  :)

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : Wizardette (Tiddlyinks), Blowing Bubbles (MFT)

Card : basic grey, black, daffodil, real red, white

Ink : memento black

Other : square punch. corner rounder punch, crystal effects, dazzling diamonds, copics

 

Please take a look at what the rest of the JAI team created this week and I hope you find some “crafting time” and can join us.

Get Well Blues

 

This week at Just Add Ink the challenge is to Just Add Blue and Bling.

I decided to use my new stamp set Bordering on Romance and try colouring it with Stampin Up markers and a blender pen on watercolour paper. I’ve never tried that technique before.

I actually don’t have many markers and I wanted 3 blues.  The strange thing is that I do have my most favourite SU blues in a marker (Baja and NQN) and yet amazingly I decided to try some different blues for a change.  I must have been in a daring mood that day!!!

Anyway I used bashful blue, pacific point and night of navy.  I don’t think I have ever made a card with night of navy before and I’m not real sure about pacific point either actually.  But the gamble paid off, I love how this card turned out.

 

 

Ingredients :

Stamps : Bordering on Romance, Perfectly Penned

Card : night of navy, vanilla, subtles dsp stack, watercolour paper

Ink : stazon, crumb cake, markers (night of navy, bashful blue, pacific point, celery, olive)

Other : bashful blue taffeta ribbon (ret.) rhinestones, big shot, labels framelit, blender pen

 

These blues could never replace my favourites but I should use them more often because they’re beautiful too!  I hope you’ll take a look at what the rest of the JAI team came up with this week.  Join us and make a card with your favourite blues, or like me, try some blues you’ve been neglecting.
