Just Add Ink Challenge # 316

Hi everyone and welcome to another week at Just Add Ink. Our theme for this challenge is:

                                                    JUST ADD STRIPES


Who doesn't love stripes?! I do except when they are on a t-shirt and make my boobs look twice as huge as they already are!! Apart from that, stripes rock, so this challenge gallery is going to look amazing!

I have plenty of stripey papers but wanted to try something with a new die I had just received. I was also inspired by a mood board for another Aussie challenge:


This is the inspiration for the Scrapbook Boutique challenge and I loved the idea of creating a stripey black and white card:


First I needed to created the die-cut stripe background. I die-cut 8 black and 8 white strips from CS and adhered them to another piece of white CS. I trimmed the edges and then attached to the card front. I stamped the puppy on some white CS, fussy cut and coloured his scarf black. He was popped up on foam tape. 

The balloons were stamped on white CS using Versafine Pigment Ink and then immediately heat embossed with clear embossing powder to give lots of shine. I fussy cut these as well and put them on foam tape. The sentiment was stamped on a rectangle of white CS and adhered to the card along with some clear sequins for a bit more shine. 

And I've just realised that this could pass as a masculine card, which is something I hardly ever make, so that's a bonus!!! 

The puppy stamp is from Mama Elephant 'Playful Puppies'. The strip die is from Waffle Flower 'Sentiments Die set'. The balloons and sentiment are also from Waffle Flower 'Balloon Messages. The sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh.

I'm also going to link this to the Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge where their theme is 'Animal Magic'.



And will also link to the Creative with Stamps Challenge # 3 where their theme is:



You have until next Wednesday 22nd June to link your projects to the Just Add Ink challenge and if your in need of any inspiration, please pop over to the blog to see what the rest of the Design Team have created for you. Your bound to find loads of ideas!! Look forward to seeing your creations in the Gallery!!!!!

Take care
Shona
