Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #456


Happy Friday everyone! I'm posting today with a new challenge for Just Add Ink! This week we've been given an inspiration challenge by Nikki!

Immediately for this challenge I thought of using the Daisy Delight bundle but nothing I tried seemed to come out right. I decided to change the stamp set and then the card literally made itself!

Birthday Blooms is one of my all-time favourite stamps, especially to colour. I went with the yellow out of the inspiration picture because I very rarely do cards in yellow! I coloured the big bloom in with Daffodil Delight Blends with a touch of the Mango Melody light marker and used Mossy Meadow and Old Olive combo Blends for the leaves. The Whisper White piece was stamped (full and half strength) with another retired set, Gorgeous Grunge, in Daffodil Delight. The sentiment is from the Well Said stamp set embossed in white.

I liked the end result of this one so I also tried it out in Grapefruit Grove! The bloom this time was coloured with Petal Pink Blends markers and the light Calypso Coral Blends marker.

There you go! There are so many lovely flower sets coming in the new Annual catalogue but I'm yet to have a play and decide if they will replace my much-loved Birthday Blooms.

As always pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog and check out all the other wonderful projects the Design Team have created and I hope you feel inspired to enter. Thanks for visiting!

  1. Jo your cards are beautiful! I love yellow so the first one is a definite winner for me - so cheery and the gingham border finishes it off a treat.
