Christmas In July
It is Christmas time at Just Add Ink this week using this great inspirational picture.
I used the new Merry Moments DSP on my card along with the stamp set Sassy Salutations. I had seen the star shape cut out like this a while ago on a birthday card and really liked the effect, so I put the idea way for using on my Christmas Cards.

Painting with Bleach Technique
Hi everyone, I would like to share with you one of my swaps that I made for the recent South Pacific Convention held at the Gold Coast, Queensland.
I used the painting with bleach technique. The flowers are from the "Everything Eleanor" stamp set embossed with black on Early Espresso cardstock. The middle of the flowers were then painted with bleach. The sentiment is from the "Sassy Salutations" stamp set, stamped direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla DSP from the Neutrals Paper Stack in Early Espresso ink. The Very Vanilla Candy Dots were backed with a small circle of Early Espresso cardstock made using the hand held 1/4" circle punch.
One little thing I learnt in making this card is that regular bleach (eg no scent) usually gives you a lighter colour of the cardstock that you are using, however I also had some Lemon Scented bleach that I also used and the lighter colour of the flowers had a slight lemon tinged to them. I did not realise that I had the two bottles of bleach in the cupboard and could not work out why the colour was so different. It was not until a couple of days later that I realised that I had the two bottles, one unscented and the other scented. So I did an experiment to see if the scented bleach gave me the lemon tinged flowers, and it did. Just thought I would share that little enlightening experience with you.

Bits-n-Pieces
Hi everyone, I have been making cards today using up some of my Bits-n-Pieces (these seem to have been growing at a great rate lately, so I must use them up). I was inspired to do this using this week's sketch challenge at Retro Sketches.
This is the card I made using my Bits-n-Pieces from the Modern Medley DSP and Neutrals DSP Paper Stack. It is amazing how far these strips and off cuts go. I inked over some of the DSP using Baked Brown Sugar to give the Brown, Black and Cream colour theme that I was after.
While I was on a roll I also made another two cards using up my Bits-n-Pieces. It was like doing patchwork but with paper and card, what fun. This one was made using 1 1/4" squares mounted on 1 3/8" squares, then placed on the diagonal.
I used the new Alphabet Rotary stamp to create the sentiment on the last card. I can see me using this a lot to create titles for my cards and also for scrapbook pages, the ideas are endless.

Simply Stars
Hi everyone, I would like to share with you the card that I made for the challenge at The Paper Players this week based on the colours of Real Red, Whisper White and Night of Navy.
I have used the "Simply Stars" stamp set for the stars that I fussy cut and the sentiment is from the "Sassy Salutations" stamp set. DSP is from the "Polka Dot Parade" paper pack and the "Regals" paper stack.

Butterflies Again ....
I have seen a few cards out in blog land made using die cuts on the front of the card to give a different cut and finish to cards. Naturally I just had to try it.
I have used a colour scheme of Marina Mist, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Natural Ivory, DSP is from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack and the Subtles and Neutrals Paper Stacks. Stamp sets used are Flower Shop, Sassy Salutations, Secret Garden and Backyard Basics (that butterfly again coloured with Early Espresso and Marina Mist using a blender pen). The flowers were made by white embossing on vellum and then punching them out with the matching pansy punch, large pearls for the centres. The leaves are from the Secret Garden stamp set and matching die (stamped with Marina Mist on Marina Mist) and the Little Leaves Sizzlit (in Early Espresso). I used the Deco Labels Collection Framelits for shape on the front and the inside of the card. The sentiment is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set, this was stamped on a scrap of Crumb Cake and backed with Marina Mist, pearls were added on the side to finish.

Happy Circles
What a challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts, using the colours of Gold, Island Indigo and Whisper White. I must admit that I had some trouble with it, taking 4 days to finish my card. I had several false starts before deciding on using the circle punches and the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder to make the background.
I have used Brushed Gold as my gold paper card base and in the circles, with Island Indigo DSP for the other circles. The sentiment is from the Sassy Salutations stamp set.
