Just Add Ink #29

Two posts in a matter of an hour or so - not bad!  I guess you'll forgive me then if I don't get back here until early next week now huh! lol

Finally I snapped a half decent shot of my Just Add Ink challenge card for this week - does anyone else struggle when photographing Kraft cardstock or is it just me?  Crikey it's hard to get a non grainy look with that stuff!  If anyone can offer me any advice, I'd be very grateful!

Anyway, the colours the girls chosen this week are so lovely together!  At first I was drawn to doing something flowery, but then my package from Keesh arrived which contained my Papertrey Ink shopping so I thought I'd ink up my new little set called Fly Away!

Here's the colours incase you hadn't seem them yet!



And here's my fun little card!


The card itself looks so much nicer IRL, but sometimes that's the case with those hard to photograph cards!  I was pretty happy with how it turned out though - something completely different and my son just loved it which is always a bonus!

Oh and before I forget, the clouds are cut using a die from Papertrey Ink also!  If you scroll down a bit on that link, you'll find them.  They cut so beautifully and actually a lot more smoothly than some of my sizzix dies!

You are one talented lady.

Louise Harry said...

Awesome card Karen - yet again! I seem to have trouble photographing cards in any colour combination! I'm so used to just scanning cards purely for my own records but realise now (since becoming addicted to blog-hopping!) that they actually look much better when photographed standing up as opposed to squashed into a flat-bed scanner!

Louise Sutton said...

WOW that is gorgeous woman - you are so clever! Did you cut out that plane? *faints*

Hi Karen,

this is sooo cute. Sigh I guess I'll just have to add that plane to my next shopping list:) Love how you cut the clouds out of the background mat and layered them on top too. Awesome as usual!

Such a cute card Karen. Love the little plane and clouds. I bet Brock loved it too!

Christine Blain said...

Ditto to all of the above! How can I possibly articulate what I think when everyone else has already stolen my words?! Totally adorable card, Karen. LOVE the cut-out clouds, and the plane's fuselage (that IS the body of the plane, right?), and the hills. Love it all. PERFECTION.

Oh my goodness, this card is just gorgeous Karen. Thank you for your lovely comment on my card using Fly Away, but I have to say your card beats mine hands down. This is so cute, gorgeous layout, really beautiful colours. The way you've used the cloud die is so clever too. Such an amazing card, I just wish I owned that stamp set, but I had stamped a few images from my friend. Mmm, might have to order it myself soon.
Have a great week.
