TGIF Challenges: TGIFC283 - Ink Blending

TGIFC283 - Friday Challenge time! This week it is all about Ink Blending … there are so many ways to achieve this look. I’m not the best at blending inks but I am getting better every time I try. Having the right paper and tools ensures better success, that is for sure.

My card today features two images from the stamp set Tasteful Touches. The ink blended background uses BumbleBee, Cinnamon Cider, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. I used a sponger dauber to apply and blend each color of ink onto watercolor paper. I misted the paper with water first so the inks would blend smoother.

Check out the TGIFChallenges blog for more details and inspiration for this challenge. Tag your projects #tgifc281 so the TGIF Challenges design team are sure to see them.

TGIF Challenges: TGIFC281 - Christmas Means More

I was a little last this morning adding my sketch card to this challenge. I had forgotten to make a card earlier in the week and quickly whipped this out. I was so relieved to see the TGIF Challenges team has a sketch to work from. It made creating a card quickly so easy.

My card uses various patterns from Trimming the Town and the Brights Designers Series paper packs to create the grid. The greeting is from the “Christmas Means More’ stamp set. I had to have this set as this quote is from my favorite Christmas movie, ELF.

Play along with us! So easy to participate. Check out the TGIFChallenges blog for more details and inspiration. Tag your projects #tgifc281 so the TGIF Challenges design team are sure to see them.

TGIF Challenges: TGIFC279 - 3d Challenge, Peace & Joy

Hello friends. TGIF Challenges has a Designer Takeover 3D challenge. What does that mean? Basically a 3d card. Do you create many 3D cards? I don’t but I always enjoy them when I do create them. They take a little more time and thought but they can be show stoppers.

I created this JOY pop up card for my 3D card. It has a fun interactive POP of joy when opened. This card features the Peace & Joy stamp and die bundle. A full list of supplies can be found below.

I made a video tutorial on how to create similar pop up a while back. Here is that link if you are interested.

Play along with us! So easy to participate. Check out the TGIFChallenges blog for more details and inspiration. Tag your projects #tgifc279 so the TGIF Challenges design team are sure to see them.
