Ink Stained Card Sketch & JFF Free For All

Happy Friday!!!

Woo Hoo!

I hope you've all had a wonderful week...

Normally today is Just For Fun Friday featuring a different Color Challenge but since it's a holiday weekend there isn't anything special planned so I thought I'd go ahead and make my own challenge in the form of an Ink Stained Card Sketch :)

Here is the sketch...

Ink Stained Sketch 9-3-10 001

Now of course you don't have to add the sentiment if you don't want. I often leave my cards blank until I have an occasion arise that I need a card quickly. I can add whatever sentiment is necessary at that time and be set to go :)

Here is the card I created...

Blueberry Delight!

Ink Stained Sketch 9-3-10 005

This card incorporates the new stamp - Berry Bunch. I love it because by changing the color of the berries you can have a whole new plant ~ ex... they could be blueberries, birds berries (those red berries in the fall), if you left them white they could even be mistletoe for a neat Christmas card!

I colored the image using a combination of Distress Inks and watercolor pencils. The blueberries were covered with Glossy Accents which weren't quite dry when I took the photo which is why they look a bit cloudy yet. They will loose that cloudiness once they are completely dry.

If you have a bit of time this weekend stop by Just For Fun and browse their amazing array of stamps available.

I hope that you can get a bit of inky crafting time in this weekend...

I'm going to be working on goodies for my Ink Stains card booth for the Ladies Night Out affair I will be attending in just....

7 days!!!

EeeeeeeK!

I'll be back sometime this weekend to share some of what I am creating to see what you think.

Till then friends ~
I hope you all have a super weekend

and

for all you folks here in the USA please have a safe holiday weekend!!

  3. I know what you mean about adding the sentiment later. I was looking for a sympathy card last week and all the cards I had done didn't fit. So I plan on making at least some cards with wordless fronts. I am making a message board for my grandson and hope to get inky at some point too.

    Have a great holiday. Weeeeeeeee no work Monday.
