Hey Everyone
We have a colour challenge for you at Just Add Ink this week.
This many colours normally scare me but I love how easy these earthy colours came together. To create my background I inked up Stampin’ Up!s Hardwood stamp with Baked Brown Sugar ink. To lighten the colour, I stamped it off once on scrap paper and then finger walked it over the card stock. I then inked up Dictionary and finger walked it in random spots on the cardstock. I sponged Baked Brown Sugar around the edges to take the starkness off the white cardstock. To finish off the background I stamped the splotches from Gorgeous Grunge. My flowers and leaves are from Stampin’ Up!s Bloom with Hope. Here’s my card:
We would love for you to join us. Head over to Just Add Ink and check out the gorgeous inspiration from the Design Team.
Thanks for joining us.
Cheers

So very pretty!
Gorgeous. Love the way you did the background and the pretty flowers.
Stunning as always. Love the colour combo. Well done.
absolutely beautiful
Gorgeous. What do you mean by finger walk?
Hi Mary! Finger walking is taking an unmounted stamp, inking it up and press (finger walk) over certain areas of the card stock. I hope that make sense! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers Narelle
Your work is stunning. Just started following your blog a few months ago and love your vintage style.
I don’t believe for one second that these colors scared you! Especially since this card is gorgeous! I love how vibrant the flowers look against that fabulous background!
Wow, ♥love♥ your card Narelle – it’s gorgeous! I love those colours together too.
SO lovely! Elegant and subtle. xx
Love the light touch you used on the background Narelle – it has a feel like a sepia photograph but very delicate and really allows the vibrant flowers to glow! xxx
Wow!! Those flowers are so vibrant and really pop off the page.
Wow this is so stunningly beautiful! Love that background with it’s grungy inkiness!
These colours scared me a bit too. I’m not usually a fan of Autumnal colours 😦 Your card has turned out beautifully and as Kim said has a sepia look to it. Loving the twine tucked in with your flowers and foliage. xox
Couldn’t pass by this masterpiece (on my way to your card for FMS) without saying WOW!
Absolutely adore this card Narelle! The background is spectacular and your flowers so vibrant – love it!
You certainly did an amazing job with these colours, this looks effortless!! And I must ask, what is ‘finger walking’?? I’m very intrigued…..
Hi Shona! Finger walking is taking an unmounted stamp, inking it up and press (finger walk) over certain areas of the card stock. I hope that make sense! Thanks for stopping by. Cheers Narelle
