Just Add Ink #52 - Sketch

OUCH - what a sketch this week! I really struggled to think of what to make this week for the Just Add Ink Design Team but I decided to go with some hot striking colours - basic black, melon mambo and whisper white! I love them!
Here's is the sketch for this weeks Just Add Ink.
The flowers are coloured using crystal effects and ink, which I mixed together in a little container and painted on with a little paint brush.


cardstock: basic black, melon mambo, whisper white
ink: basic black, versamark, melon mambo
stamps: happy moments, sweet little sentiments
white embossing power, white taffeta ribbon, top note die, crystal effects

To my darling little nephew, Daniel

I got inspired by a card that Paula Dobson made - check out her blog here!
