Just Add Ink #587 - Just Choose Two - Flowing Flowers



Hi and welcome back for another Just Add Ink challenge. This week we are asking you to Just Choose Two .... fancy edge, circle, twine. Hmmmm .... which 2 to choose???


I had my Slim Card dies still on my desk so that was one choice taken care of ..... fancy edge. The set of dies comes with 2 lovely decorative edges that fit perfectly along the edge of a slimline card. For my second choice I took an easy option as I knew I was bound to add it to my card anyway .... twine. Linen twine (thread) - my favourite!


I have used a Faux Watercolour technique on my card. It's pretty simple. You simple wet some Shimmery White cardstock with a Water Painter and stamp the images. It takes a bit of experimenting to see how much water you need. On hot days such as we are having at the moment, the water evaporates pretty quickly so you need to move fast! The Flowing Flowers stamp set works really well with this technique. Don't have too much water though as you loose too much definition.


The Slimline envelopes can be stamped on as well. Oh and how can I forget those gorgeous Brushed Brass Butterflies. A fun little detail! 


This is the second cards in my Flowing Flowers class that I will be holding via Zoom in February. It is going to be a fun, technique packed class. Contact me for details. Don't forget to pop in an order to make the most of the Sale-a-bration promotion. So many amazing products to choose from. You can order here


Make sure you pop on over to the Just Add Ink page to see which 2 all the other Design Team members chose and how creative there were with them. Why not enter your own creation? We always love seeing them!
