Rooted In Nature - Just Add Ink #406

Set for Rooted In Nature by Stampin' Up! Card Class - Stamping Susan Wong


Welcome to Just Add Ink 406 - another week and another fun challenge!! Here I am as Guest Designer again and I can say I really enjoyed this one. It's the simple things that get you going sometimes right? Well, maybe the brand new stamp set and colours helped. Use the sketch below to create a project, blog it then link it over on the Just Add Ink Challenge Blog.

I adore this new stamp set 'Rooted in Nature' from the upcoming 2018-19 Annual Catalogue!! It comes with a whole suite of gorgeousness but for now I've paired it with a fresh colour combo - new colours Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch and retuning favourite, Coastal Cabana.

Hot Tips:
- Wash a single colour on 3x Shimmery White card mats with your Aqua Painter, drying then stamping leaves in the same colour. Splice at exactly the same angles by marking at the edges first then, hey presto, you have three card backgrounds!
- Don't be afraid to mix Whisper White and Very Vanilla.
- For a nest of fine threads, carefully cut one edge off the ribbon and pull out the fine threads. Group together and stick down on a piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive behind your sentiment.

    Absolutely gorgeous cards, Susan. I adore the bright and cheerful colour palette. And your colour washed and stamped backgrounds are just stunning. I just love your Hot Tip and will have to fight my fear of mixing white and vanilla. Lovely to have you on the Just Add Ink DT as Guest Designer again this week x
