Just Add Something New JAI #294

Hello and welcome to the first Just Add Ink challenge for 2016! At Just Add Ink we always like to start the year off with a blog hop to showcase the first challenge of the year. You should have arrived here from the always amazing Di's blog.

  

 This year Rochelle has suggested we all "Just Add Something New". Now I know that won't be hard for the Stampin Up! demonstrators out there as the new Occasions catalogue and Sale-a-bration promotions have started! If you don't have anything new from SU! please join us using whatever new product you have and be sure to let us know what it is.

To make the blog hop extra special the design team have donated new SU! SAB items as prizes to the winner and two honorable mentions participants. Please note, to be eligible, you must create a "NEW" project using "SOMETHING NEW TO YOU" and leave a comment on all the design team blogs, be or become a JAI follower and blog your project exclusively linked to Just Add Ink. Any entrants that link to additional challenges will be disqualified. (The prizes are open to both international and AUS/NZ participants).
We look forward to kicking the year off with a celebration of new crafty goodness and inspiration and hope you will join the challenge with us.

You can begin the blog hop here on my blog or at any of the other design team members blog posts. Just follow the hop by clicking on the Next or Previous buttons you will find at the bottom of all the design team posts. Or you can start Here at the beginning but wherever you start,  we hope that you will enjoy it!!

For my "something new" I decided to use 3 new products - see if you can guess what they are :-)

So there is the Beautiful Ride stamp set, the World Traveller EF and last but not least, the Going Places DSP stack. To colour the car and balloons I used some new Copics of which I think I need some more colours...and added a little clear Wink of Stella to the balloons,  mirror and wheel hubs for some sparkle and shine. This is one of those stamp sets that I can see being used for a lot of masculine cards as well as different occasions and so that was my inspiration  - and of course having a VW and a black puppy who loves to have her head out the window had a little to do with it too:-)

Card stock: Real Red, Pool Party, Basic Black and Whisper White

Designer Series Paper: Going Places Stack

Stamps: Beautiful Ride

Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Versamark, Wink of Stella (clear)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and don't forget to leave a comment here and on each of the Design Team members blogs to be in to win our prizes this week :-)

Next you are off to see the lovely Christine  and I can't wait to see the fantastic project she has made to inspire us all too!

 

Happy stamping until next time,
