Feel Better JAI #307

Happy Friday to you friends! Today, I have some great news - Sally (the Lab) was due to have a big operation this week to again try and fix her dislocating knee (third attempt). But after review, and noting just how much she has improved over the last couple of months it has been put on hold! It is so encouraging that it is not needed - hopefully ever - as its not easy watching our fur babies suffer - they can't understand of course that the surgeons that hurt them are really doing their best to help them in the long run...

So talking of feeling better....we have a great new challenge at Just Add Ink this week! Nikki has suggested a fabulous colour combo for us all to use. It has a mixture of bold and neutrals and the design team have used it to create stunning creations this week so I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and take a look.

Here are the colours:

And here is my card:

Yes, it's a bit different isn't it ?! I must admit, I did find this one a little tricky - the Dijon is not a colour I've used before but that is what makes it a challenge and they all help us stretch and grow as card makers.

The balloons are of course from the Balloons Celebrations set - the Dijon are stamped off once for the background and the grey uses a Smoky Slate and Basic Grey Combo. The cute animals are from a Simon Says Stamp set called Stacking Animals and are coloured with Copics.

Card stock: Basic Grey, Delightful Dijon, Whisper White

Ink: Delightful Dijon, Smoky Slate, Basic Grey, Momento Tuxedo Black

Stamps: Balloon Celebrations, Sassy Salutations

Accessories: Big Shot, Brick Wall EF, Balloon Bouquet Punch, Silver Cording Trim (retired), Basic Rhinestones

Non SU: Stacking Animals and matching Dies (SSS)

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you can take a moment to pop on over to Just Add Ink and see all the lovely cards our team have made to inspire you and I look forward to seeing what you will make with these bold colours too!

Happy stamping until next time,

Jan
