Happy Friday and welcome! It's almost the last week of February and the end of summer here in Australia! Time is going so quickly this year and it is hard to believe it is nearly Autumn - and nearly Spring for those in the Northen Hemisphere. I hope that the year has been treating you sell so far.
This week at Just Add Ink ,we have a Choose Two Challenge from three options : Colouring, Thinking of you or Embossing suggested by Kerry. Our Design Team have made cards showing so many of the different options and funnily enough we also produced a bit of a similar colour theme despite this not being a colour challenge.
Have a look at the JAI blog and see and we'd love you to join us too!

For my card this week, I chose Colouring and Embossing.
The beautiful image is from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and it is embossed with White EP on water colour paper.
Then ink was blended onto the water colour paper in three different colours - Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana and Blueberry Bushel - in sections and wiped off the white embossed image. Then drops of water are flicked onto the image using a Water Pen and blotted off using paper towel.
Then the image is placed on some more Blueberry Bushel card stock dry embossed using an EF from my stash. It is so long retired that I can't recall it's name but it looks as though its a knitted background which is very current a the moment.
And this has it's corners rounded and then is added onto some Thick Basic White Cardstock.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set and is stamped in Blue Berry Bushel ink and then is Clear Embossed to help give it extra shine. The rounded corners on the sentiment strip and the Silver foil layer are created using Circle dies. Finally, some white twine and rhinestones are added too.
