Umbrella Days Sympathy for JAI #759




Happy Friday everyone and welcome back!! It is the end of the first week of School Holidays here in Victoria and a pretty cold and week it has been too! So if you're looking for some crafting inspiration for the weekend, to stay inside, warm and dry you have come to the right place.


This week's Just Add Ink Challenge is to Choose Two out of Trees, Beach or Water and is suggested by Di Barnes. It is a challenge that has produced quite a variety in the style and themes of cards from the Design Team. I look forward to seeing what you might create with it.


For my card, I used ink and brushes to create a beachy background scene and then I added water. This helps to give the look of a damp, rainy scene as well as fulfil the sketch brief. 

The sweet images- including the pretty florals - are from the Online Exclusives set, called Umbrella Together. I needed a pet sympathy card for a friend and these images and sentiment seemed so appropriate. 



It's a stamp set that I hope I will be able to use a bit of during August - where we try to raise money for Guide Dogs Australia by walking every day with a dog. I love how the dies include a cute jacket for the dog - although I chose not to use that for this card.


So these are the two elements that I chose for my card, I look forward to seeing what out of Trees, Beach or Water that you will choose to make for your cards this week at Just Add Ink.
