Then I sprinkled some Brusho on either side of it and gently sprayed with water. You have to be quite careful that the water doesn't move the crystals too much but they give such a bold intensity and you can always add more til you have the layers just right and achieve the texture that you want. I find having a paper towel on hand really helps too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmckg4nivcrxTcUEEyyQ30DZx8j7hVShWSWddUNIt85oiniUmoV19W2SrOQtpUeqlVrcuvq0XkfWGt6bWfYGSuCkZn4qxxqxU595MVHVPlnp0Crm21D_EpvAeDjrryOSFpV6XUXENwzuDTLSESfQ2fYyeXmPgUp3ha7B5XTQXXrRPoVOm0ngnY_P2MzOs/s888/JAI%20692%20Extra.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="888" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmckg4nivcrxTcUEEyyQ30DZx8j7hVShWSWddUNIt85oiniUmoV19W2SrOQtpUeqlVrcuvq0XkfWGt6bWfYGSuCkZn4qxxqxU595MVHVPlnp0Crm21D_EpvAeDjrryOSFpV6XUXENwzuDTLSESfQ2fYyeXmPgUp3ha7B5XTQXXrRPoVOm0ngnY_P2MzOs/w400-h346/JAI%20692%20Extra.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div>Then I added some layers across the centre: metallic silver, embossed musical notes and even some ribbon. <p></p><p>The drumkit from the stamp set forms the focal image and then all that was needed was a rather Charming Sentiment. 😀</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyFh_-dYwTV2EUS9C4cWgOKhF1pUk8O95pAbfK3NlJmtLnRWDl5yRyQzMAONfpW4ABK7bH5gUJhgULh8DrhV1t75HDs52TXiuUgtdnn1F6-DpqMzeub-2Aj71rEtTEKnw4CqBya0tlu-WribMbnQLduowGcpZwhp2zeokrmbMQt3kEj2nIyAMv6Jr9Sk/s768/JAI%20%23692%20Sketch%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="683" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidyFh_-dYwTV2EUS9C4cWgOKhF1pUk8O95pAbfK3NlJmtLnRWDl5yRyQzMAONfpW4ABK7bH5gUJhgULh8DrhV1t75HDs52TXiuUgtdnn1F6-DpqMzeub-2Aj71rEtTEKnw4CqBya0tlu-WribMbnQLduowGcpZwhp2zeokrmbMQt3kEj2nIyAMv6Jr9Sk/w356-h400/JAI%20%23692%20Sketch%20(1).jpg" width="356" /></a></div><br /><p>Thank you for stopping by today!

For the flowers I used Fresh Fresia and Berry Burst and the same colours for the leaves as the back ground. The sentiment is from the same set and a little bling is all that is needed to complete my first challenge card of the year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitcId3ZjJm4J_n0ZVqo22xhu7__eI-JLPeyZcbwAv-sOQWMIPVi28GO1de7ORBuocW9ig32g6OEcoLZLNZZsc7j806Lwi992bVF2bvMCogZviYNkZX4ZJA72HEGhdULqkwNgQ4Mlu3CSD-9TFMzjxOeDk2ndLrYsbjdkkM00euHvRApA7PT7Saw6ya2qM/s768/JAI%20Blog%20Hop%202024%20_%20Just%20Add%20Flowers%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="635" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitcId3ZjJm4J_n0ZVqo22xhu7__eI-JLPeyZcbwAv-sOQWMIPVi28GO1de7ORBuocW9ig32g6OEcoLZLNZZsc7j806Lwi992bVF2bvMCogZviYNkZX4ZJA72HEGhdULqkwNgQ4Mlu3CSD-9TFMzjxOeDk2ndLrYsbjdkkM00euHvRApA7PT7Saw6ya2qM/w331-h400/JAI%20Blog%20Hop%202024%20_%20Just%20Add%20Flowers%20(1).jpg" width="331" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you are enjoying seeing all the different flowers from all the team.<br />Next you are off to see <a href="https://dianebarnes.blogspot.com/2024/01/jai-685-just-add-flowers-new-year-blog-hop.html" target="_blank">Di Barnes</a> and her gorgeous Lavender project .

A lovely friend sent me white die cut of the Ornament and I love how detailed it is. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To turn it into silver, it is quite easy! Just emboss the whole die cut by covering it with Versamark ink and dip it in Silver Embossing Powder - at least twice. It is a way that you can change any piece of card to a metallic look. Just be careful how you hold it near the heat tool as it gets very hot!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxK7BP_QgnCqw3ae9pPer8sASTPll-1VIL1lT6yVjPt_fKkMoItMxFiHciptabF32dFVXhNP7c77UkdXtGCMLHH7eDIT3OYoUhdKEmYrBivzuEsuSIJO_KVGz1SkPkmZ-vv0HD6MNYj6SzETFjvCD7jecxj7WjgEjlK-DTm5rwxpx-I9E_b_6InPWPgNY/s768/JAI%20%23683%20Flat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="579" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxK7BP_QgnCqw3ae9pPer8sASTPll-1VIL1lT6yVjPt_fKkMoItMxFiHciptabF32dFVXhNP7c77UkdXtGCMLHH7eDIT3OYoUhdKEmYrBivzuEsuSIJO_KVGz1SkPkmZ-vv0HD6MNYj6SzETFjvCD7jecxj7WjgEjlK-DTm5rwxpx-I9E_b_6InPWPgNY/w301-h400/JAI%20%23683%20Flat.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This simple card is on it's way to a recipient now and I hope that she likes it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3weZS7tHo_7GO4299eJd_4vXaTdKMk2dv72UBTb-IQJ1tJB-AZPxo3Y3g-c1Dt1ctiZRqGRR1frvVB0qvPZ0EaXbqvLBmyNJn353cvBr0b-SgTEAtd9y8JpClDRxyZU-mx87m9sdnCCf21HBanjBVkisJMbR7TgruhmQCgWJN6rw8O_2f7WAkIg7__0U/s768/JAI%20%23683%20Choose%20Two.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="695" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3weZS7tHo_7GO4299eJd_4vXaTdKMk2dv72UBTb-IQJ1tJB-AZPxo3Y3g-c1Dt1ctiZRqGRR1frvVB0qvPZ0EaXbqvLBmyNJn353cvBr0b-SgTEAtd9y8JpClDRxyZU-mx87m9sdnCCf21HBanjBVkisJMbR7TgruhmQCgWJN6rw8O_2f7WAkIg7__0U/w363-h400/JAI%20%23683%20Choose%20Two.jpg" width="363" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks for stopping by today!

It's still been a rather chilly week here in Melbourne despite it being the first week of November. Summer is just around the corner but it does feel like a little way off so far. I hope that it has been nicer in your part of the world. This coming Tuesday I would normally be riding a horse at Riding for the Disabled. But, its an annual Public Holiday for the Melbourne Cup, a horse race. My lovely riding coaches were rather funny - "there's no riding next week Jan unless you want to ride fast!" Not likely. 😂</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2023/11/just-add-ink-677sketch.html" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1232" data-original-width="1232" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-qaY_nTCWiQj3sVn4cSs_jL_GjgCbd-Rhv90iQQrvfJDFyqjgasoAshvrwyNeRACHkwd1yOMrtQQkRRCUbOLNlItaZytABcP4JdaxbCLCbMREu7WNPE-XvKD4S-qvlKWKM1r5-m_ysC2dBouKVoF72jLDppAX1kG_5s3j4MUALSn9dfm5QQLgQbfkpFk/w400-h400/JAI%20%23677.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We have a Sketch challenge for you at <a href="https://just-add-ink.blogspot.com/2023/11/just-add-ink-677sketch.html" target="_blank">Just Add Ink</a> this week.

The white paper is a water colour as I find that helps gives the ink enough time to sit up and blend nicely. I am more used to using felt pads for blending which I love but these brushes are so soft. And if you wash them straight after, the ink washes out so the brush can be used for any colour when it's all dry again. Bonus!!<br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYyUAe0XfWQDCmGF8GM0pObtV92rViRY9imxSPE7eiDpPI9nTSwNlsGzyhNEHG2RR8Ib6xrwjgoQAQ34wi_X0nkrmD_GIV_Kr9DZSgwlhAV2veRt2RnV_mDYDjBKiR5xbUO4Zcui8tNE8YihwWcsqa9uIqatd_OkCmjlbnnne709EtCe-dHnXkLaPiGE/s768/JAI%20%23665.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="744" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYyUAe0XfWQDCmGF8GM0pObtV92rViRY9imxSPE7eiDpPI9nTSwNlsGzyhNEHG2RR8Ib6xrwjgoQAQ34wi_X0nkrmD_GIV_Kr9DZSgwlhAV2veRt2RnV_mDYDjBKiR5xbUO4Zcui8tNE8YihwWcsqa9uIqatd_OkCmjlbnnne709EtCe-dHnXkLaPiGE/w388-h400/JAI%20%23665.jpg" width="388" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks for popping by to see my card this week!

Gem was loved by so many - including me. I was surprised by how closely we bonded in such a short time. She seemed to know I was unwell and took such good care of me. I was so grateful and brought her favourite treats - carrots and a little Licorice too. Her illness was so unexpected as she had been perfectly well. So it was heartbreaking to need to make this card for the staff and volunteers.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgpqbyM7E8yZMW07Mtj91w0GTeJijLi9KbwfOyqnIu8DPOYByoP3DYG0-qyFke0eu9Qqce-GoUC_ue8SeQU5cpwUrlyVg-lgNgkY0QTw4Bbl6cOTvIcoBKT8Amb4Z_LAOslUi5DOksseJEZX1O8Kya4yH4YxPUhAPGmYQ--d4hHL_jMMtgMRuNZTdDZE/s986/JAI%20%23661%20Gem%20flat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="986" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCgpqbyM7E8yZMW07Mtj91w0GTeJijLi9KbwfOyqnIu8DPOYByoP3DYG0-qyFke0eu9Qqce-GoUC_ue8SeQU5cpwUrlyVg-lgNgkY0QTw4Bbl6cOTvIcoBKT8Amb4Z_LAOslUi5DOksseJEZX1O8Kya4yH4YxPUhAPGmYQ--d4hHL_jMMtgMRuNZTdDZE/w400-h311/JAI%20%23661%20Gem%20flat.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I coloured Gem first -I've never coloured a horse before so I was very grateful for an older Copic colouring video from <a href="https://sandyallnock.com/ciaras-friends-4-ways-to-copic-color-a-horse/" target="_blank">Sandy Allnock</a>. Many would know Sandy from <a href="https://www.onlinecardclasses.com/" target="_blank">Online Card Classes</a>. One of her helpful tips for brown and bay horses - add a touch of an orange glow. So my base colour is YR23 - which is a light orange! And then I added the browns as shading and in layers - quite a few- to be as realistic as I could.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I coloured the rose and fussy cut both images before layering them back on top of each other in the same way the image created them.
