ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

Ever since my friend, Grace, made a cute icecream cone card from the Petal Cone Die , I've been meaning to make one for myself. I've been playing around with some new DSP called Spice Cake (December SU release) and came up with this idea to make a paisley inspired version. The 'scoops' were made using the 2 1/2" circle and 2 3/8" scallop circle punches. River Rock card stock was used for the cone and a Cuttlebug Paisley Embossing Folder. The cherry is from Button Buddies and embossed with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder for some extra shine. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you've had a great weekend.

This week at Just Add Ink I have put together a very simple colour combo for you for our 91st challenge. The colours are so sweet and feminine that I decided to make a cupcake card for a friend's birthday. JAI 91 - Sugar Cupcake JAI 91 - Colour Comb0 Chocolate Chip was the 'neutral of choice' for my DT sample. This card involved some heat and dry embossing, fussy cutting with paper piecing, die cutting, sponging, adding some shine with Silver Smooch Spritz and colouring in with copic markers (still on my 'L's'). Here's the 'original' card that I made for the challenge but decided it didn't quite make the 'cut'. It is an easel card made from th e Fun Flowers Die using Sahara Sand as my neutral of choice. It's back to the drawing board on that one! This card is embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder and finished off with an Antique Brad . I hope the colours inspire you to join in with the challenge this week. Why...
