I'll be honest, I wasn't totally sure what to do with this image. I don't have any of the current tree stamp sets so I had to dig out an old set and use it with a bit of a twist!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #427

Welcome to another Friday and a new Just Add Ink challenge! This week we're playing along with challenge #427 where we've been asked by Tina to Just Add 'K' items!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #427

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #427

I really didn't have all that many 'K' items in my supplies. I only came up with kangaroos, koalas, kittens, knight, kettle or a kindness sentiment. I wanted to do something different so I tried a technique (starting with K) that I'd never done before!

Just Add Ink #419 - Add A Twist

27 July 2018

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #419

Welcome to another Just Add Ink Challenge! This week we have challenge #419 and we've been asked to add a 'twist' to our cards by Kelly!

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #419

Jo's Stamping Spot - Just Add Ink Challenge #419

To add a 'twist' meant using something in the way it was not intended. My first thought was to use a Christmas stamp as a birthday stamp and I played around with that idea for a while until I came to the conclusion it wasn't going to work and gave up lol. I came up with another idea to perhaps use a die for which its shape could be taken as something else. That idea failed too because I simply ran out of time. So third time was a charm and this card came together (thank goodness!).
