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!
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!
I went on over to Splitcoast Stampers to check out all the different techniques and prayed that there was one or two starting with a K. I actually found two - the kissing technique (which wouldn't have really gone very well with my current selection of stamps) or the Kaleidoscope technique.
I decided to give the Kaleidoscope technique a go but the only patterned paper I really had that was suitable was some old Sycamore Street DSP! I linked the tutorial above but it's very similar to making a starburst card except you need to start cutting the paper so you end up with exactly 8 pieces the same, hence why Sycamore Street DSP was the only suitable paper I had. Anyway, give the tutorial a read, you can get some amazing results. I think perhaps my pattern was too busy so after layering over the middle where all the pieces meet you can't see much of the kaleidoscope (*sad face*). Oh well. I did finish the card off, layering some Whisper White and some more of the same DSP pack, a lovely Rich Razzleberry butterfly and some glimmer paper and ribbon. As much as you can't really get a feel for the technique with this paper I am pleased with the end result.
I love trying new techniques so I hope you'll give this one a crack too. Don't forget to jump on over to the Just Add Ink blog to see all the other Design Team inspiration.

These are such pretty colours together, Jo and and I love the effect of the patterns you’ve created with your Kalaidescope too. xx
