Take 5 Challenge With Totally Turquoise and Waterfall Inks

Hi Sylvia here with two quick cards for the Take 5 April Challenge Something Blue.  I like to keep a selection of simple cards to hand which can be used for any occasion, especially thank you cards.  These cards are quick to make and look good in any colour.  Blue is one of my favourite colours especially the totally turquoise and waterfall pure colour chemistry inks. 

This card uses totally turquoise Pure Colour Chemistry ink for the background

To make my two cards I coloured two squares of stamping card one with totally turquoise and the other with waterfall spray ink and stamped randomly with a selection of small stamps using the triple sky blue ink pad.  The daisies were die cut from a baby wipe used to mop up the blue inks, these were overstamped with small stamps using the darkest shade on the triple sky blue ink pad and added to the stamped squares.  These squares were matted and layered with navy card then onto a white linen card blanks.

 This card uses  Waterfall Pure Colour Chemistry ink for the background

This type of quick card is ideal for any occasion and makes a lovely gift if presented in a set with envelopes and a ribbon tied round.

Materials Used:

• Pure colour Chemistry Inks in Totally Turquoise and Waterfall 
• Triple Sky Blue pigment ink pad
• White Stamping Card
• Stamps - Sunshine Sentiment & Texture Set and Texture Elements

Take 5 Splodges and Splashes

Sylvia here with another two cards for the April Take 5 Something Blue Challenge.  For these cards I made some home made washi tape by stamping two strips of masking tape with two different colours and stamps.  The first with the square grid stamp in the sea blue pigment ink and the circle grid stamp in the triple sky pigment ink.

For the first background I lightly sprayed white stamping card with totally turquoise ink and added drops of waterfall ink splashed here and there.  The second background also on stamping card was a mixture of stamping, dropping ink onto the card and flicking with a brush.

 

I added the tape to the backgrounds, a sentiment to both and embellished the first card with a die cut feather coloured with sea blue and sky blue pigment ink .  The backgrounds were mounted onto matching coloured card then attached to white linen card blanks, a few enamel dots were added to finish the cards.

 

Materials Used:

• Pure colour Chemistry Inks in Totally Turquoise and Waterfall 
• Triple Sky Blue and Sea Blue pigment ink pads
• White Stamping Card
• Stamps - Square Grid, Circle grid, Texture Elements and Good Luck/Best Wishes/For The Future/Special Day

Texture Element Flower

Elaine here with  the first project from the design team for the April Take 5 Challenge where the theme is Something Blue.

I decided to use the Texture Elements set of stamps - five different but really useful designs.  The background is Waterfall Pure Colour sprayed onto the card and moved around with the solid rose stamp.  For the flower I've stamped all the stamps in the set onto die-cut ovals using Midnight Pigment Ink.  It's just finished with the sentiment from the Birthday Stamp set.

Thanks for popping by.  Don't forget to keep visiting to see other projects by the Take 5 Team!!
