Just Add Ink #378..."Texture"

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to a new challenge at Just Add Ink!

This week we have a fun challenge for you as Di has suggested that we Just Add Texture as a main feature of our projects.

There are so many different ways that you can add texture. It could be with embossing paste or folders, felt and ribbons, punched and die cut items...there are so many options to choose from! So we hope that you will have fun exploring with different textures this week!

To help the DT job easier for commenting, we ask that you please include in your post exactly what your textural element is :-)
