Just Add Ink #457..."Sketch"

Hello everyone and welcome to a new challenge week at Just Add Ink!

Narelle has designed this gorgeous clean and layered sketch for us all to use in our projects. 

You can use the sketch as it is or flip it over and around- as long as the sketch can be seen in your projects. 

Sketches are a great way to get started creating - the design is done for you and all you have to do is choose the colours and images.  So we hope that you can join us and have some fun this week!

Here is what the Design Team have come up with this week to provide you with inspiration...

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our Inspiration Photo challenge this week!

Just Add Ink #455...Winners

Hello there,

making sympathy cards can be really hard to do, so to see all the different cards you created for last week's challenge made for a great gallery of inspiration for all of us. There were so many lovely designs, so thank you all for joining us! However, there can only be one winner and this week our winner is Darnell with this striking clean and simple design.

Here is what some of the design team had to say...

This rose bud is divine. Less is definitely more on a Sympathy card.

I love how this beautifully watercoloured bloom makes such a huge impact on the crisp white background.

Really lovely colouring on this classic card.

Congratulations!

Here is your badge to wear on your blog.

Here's what some of the design team had to say...

Serene use of colour & space to create a peaceful sympathy card.

A perfect pet sympathy card. I love the graduated colour versus the silhouette of the pet. Very striking.

The emboss resist, bright sponging and silhouette really makes this pet sympathy card special.

Mae Collins

Here's what some of the design team had to say...

Lovely use of the vellum, a very dramatic card.

Love all the details, especially the beautifully coloured vellum.

Just Add Ink #455..."Sympathy"

Good Morning Just Add Ink friends!

We have a brand new challenge happening today, Kim has suggested we add "Sympathy" to our projects which is a great way to have a card/project on hand for those times you need one, but usually don't feel inclined to create at the time.

These challenges are also great for using products you may not have used in awhile, as there are no restrictions on colour, design or techniques. As long as you add the sympathy aspect, you have met  the challenge requirements.
