Just Add Ink #357..."Colour"

Hello there,

it's Friday and we have a new challenge for you at Just Add Ink. However, before we move on to the challenge the team has a farewell to announce. Christine Blain, who joined the design team in 2012 has decided to step down due to other calls on her time. Christine always inspired us with her amazing masculine cards, she makes them seem easy! Her wholehearted support, friendship, enthusiasm and contributions to the design team have been highly valued and will be sadly missed. Many of us have had the chance to meet her in person at SU! events and look forward to doing so again in the future! Until then we wish her well.

So what have we got for you this week? A colour challenge for you from Jan.

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