Just Add Ink #480.....Winners!

A big thank you to all of you that joined us for our "Just Add a Technique" challenge!
We loved popping by your blogs and sites to see all the different techniques you used - some new some old and some we too must now try!
You inspire us week after week and we are so thankful for your continued sharing with us!

The design team votes are in and this week's Top Pick goes to Karen Dunbrook for her gorgeous card using the Baby Wipe Stencil technique.



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

 I was taken with Karen’s card and her stencilling effect!

What a great technique! I love the effect of the baby wipe inking through a stencil.

 Very simple but effective technique with lovely outcome.

Congratulations!

I love the graduated sponging through the stencil. Expertly done!

Fun & happy card - Love the combination of the beautifully coloured peacock and the rays of sunshine with the fun of the wobbler.

 Lovely sponging makes the wobbly peacock stand out beautifully.
