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.

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.

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.

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