Just Add Ink #786...Top Picks!

It's time to share our Top Picks for the "Polka Dot" challenge!

We've loved seeing so many fun dotty projects and appreciate you all sharing your creativity. It's always a pleasure to see how you use the challenge and this week was such a fun and creative gallery, so thank you to everyone that joined us and shared your projects.

 The design team have chosen our top 3, if you have a minute to pop by their blogs and leave some love, l'm sure it will be appreciated.

 Jenn Frost

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

 The abstract landscape made from scraps is stunning and the integration of polka dots on the balloon as well as accent piece is masterful. Fabulous card!

Bobby

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

 Her simply adorable card is fantastic! I especially love how she's reversed the colours on her two polka dot elements.

Suzy Hinton

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

 I adore the colours that Suzy has used! These beautiful, pink flowers pop against the green and white polka dot background and the design is so dreamy!
