Just Add Ink #793...Colour & Inspiration!

Hi, it’s time for the brand-new Just Add Ink Challenge - Colour and Inspiration!   This challenge was suggested by Nikki and we’re excited to bring her idea to life! 

For this challenge, you have three options to choose from:

Use the Challenge Colours – create a project inspired by our gorgeous colour combination.

Use the Inspiration Picture – let the image spark your creativity and take inspiration from the colours, shapes, textures, theme or overall feel.

Or use BOTH! – combine the challenge colours with the inspiration picture for even more creative possibilities.

We love seeing how everyone interprets the same challenge in their own unique way. Whether you choose the colours, the inspiration picture, or combine both, the choice is yours!

So grab your favourite crafting supplies, let your creativity take over, and show us what you create.

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