Top Picks - Challenge #782

A huge thank you to everyone who created and shared for our Choose Two challenge #782. It's time to reveal the Top Picks voted for by our design team members, so without further ado...


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

Such a beautiful mixture of colours, florals and leaves and the trailing of the rhinestones and sequins is a delightful element of its own.



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

The delicate no-line watercolouring and textural layers
 are a lovely combination.



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

The beautiful pop of happy, sunshiny yellow on this gorgeous card
makes me smile.

Just Add Ink #781...Just Add Wings!

It’s time for a brand new Just Add Ink Challenge.  This time we’re adding a little lift and creativity with the theme “Just Add Wings.”    This fun challenge was suggested by Kerry.

Think butterflies, birds, bees, dragonflies, angels or anything else with wings! 

Your project could feature wings as the main focus or as a small detail in your design — the choice is yours.   Cards, scrapbook pages, tags or other paper craft creations are all welcome, as long as they include wings somewhere in the project.

Our design team has created some beautiful inspiration to help get you started, and we hope it sparks plenty of creative ideas.

To join the challenge, simply create a new project featuring wings, link it up below, and share your creativity with us. We love seeing the different styles, colours and techniques everyone brings to the challenge.

We can’t wait to see all the wonderful, winged creations you come up with — happy crafting!

 

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