Just Add ink #293….Gift Card!

Welcome to our last challenge for the year at Just Add Ink!

With Christmas so very near,  Kim has suggested what is sure to be a popular challenge - that we Just Add….A Gift Card Holder.  We would love to see how you are packaging your Gift Cards this festive season - or it may be for a different occasion such as Birthday or Graduation - it is up to you!

Because of the holidays, this challenge will last for TWO WEEKS and whilst there will be no judging by the Design Team we ask you to share your Gift Card Holders so that we can all appreciate your lovely creations.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for sharing with us during the year and wish you a very merry and safe Christmas and we look forward to seeing you back again in the New Year when we start 2016 with an exciting Blog Hop!  So until then….

Just Add Ink #291 Just add C

Hello there,
this week we have a Challenge that will get you thinking. But I promise we haven't made it too hard. This week Tina is asking us to Just add.....C.

What exactly do we mean? Well we want you to add, as the major part of your project, some thing that begins with C. It can be a colour, a technique, a theme. Here are some ideas to get you going.... Christmas, cat, Cucumber Crush, chalk board technique.

Just Add Ink #290 ... Winners

Hello and welcome to the Just Add Ink winner's post.

Weren't the colours Jan gave us last week so bold and vibrant! What amazed me was how versatile the colours were and you all did a great job of showing us that. Thanks for sharing with us at this busy time of year! It's never easy to pick a winner but this week we settled on Julia Quinn for this vibrant flower filled card.

Here's what some of the design team had to say..

I love the focal panel in the centre of the card, it really pops!

Julia's bold, summery card really made the challenge colours shine.

Love the way she has used all those bold colours in just a section of her card!

Congratulations!
