Just Add Ink #645...No Stamping!


 

Good Morning JAI friends!

We are back with a fun "NEW" challenge today from Tristan and this one is all about creating without stamps!

It's time to put your thinking caps on and make a project that is created without adding any stamping and see what you can come up with. So pull out your papers-dies and anything else you think will work.

As you can see by the design team projects, you will find loads of options once you start searching through your crafty stash. Have fun and we look forward to seeing your projects!
