Welcome to another fun challenge at Just Add Ink.  We have an Inspiration Challenge for you this week that has been suggested by Kerry.  I think this Challenge follows on nicely from the last Just Add Wildlife theme.  

The Design Team were inspired by a variety of the elements and have used lots of different ideas to create further inspiration for you.

We hope you can join us and will share your take on this weeks challenge.

Time for a new challenge here at Just Add Ink. This week Fiona has asked us all to Just Add Wildlife. Sadly, this will be the last challenge that Fiona will suggest as she has made the decision to focus on other interests. The Just Add Ink team is going to miss her lovely work and presence on the design team.

Now it is time to pull out your animal stamps and show us how wild you can get. Have fun!
