Just Add Ink #714...Winners

Hello there,
Thanks for joining us for last week's colour challenge. I think most of us had to stop and think about how to mix and match this combo. We really enjoyed seeing your take on it. This week our winner is Deborah Wheeler with this gently coloured landscape scene.


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

The soft tones of this simple but stunning card are sheer perfection.

Love how the colours are blended to give such a soft glow (when they are such strong colours).

This delicately blended scene is stunning!



Congratulations!
