Just Add Ink #735...Winners

Hello there,
Thanks to those stampers who joined us for first colour challenge of 2025. It was a bit of a daunting, but visually striking, combo and you all produced great projects with it. Our winner this week is Jolanda J with this bold geometric design.

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

The use of patterns turn this into such an elegant and perfect masculine card.

Love how the bold, colourful patterned background.

Clever use of the masks to make a bold background.

Congratulations!

Here is your badge to wear on your blog.

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

The subtle colouring pops the florals off the background.

Black, white and a little colour is such a fabulous way to highlight these florals.

 A sweet floral card.

Lovely mix of elements.

Using the patterns in layers is such a fresh and bold design.

Such a bold and striking card.
