Just Add Ink #779...Top Picks!

 

Good morning JAI friends!

We are sharing our "Top 3" and we have to say just "WOW"....What a fabulous gallery we had for this one and choosing only 3 was not easy! 

So many fabulous and creative entries, so a huge thank you to those that joined in for this one! We really appreciate the support and hope to see you back again soon.



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

Yvon's card caught my attention because of all the gorgeous details that I kept seeing the longer I kept looking at her card. Loving the layering of hearts and embellishments - so very pretty!




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

I love everything about this card, from the bold, cheerful colours and cute focal image to the sponged, distressed background and confetti sequins. Fabulous use of our sketch!




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

I love the different purples and moody blues. The various layers behind her beautiful flowers are fabulous.

Congratulations!
