Just Add Ink #215 - Just add a colour combination!

Welcome to the latest challenge at Just Add Ink.  

Our challenge this week will be running over TWO weeks! (Closing on 28 May)

We know many of you are preparing for the Australian Stampin’ UP! Convention so this will give you a little more time to participate.

Mae's set out challenge for you and it's a brilliant colour combo  - Cherry Cobbler, Baked Brown Sugar and Garden Green.

Now I must admit I don’t use these colours very often so I found this one to be quite challenging but it is called a challenge for a reason!

The colours do lend themselves to a Christmas card however as you’ll see below the design team have come up with a few other ways you can use them.
