Just Add Ink # 218 - Just Add a Colour Combo

Hello Stampers and Crafters, welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Colour Challenge (with a Twist), courtesy of Kim.

The reason this Colour Challenge has a twist is because there are actually 5 colours - but you can pick which 3 you would like to use.  These 5 colours are the 2012-2014 Stampin Up In-colors and are very close to retiring - so this is our way of saying farewell to them.

We hope that many of you will be inspired to join in with this week's challenge and show us some beautiful creations using these gorgeous colours.  

Here are the colours ...
