Just Add Ink 261

I'd really like to thank the team at Just Add Ink for a couple of things today. Firstly, for the opportunity to have a spot as a Guest Designer. That's so fabulous that it puts me way at the top end of the happy scale. Secondly, for having such an amazing inspiration board for my first guest spot challenge. If you could see my bedroom, you'd know exactly why I found this board so amazing!


The colours are fantastic and I love the sinuous form of the leaves and lushness of the rounded shapes.





Ingredients  
Card: Whisper White, Island Indigo
Stamps: SU Kinda Eclectic, Clearly Besotted Leafy Accents and Say it in Style.
Ink: Island Indigo, Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler
Other: IOS die 152-N, Elegant Butterfly punch, linen twine, brad base and Island Indigo candy dot, dimensional.

    1. Thanks Shona - you are always so enthusiastic and encouraging! That little IOS die is so lovely. It 's the first time I've used it but it was hard to keep for this challenge.
