Graphic colour blocked one layer card using Stampin Up Cheers and Sips stamp set dies and bundle. Card by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - stampinupcards - card by Diane Barnes Independent Demonstrator in Australia

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week's challenge is to create a one layer card with stamping or stencilling. How tricky could that be? Apparently tricky for this girl who loves to pop up elements on her cards. But I took up the challenge with my newest purchase, the Cheers and Sips stamp and die bundle, and tried a bit of an fun experiment with stamps and colour. Here's how my unexpected one layer card turned out.

Hello & welcome to this week's Just Add Ink Challenges Design Team share. This week is a Choose Two challenge with the options of including pearls, patterned paper, or pastels in a project. Easy choices for me - how can you resist using patterned paper, and pastels are some of my favourite shades. I chose to combine two different patterned papers - Wildflower Birthday and Thoughtful Journey to create a quick and easy card. Here's how it turned out.
