the colourful challenge we have for you at Just Add Ink this week feels so appropriate as the winter grey/brown hues have been lifted by the blooming of cherry trees here this week. It's so heartening to feel just a touch of warmth in the air! And what is our challenge this week? It's Just Add Inspiration from Nikki. Just check out that colour!
I had to do something equally as colourful!
As a contrast to all that colour I wanted to make my one defined flower - colourless. And had a lot of fun trying out a new (to me) masking technique. But I did want to fill the card with colour so out came a stencil and my reinkers and I got to work splashing on colour. What I did find when I removed the stencil was that the colour was very much restricted to the pattern. But that was easy to remedy - I just swished my paint brush over and blended the colours together with a little water.
The bright colours of the flowers just make me happy! Hope you can join in with us this week. Do check out the rest of the DT and their wonderful creations.

Kim
