Week 766 - dry embossing

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘dies and/or punches’ challenge.  It was lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our winner of the 2 digi images courtesy of All Dressed Up Stamps and also revealing who Karen has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.  

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marlene from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘dry embossing'. Marlene doesn’t mind what you make this week as long as it has some embossing on it.  We will accept embossing with your folders, stencils, a stylus or even your scoring tool and a score board to emboss some lines, all of which are fun techniques.  So let’s see some texture on your creations.  Such a fun and easy theme this week and we cannot wait to see all your gorgeous entries.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw; so grab your markers and have fun! 

Our generous sponsor this week is Dr Digi's House of Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used images from Dr Digis HOS on their creations this week.

The design team have worked their magic once again this week and have created beautiful cards to inspire you (please click on their names to visit their personal blogs):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
