Week 826 - spring flowers

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you so much for your gorgeous entries for our ‘shop your stash’ challenge. It was lovely to see all your wonderful creations and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner, who will receive the 3 digi images courtesy of Polkadoodles, and we will also find out who Sarah has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Wendy from Team 2 and she has given us the super easy theme of 'spring flowers'.  Wendy doesn't mind what you make this week as long as you include some flowers somewhere on your creation. It can simply be using a floral image, or an image that includes a flower, flowery background paper or even just floral embellishments. Such a fun and easy challenge for you this week, so let’s go flower crazy!! Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your markers and of course follow the theme.

Our generous sponsor this week is Uniko Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner 1 product of their choice (stamp, stencil or die; which must be in stock) from their online store. 
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):

Another week of wonderful inspiration from the DT!! We hope you can join in with our challenge this week and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.

Hugs, Denise, Gina and DT x x

Whatever you use can you let us know in your post?  Such a brilliant theme, and we can’t wait to see what you make. You can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card. Please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!
