Week 851 - floral vibes

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week. Thank you for the gorgeous entries for our ‘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. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of Colour of Love Digis and also who Marie has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista. 

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Karen from Team 2, and she has given us the theme of ‘floral vibes’. Karen 
has given you a super easy theme and would like to see flowers on your creations this week.  It could be a floral image, floral papers or even die cut flowers (as long as you also include an image coloured with markers).  Such a fun theme; we can’t wait to see what you make. Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card. The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs who are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice (the online store is currently closed but the winner will be sent a link so that they can choose their images). All of the DT have used images from Sheepski Designs 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):
(using Sheepski Designs image 'sunflowers')
(using Sheepski Designs image 'it's a spring thing')
(using Sheepski Designs image 'buttercups')
(using Sheepski Designs image 'fuchsias')
(using Sheepski Designs image 'peonies')

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

Onto the new challenge which this week has been chosen by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us the fab theme of 'dies and/or punches'. Marie doesn't mind what you make this week as long as you include some die cuts or punched pieces. This is always a very popular challenge and I know I can’t make a card anymore without reaching for the dies, so hopefully this week’s challenge will have lots of entries. Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw. So come on, grab your markers, and have fun!
