Week 823 - add some red

Good morning lovely crafters; we hope you all had a fantastic week last week. Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week's 'ribbon and/or lace' 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 £10.00 voucher courtesy of RAM Stamps and also who Kitty has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘add some red'. As Valentine's Day is fast approaching Sue thought it would be a fun challenge to use the colour red on your creations this week. It doesn't have to be a Valentine's creation at all, it can be anything you like as long you include the colour red. It really cannot get any easier than that can it? Such a great challenge and we cannot wait to see what you create. Please remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make 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!

Our generous sponsor this week is Sheepski Designs and they are offering one lucky winner 3 images of their choice (the store is currently closed but the winner will be sent a link to be able to choose their images).  Most of the DT have used images from Sheepski Designs on their cards 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):

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
