Week 144 - Theme

Good morning dear crafters. We hope you all had a cracking Easter (sorry couldn’t resist) and ate lots of lovely chocolate. Shame about the weather though, although I’m sure it was a perfect excuse to craft all weekend lol! Before we announce the details of the brand new challenge we would like to say a big thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s “whatever the weather” challenge. There were lots of brilliant creations and Lis will certainly have a tough decision to narrow her favourites down to just 5. Please check back later to find out if you are one of the lucky 5 and also to find out who the lucky winner of the Limited Edition ‘Spring’ Promarkers courtesy of Letraset will be.

Onto this week’s challenge and the lovely Maya has set the theme and she has chosen “white on white”. We will allow some lightly inked edges but your papers/card must be all white, only your image can be coloured. As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Letraset pens (i.e. pro, flex, tria or aqua markers) and of course follow this week’s theme.

Our sponsor this week is again the very generous Letraset and one lucky winner will receive a Promarker stamping kit.
