Week 495–add gems and/or pearls

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week. We were lucky in the UK to have another Bank Holiday yesterday so I hope you all enjoyed the extra day off from work! Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘special anniversary challenge’ where our theme was anything goes.  We were delighted to see lots of lovely entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our 7 lucky winners!

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2 and she has given us the theme of ‘add gems and/or pearls’.  As the title suggests Linda simply wants you to add gems, pearls or both to your creations this week.  So easy right? Remember you can enter using any type of creation but as always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers). Please can you help us by stating which products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc. Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor is Cowling & Wilcox who are offering one lucky winner a 6 pack of Promarkers (skin tones set 1). 

Cowling & Wilcox Ltd. was born in London in 1960 and has been going strong supplying the very best art products for nearly 60 years. To this day, they maintain their original concept of providing specialist fine and graphic art materials at exceptional prices, and they’re devoted to upholding this mission statement as they expand and evolve into the future.  Check out their current ‘Spring Sale’ on the website for some amazing deals.  They have Promarkers at fantastic prices, so grab them before they sell out!
