Week 695–dies and/or punches

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries for our ‘clean and simple’ challenge; it obviously scared a lot of you as not very many entries for this one but it was so lovely to have you join us and as always the DT had a wonderful time visiting your blogs and seeing your amazing creations. Don’t forget to pop back later to find out who won the 3 digi images courtesy of Sheepski Designs and also who Sue has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Linda from Team 2, and she has given you the theme of ‘dies and/or punches’.  Linda doesn’t mind what you make this week, as long as you include some die cutting or punched pieces on your creations.  This is always a very popular challenge – 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.  Just remember your entry must include a hand-coloured image to be eligible for the prize draw.  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 Colour of Love digis and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Most of the DT have used image from Colour of Love 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):
