Week 521–3 or more layers

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your entries for last week’s ‘sparkle & shine’ challenge.  It was a very popular challenge and it was lovely to see all your entries.  As always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the $12.00 voucher courtesy of Bugaboo stamps and we will also be finding out who Nic has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Kitty from Team 2, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘3 or more layers’.  This week Kitty doesn’t mind what you make as long as you include at least 3 layers on your creations!  If you’re anything like me you have lots of pretty papers that we hoard because it’s too nice to use so why not take the opportunity to use some up this week!  No one layer, CAS cards allowed this week, sorry!  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card.  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) and of course follow the theme.  Please can you help us by stating which Letraset products you have used on your creation i.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies and they are offering one lucky winner a $12.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  Although the ADFD store is now closed the winner will still be access the store to choose their images. 

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):
