Week 442–embossing

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘celebrations’ challenge.  It was lovely to see all your entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will win the 3 digi images courtesy of The Paper Shelter and we will also find 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 lovely theme of ‘embossing’.  As the title suggests Kitty would like you to make something that includes some form of embossing.  It can be embossed using an embossing folder or stencil, heat embossing with sticky ink and embossing powder or even using embossing paste.  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 products you have used on your creation I.e. ‘coloured with promarkers’ etc.  Thanks x x

Our generous sponsor this week is Sasayaki Glitter and they are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Their images are cute so why not pop over to their store and check them out.  The DT were lucky enough to be given ‘gift Amy’ from Sasayaki Glitter to use 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):
