Week 664–embellish it!

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you had a great week last week.  Thank you for the gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘anything floral’ challenge.  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 Pattie’s Creations and also to see who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Marie from Team 1, and she has given us the theme of ‘embellish it’.  As the title suggests Marie would simply like you to make a creation using one or more embellishments.  It can be as simple as adding a gem or pearl or if you prefer you can add an abundance of die cuts, flowers, sequins, buttons etc.  Remember you can enter using any type of creation, it doesn’t have to be a card but whatever you make please remember you must include a hand coloured image to be eligible for our prize draw.  Easy peasy, so let’s see lots of entries.  The only rule we have is use your markers and have fun!

Our generous sponsor this week is Star Jam Lines who are offering one lucky winner 2 digi images of their choice (the Etsy store is currently closed but Olya will liaise with the winner to sort out choosing their images).  Most of the DT have used images from Star Jam Lines 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):
