Week 854 - lots of 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 ‘stitching: real or faux’ challenge. It was lovely to see all your beautiful entries and 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 £6.00 voucher courtesy of Di's Digi Stamps and we will also be finding out who Kitty has chosen as her top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Sue from Team 1, and she has given us the fantastic theme of ‘lots of layers’. Sue doesn’t mind what you make but she wants to see lots of lovely layers this week - no CAS cards allowed lol!   I’m sure we all have lots of patterned paper/cardstock in our stash that is piling up so come on and join in the fun and clear some space!  We can’t wait to see what you create.  Don’t forget you can make anything you want, it doesn’t have to be a card, all creations are welcome.  The only rule we have is that you must hand colour an image using your markers and of course have fun!

 

Our generous sponsor this week is Clearly Besotted Stamps and they are offering one lucky winner a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store. Stephanie has lots of gorgeous stamps and stencils in her store so why not pop over and check them out. I promise you won’t leave empty handed!
