Week 582–soft finishes

Good morning lovely crafters, I hope you’re all doing ok and managed to fit some crafting into your busy schedules last week.  Thank you for all your lovely entries for last week’s ‘use a circle’ challenge.  It was great to see all your gorgeous entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who has won the 2 digi images courtesy of Dr Digi’s House of Stamps and we will also find out 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 us the theme of ‘soft finishes’. This week Linda would like to see all your ribbon, lace, burlap, muslin, twine etc on your creations.  If it’s soft then go ahead and add it lol!  Have fun with this challenge.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card.  The only rule we have is that you have to use your markers, for example – Promarkers, Copics, Spectrum Noir, Karin Brushmarkers, Zig Clean Color Brush Markers to name just a few.

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 images from Colour of Love digis 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):

Stay safe and sending our love to you all.
