Week 366–add texture

Good morning dear crafters, I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘spots and/or stripes’ challenge.  It was lovely to see all your wonderful entries and as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will receive the stamp set (in stock) courtesy of Uniko stamps and we will also be finding out who I have chosen as my top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which has been set by Ali from Team 1, and she has given us a gorgeous theme of ‘add texture’.  Ali would simply like you to add some texture to your creations this week such as embossing, glitter, frantage, hessian/lace, or even distressing your edges.  As always to be eligible for our prize draw you must use your 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

Onto the new challenge, which was originally set by Sue from Team 2 (however sadly Sue has now stepped down from the DT) and she is has given us a theme of “spots and/or stripes.  We would like you to simply make something that includes spots, stripes or if you’re feeling brave both spots and stripes!  We can’t wait to see what you make.  As Sue is no longer able to choose her top 5 I will be doing it instead.  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 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
