Week 488–embossing (heat/dry)

Good morning lovely crafters; I hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries for last week’s ‘make it cute’ challenge. As always it was lovely to see your gorgeous entries and the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs. Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing the lucky winner of the 3 digi images courtesy of Crafty Sentiments designs and we will also be finding out who Sue has chosen as her top 5 passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Jacky from Team 2 and her theme is ‘embossing (heat or dry)’.  Elaine would simply like to see some embossing on your cards this week.  It can be as simple as using an embossing folder or stamping a sentiment or background with Versamark and heat embossing.  We cannot wait to see what you make.  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 Colour of Love digis (formerly Lacy Sunshine) and they are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from their online store.  Their images are gorgeous so why not pop over to their store and check them out. Some of the DT were lucky enough to use images from Colour of Love 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):
