March challenge

The first Sunday of the month so time to announce our new challenge which is..............

******Pretty in Pink******

Just about anything pink will work for this one and as always you can enter up to three times, combine with other challenges and all we ask is that there is some visible stamping on your artwork, after all we are called Stamping Sensations.

We are pleased to welcome Stix2 back this month, they offer a range of craft adhesive and glue based products, die cuts, card blanks, speciality papers and envelops all especially designed for crafters.

And the DT have chipped in with some goodies as well, so it's a bit of a bumper month and one lucky winner will receive all you see below, rather pink in keeping with the theme.

Now for some inspiration and first I would like to welcome Viv as this months Guest Designer, she has made a beautiful Shabby Chic card to share with you all......

And the Design Team......

Hello to you all, time to announce the winner and Top 3 from our Wings Fantasy and Fiction challenge and what a great month is was, thank you all so much for the wonderful artwork, clearly you love the theme as much as we at the DT do, so it might have to be one we repeat later in the year again.

No surprises that we have had a bit of a difficult time choosing our favourites but we have eventually whittled it down to four and here they are:

Mid month inspiration

Good morning all you lovely Peeps, our 'Wings, Fantasy and Fiction' theme has attracted some beautiful entries but if you have not yet joined in or would like to do so again it will be running until 26th February so there is still time to join in for a chance to win the £35 voucher from this months sponsor Crafty Devils. 

Now it's time for some inspiration and this month Maddy is sharing her favourite pieces of artwork from her previous twelve months creations.................

Maddy here and it is my turn to share two of my own favourite projects from the past year. One of my favourite items this year has been the gilding waxes. I love rubbing them into dry-embossed surfaces to create backgrounds, and this bird card is one of the pieces I produced using this method:

"Feather Your Nest"

The other card I'd like to share with you is a book card (my favourite type to make!). This is the first I made using button flowers, and the original post included a tutorial detailing how to make the flowers if you fancy giving it a go.

"The Button Garden Book Card"

Thank you so much for sharing your inspirational work with us all Maddy, both pieces are a delight.
