Challenge 21 - Texture + DT call

Thanks so much to all of you lovely crafters who joined in with our last challenge, we really enjoyed checking out all of your friendship cards - see our chosen winner and top 3 at the end of this post.

I'm sad to announce the coming departure of one of our original dt members Merry, who is stepping down because of work and family commitments, Merry has been with us since the beginning and it has been fabulous working with her all the way from the other side of the globe! 

Merry's last challenge will be our next one at the end of November and to keep our numbers up we would like to find a new dt member to join us from December - so if you are interested in joining our happy team please just put DT after your name on your entry to our new challenge

The challenge for the next two weeks is - Texture:  it can be embossing, fabric, embellishments or anything that adds some extra texture to your creation.

Once again the winner of this challenge will receive their choice of 5 Cardmadfairy digis and, as a bonus, anyone who enters using one of our own designs will be entered into a draw to win another 5!

 

We hope you will play along with us this week but please remember that you must use a digi stamp although it's not necessary to use a Cardmadfairy one but it would be fantastic to see how you would use our images. Please remember though to only enter the challenge once unless you are using Cardmadfairy images, we will have to delete any extra entries which don't comply with our rules.

Here is some inspiration from the DT including our GDT for December Cathy - who, like Merry, hails from Australia
