New challenge and new rules!

Hi, welcome back everyone - there were a lot of fantastic entries to our last challenge and the team have really enjoyed looking though and commenting on them, pop back later to see who our random winner is.

We are making changes to the rules for the next and all future challenges - there are such a lot of lovely cards entered for the challenges that we think it is fairer to reward the effort going into them by choosing a winner and top three each fortnight. The winner will get the prize from our sponsor and the top 3 will each receive a Cardmadfairy Digi Stamp!

Please remember you must use a digi stamp on your creation and while we would love it to be a Cardmadfairy image it is not necessary for your entry. However if you use one of our digi stamps you may enter as often as you like, but if your entry uses a digi from another source you are limited to only one entry per person. (All Cardmadfairy Digi Stamps can be found here.)

Onto this week's challenge which is a Recipe - Use 1 digital image, 2 patterned papers and 3 embellishments (3 different or 3 the same as long as there are 3!)
We are excited to have the Waxfruit Company as the sponsor for this challenge

Here is some inspiration from our design team:

Challenge 5 - Easter

Hi everyone, it's Friday and we're back with a brand new challenge for you today: Easter.

We'd love to see all of your Easter projects - cards, bookmarks, altered art, gifts - anything as long as it fits the theme!

We had a lot of fun checking out all of the entries to the last challenge and will be back later today with our winner announcement.
