Week 777 - embellish it

Good morning lovely crafters, we hope you all had a fantastic week last week.  Thank you for all your gorgeous entries into last week’s ‘include gems and/or pearls' challenge; as always the DT had a brilliant time visiting your blogs and seeing your beautiful creations.  Please remember to come back later as we will be announcing our lucky winner who will win the 4 digi images courtesy of Lili of the Valley and we will also find out who Elaine has chosen as her Top 5 Passionista.

Onto the new challenge, which was chosen by Marie from Team 1 and she has given us a theme of ‘embellish it'.  Marie would simply like you to make a creation using one or more embellishments.  It can be as simple as adding a gem or pearl or if you prefer you can add an abundance of die cuts, flowers, sequins, ribbons etc.  Don’t forget you can enter any type of creation it doesn’t have to be a card although you do have to include a hand coloured image; so grab your favourite markers and get colouring.  

Our generous sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a prize of a £6.00 voucher to spend in their online store.  

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):
