Week 264 Theme and Birthday Winners

At last here are the winners of the prizes from our birthday celebration week!
We have four sponsors and four prizes and so without further ado here are the four lucky winners!






Well done everyone, if you will contact us with your details we'll pass them on to
the respective sponsors!
There's also a Winner's badge for you at the page at the top!

Very many thanks to all our wonderful sponsors too!


Now on to this week and we have 
A THEME
for you

ADD SOME TEXTURE

Chrissie

When making some Thank you cards for a charity, I embossed the front of one card on the wrong side so cut it off to re-use, so here it is as the front panel of this card. The embossing folder is from Hobby Solutions. The butterfly is cut from some smooshed card with a die from All Occasions. The sentiment is from Penny Black.

Sarah

This one uses texture paste through a leaf stencil from STAMPlorations
then sprinkled with Glamour Dust. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted
with the 'Happy' heat embossed onto vellum and the matching die used for
'Anniversary' The sequins are by Lucy Abrams.


Anne

My starting point for texture here was the rather hairy twine that the bird is perched on!  I added some embossing to the background and also to the bird's wing.  SU bird punch, Mama Elephant sentiment.


We have been delighted to see that many of you have been visiting fellow contributors blogs to leave a friendly comment, and as ever we have been delighted to receive visits from you at our personal blogs too.

Very many thanks to everyone who has expressed an interest in joining our Design Team, we will be deliberating and letting you know our choices very soon!
