Challenged by ... {Darcy Wilkinson} and winners

1. And the winners are...and what a lot of winners this week!

The lovely and very experienced Carol Quance showed us great ways with Grunge Paste and paint this week, and a wonderful range of ideas with Lin Brown's Eclectica series of stamps on card, fabric, and the Eclectica chipboard shapes..... there was a huge range of ideas to have a go at yourselves! Many of you jumped in and played along, and by sharing with us all how you were inspired by Carol, it automatically entered you in the draw to win PA stamps of your choice!
  
Random winner #1 from the First Challenge draw 
(every single entry linked, including multiple entries) is: Dawn H who made this pencil case as inspired by Carol Quance
 






Congratulations, you have won a PaperArtsy A5 stamp of your choice.

2. The week ahead...
Coming up in the week ahead we welcome back Darcy Wilkinson 

I think Darcy has been a bit cream crackered by the who PA blog experience! LOL She certainly puts a lot of energy into it, so its no wonder she's a bit zonked! 
But since we saw her last she has been out and about with Colin... 



This is how he likes to travel, safely tucked up in the back of the car having a nice nap on the way!


 He quickly made some new friends


And then time to scrunch the toes in the sand!

And this is a fabulous heart Darcy has made with her amazing fabric-gesso technique. 

When she came down to our retailer training event in July, I didn't realise how strong and almost plastic the fabric becomes with the several layers of gesso applied before she decorates it. Well worth a look here at her blog post if you are interested in textile techniques.



3. Challenged by....{Darcy Wilkinson}
 
I do hope that you will find time to join in with Darcy's techniques this week. As you all know, she has an extraordinary way of thinking outside the box, so its wonderful if you can join in and try some of her ideas yourself !


The Designer's challenge is hosted on this blog post every Sunday night. You can link using the InLinkz tool your own blog post, Pinterest pin or Flickr page, or indeed any webpage that shows us what you have made in response to Darcy's posts this week. 

On Sunday by noon (London time) you need to have your link entered, and you will go into one of 2 draws to win new stuff. 

The first draw is for every single entry, so if you have multiple entries, you get entered multiple times.

The second draw is only one entry per name, and the winner of Draw 1 is not included in this second draw.

Winners are announced here, this time next week.
