So let’s see what the design team have made for us and we're starting off with a tutorial from Fiona...

Fiona - Hi Everyone for todays make I have made a box card using the fantastic Winnie Sugar sprinkles cd and some of the gorgeous toppers available on this wonderful cd. I so adore this wonderful character. I have also been asked to do a tutorial for this week with full details on my blog.

Tanya - Hello everybody. For this week's challenge I've used the Lemonade Fizz Collection which is available on CD and download HERE and HERE to make a 21st birthday card for one of my friends. She deserved something pretty and special and so I've decoupaged the flowers either side of a beautiful photograph of her. More photos and details on my blog.

Audrey chose Barista Coffee/Cake digi image, which can be found in Work and Play Volume 12 Big Kahuna Digital Collection, and made a chocolate bar wrapper. I chose papers, frame and 2 sentiments from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Download Collection. Sure hope you like it - full details re: my project are available on my blog.

Monica- For my make I used the colorful strawberry pot included on the brand new Winnie Fruit Punch collection to make a shaped card. 3d some of the leaves and strawberries, added some 3d butterflies. For the focal point I used one of the gorgeous precoloured toppers and finally one of the banners with "happy birthday" sentiment.

Gail - This week I've created a page in my A5 art journal. I used one of my fav digi stamps

Oddella with handbag part of the Ickyink collection and the fabulous sentiment is from the Stamp Soup Lemonade Fizz CD-Rom. I also used the Stamp Soup stamp sets, Lavender Tea and Lemonade Fizz in the background.

Jane – Hello! Did you manage to join us for the Facebook launch party of Nikky’s brand new collection WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH? If you didn’t you missed some amazing projects from the design team but don’t worry you can see them all in the Gallery. I made a rocker card this week using this gorgeous new bundle and it really is a must-have! Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Lynda: How could I not use the brand new collection, Winnie Fruit Punch, it's so stunning. I love the fact you can buy it on a CD or you can download it to use right away. I made a label for some honey that I was putting in a gift basket :-)

Anjie-

I've used the fabulous Lavender Tea download collection again. I've printed one of the images onto water colour card and used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi water colour paints to colour it in. Then I've simply matted and layered onto coordinating card and added a border with a fine liner pen.

Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree.

So let’s see what the design team have made for us and we're beginning with a tutorial from Audrey....

Audrey chose all her elements for her project this week from the Lemonade Fizz Download Collection - the template for the watering can, papers, digis and sentiment can all be found in the Lemonade Fizz Download Collection. Additionally, I used my Copics as watercolors when coloring these flower and butterfly images and wanted to share a quick tutorial on how you can also achieve this effect. You will need your markers, colorless blender ink and a water pen. Fill the water pen with colorless blender, then begin coloring by saturating each small area you are about to color with the colorless blender ink and apply your Copics over it. Continue to go over the image with the water pen while you add other colors and blend out your coloring until you achieve your desired results. Below is the finished product, you can see more angles on the watering can as well as photos of my tutorial by visiting my blog. Hugs:)

Lynda: I'm a big fan of Spring color's so really enjoyed making this card :-) I used the beautiful Winnie sugar sprinkles collection this week, which is a must have for all your spring projects. The sentiment, banner and flowers are all included along side so much more. If you wanted to buy the flowers bundle separately , you can here

Tanya - For this week's challenge I've used one of the older images from the Octavia Frosted Winter Collection called the Arctic Unicorn available HERE as a single black and white digi which I've coloured in pastel coloured pencils and combined her with papers and the sentiment DREAM from the Octavia Moonfly Collection available HERE on download.

More details on my blog.

Jane – Hello! So for a Spring Colour challenge what better collection to use than the ridiculously gorgeous WINNIE SUGAR SPRINKLES SPRINGTIME BUNDLE! My brother and his wife moved house last week so I made them a new home card using lots (and lots) of the amazing pre-coloured elements. Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Fiona - For this weeks make I have used the new work and play 12 collection the image is called lollipop lady school crossing and used some of digital elements and paper from lollipop and lady school crossing design sheets The flowers used are from Lavender Tea the kit is so fantastic for all your birthdays etc.
