At the Pixie Cottage we are changing things up a little and are now going to be offering challenges every week!
Also we are changing to a "Take Your Pick" style challenge. We will give you a sketch and a technique/product/theme and you can chose to do one, the other or both!
This week's sketch comes from Senior Team Member Pam.


Along with the sketch we have the technique of Embossing, wet or dry, so please play along with the sketch, technique or both!
Remember you can use any stamp company you like but if you have some Pixie Cottage stamps we'd love to see what you can do with them.
Please remember also to only link to the direct post of a NEW creation, no linking to posts before the date of the challenge please.
Also note that you must link back to the Pixie Cottage blog to be in with a chance of winning or placing in our Top Three.
As we are moving to weekly challenges the Top Three and winner will now be announced on the Friday of the following week, thanks for your understanding.
One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.

This is the first time you will have seen creations from the new team and I hope you can spend a few moments to give them a little love.
You can get to their blogs to see how they created the cards by clicking on their names.
