Week 635/6 🌹🌹 Anything goes with option of Roses

Hello, it's Mervi here to welcome you to the next summertime challenge! This is a fortnight theme until the 13th August! And it is...

***Anything goes with option of Roses***

Please check the winner's post below, if you entered the "Feminine" theme last fortnight.

Two weeks and two generous sponsors:

1. Chocolate Baroque is a small independent art and craft company, based in the historic market town of Barnard Castle in County Durham in the North-East of England and is owned and run by Lesley and David Wharton.

We design our own range of natural rubber art stamps from hand drawn originals, complemented by typography from Lesley. The rubber stamps are made in house, by David, to our very exacting quality standards. And nothing gets past his eagle eye!

2. Ruth Hamilton Design: " I have enjoyed crafting all my life and have been involved in the craft industry for several years. I started drawing images to use on cards for my own use and then went on to design some stamps for a well known craft company.I am an avid lover of nature so most of my drawings are of flowers, birds and animals. Even when I can’t travel I love spending time in the garden, growing plants and looking after them. I hope you enjoy colouring my digi images, I have several YouTube vidoes here."

We are really pleased to welcome Ruth as our new Resident Guest Designer. Some of you may remember her from a few years ago when she was both a sponsor and GDT. She has recently re-launched a new web site Ruth Hamilton Design where you can buy her digital images. The second prize will be the winners choice of three images from Ruth's site.

Ruth has used her new Rose image which you can find on her web site
