Challenge 2 - Weather

Hi there everyone! Well, we're here again with challenge two of the Crafty Calendar Challenge! I can't believe it's been a whole month since the start of the challenge, it's flown by!
I'd like to say a huge thank you to all the entrants to the challenge! We were blown away by the number of entries and thank you for your supportive comments!


OK, without further ado, here is the winner to challenge one:








Congratulations! Please email me at gwelch96@googlemail.com and we can arrange your six images from Sketching Stamper Digi-Stamps! Thanks again to Chris for the fab prize!






For challenge two, we want some sort of weather to be shown on your card/project. Once again, it can be interpreted however you like, and you can show it through your image, papers, colours, the choice is yours!




The extra option for this month is pearls, as we felt this would go nicely with the weather theme - please remember, though, the added extra is not compulsory.
