April Challenge

Welcome to the new challenge at The Crafting Cafe.

Firstly may we thank everyone who played along last month.

Not too many entries but they were all great!

Thanks to those who added their names to the DT call too.

Altered Art and DT Call - Amanda

Hi all, Amanda here with some inspiration for this month's altered art challenge.  I chose the beautiful Pansy & Butterfly Frame image from our lovely sponsors Delicious Doodles and I've managed to combine three of my favourite pastimes in this project: crafting, gardening, and eating custard :-) 

It's a seed storage pot, but it started life as an empty custard tin.  For more info about the project, please visit my blog here.

Don't forget we are running a DT call alongside the challenge this month.  If you want to be part of our fun team, all you need to do is add DT after your name when you link up your project! Enter the challenge here.

Happy crafting!
