SO a huge thankyou to
Zoe, Sally, Lyn, Pat and Carole
Here's hoping this year brings you all you would wish for and more.

This year we are head hunting!!
And to do that we thought we would use this weeks challenge to put out a

DT CALL

If you would like to join our friendly gang then create an entry following this weeks challenge and mark your entry with DT after your name, on the linky then post on your blog, letting everyone know about the DT call and we will pop over and say hi.

So the theme today is Resistance and we'd like you to make a tag using a resistance technique, it doesn't matter which you use, it could be faux batik, a gesso resistance, versamark or any other ideas you have.

To get you started here are a few ideas from The DT Team

Hope you're inspired enough to give it a whirl and if you're not sure what resist it, have a seach on You Tube, there are some great tutorials.
