Thank you for making such a wonderful, and such a lonnnnng "string of pearls" for us to admire last week - they really were all so lovely.
This week it's Kathy here with a challenge for you.
The World is Your Oyster
I'd like you to celebrate all the amazing and diverse countries and cultures we have in this world of ours by making cards with a "feel" of any country you like. There's a whole world of possibilities out there, so don't just go for the obvious {wink}
You can take your inspiration from the colours, style, patterns, maybe the food or national costume etc - rather than showing images etc of that place (though you could do that if you wanted).
The Football World Cup starts today, so perhaps if you're desperate (I hate football, but don't let that stop you...hehe) checking out the teams that have reached the finals might give some ideas too.

I wonder Where in the World our journey will take us this week? We're really looking forward to seeing where your card will take us to on the DCM World Tour, so please come back and leave a link for where we can see your card.
Here are some fab ideas from our Designers to get you thinking - see if you can work out which country they have used for their inspiration, then hop over to our personal blogs to see if you're right.
