Into the Garden

 Good morning!

It's Nat here bringing you this week's challenge, but first I'd like to thank everyone who played along with our "Just Checking" dare last week. Nice to see we're not the only fans of a plaid pattern. ;)

--------------

Over the past year in particular, gardens have become important spaces for many of us. 

Whether just being a place to enjoy some fresh air, read a book in the sunshine, dine outside, or indeed witness the seasons change.

For this week's dare: 

We're celebrating the bounty of your garden or favourite outside space.

To get you started, here are some of the wonderful cards the design team created:

Just Checking

Well, Hello Again!

Its lovely to see you!  Thanks so much to those who joined in last week - are you ready for a new challenge?

Here we go: 

Just Checking! 

All we're asking this week is that you use some kind of check pattern on your cards. 
It could be stamped, embossed, patterned paper, stencilled, hand-drawn...
You could use checks as a background or as part of a design element of an image e.g. on a Chef's apron or tartan rug...
We're looking forward to checking up on your makes, but for starters here are some ideas from our fabulous design team to help inspire you

Up the Flag Pole!

 Hello there!

Thank you so much for joining in with our challenge last week - Rizwana's mood board was so bright and Summery, wasn't it?

This week its me, Kathy here to set the challenge and I hope you'll have some fun with it!

Up the Flag Pole!

I find the flags of different nations so interesting - there are some wonderful designs to be found when you start looking, some simple and elegant, and some really wild and wacky ones

So this week I'd like you to your inspiration from the flag of a country other than your own - there are plenty to choose from! 

You can use a design element from the flag, the layout, the colours... 

This web-link has a huge number of flags from all sorts of interesting places which will give you loads of ideas: https://flagpedia.net/index

Don't forget to tell us which country's flag you've used

Here are some fabulous ideas from our brilliant design team to get you started
