This week’s Spoonflower challenge is another limited color palette. Some of these color prompts really speak to me, others not. This is one of the not one!

I didn’t let that deter me and when looking at the colors, frogs and toadstools came to mind.

Gosh we are a long way off being able to lazy around the garden here in Chicago but it is fun to turn my attention to those warmer days lolling about at a garden party.
I imagined birds flitting around blossom trees decorating with colorful bunting. Don’t you love that word “Bunting”!
I created two colorways… a day and night garden party.
I think I am going to go with the day party version but watch this space as I may do a last minute switcharoo!!
This week’s Spoonflower challenge is a prompt from Lain Snow, a swimwear company looking to add a small scale boho floral to it’s collection. The defined color palette is sage green, yellows and coffee browns.
Their brand seems to veer on the side of dusky colors so I played into that with my color choices.
Boy, have I embraced color with my entry for the Maximalist Folk wallpaper Spoonflower challenge this week! It’s loud and it’s lovely
I have literally screeched my car to a halt to stop and take photographs of weeds, so this week’s Spoonflower challenge “in the weeds” really spoke to me!
I mean just take a look at these beauties I snapped when I lived in Pennsylvania!
This photo was my inspiration for my design this week
It is always quite a challenge to stick to a predefined color palette and this week the Spoonflower challenge is to come up with a design using soft colors in pink, lilac and green… all predefined by hex numbers.
Sometimes only hungry hedgehogs having a midnight feast munching on Hydrageas will do!

It’s a wallpaper design for the Spoonflower challenge this week and the prompt is “Neutral Botanical”. These neutral challengers are always pretty difficult for me as I am the queen of color!
Never the less I am always up to push myself outside of my comfort zone, so here is my entry.
I also came up with a different colorway but I decided to enter the green one!
Spoonflower are celebrating international Women’s Day for their challenge this week. It was tricky to know what to design for this one so I went a beautiful hair route and incorporated the word “woman” in several languages!
The prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Y2K, threw me for a bit. For me, Y2K was all about how the world was going to grind to a halt because of the date issue on computers not going past 1999. But it seems there is a fashion resurgence of all things from that era so I turned to those clumpy shoes… and yes, I did wear and enjoy them hahhaah
Waking up to -7deg F and a decent covering of snow on the ground here in Chicago, I channeled thoughts of spring for my entry into this week’s Spoonflower challenge, Pocket, what a fun prompt!
