Week 3 – Inspiration Challenge

This weeks challenge is another new one for us, this one is called our Inspiration Challenge, and the way that this one works is that we will show you a photo and we would like you to take Inspiration from it, so it can be anything from patterns, shapes, colours even textures, let your imagination run wild and have fun interpreting the photo :),

So here is the photo for the first Inspiration Challenge :)

We hope you have fun with this challenge but don't forget that you need to use at least one item from BasicGrey somewhere on your creation to be eligible for the Monthly prize.

This challenge ends on the 18th of September at 11.00pm (UK Time)

Oh and before i show you what the Design team have come up with i must give an Apology to our recent Guest Designer June, Last week was June’s last week with us as guest and i completely forgot to announce it, i hope you can forgive me June and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours :)

So here is what the Design Team have created.

Week 1 – A sketch by Tara G

Hi everyone and welcome back to the new and improved BasicGrey Challenges, we hope that you are enjoying the new look blog and have found your way around ok :)

Well here we are with our first challenge ,well technically its the 37th challenge, but as we have re – launched the blog we thought why not start the challenges with a clean slate :) , so i give you our first challenge , drum roll please :)

A sketch by Tara G

Our fabulous design team member Tara G has designed this wonderful sketch for us to play with this week :), feel free to flip, stretch and rotate the sketch to fit your needs, as long as the original sketch can be easily recognised you are good to go :), oh and don't forget to use at least one element from BasicGrey somewhere on your creation.

Now remember that we will no longer be offering weekly prizes, instead 5 lucky people chosen at random from this challenge will go through to the monthly prize drawing which has been sponsored by our one and only sponsor Simon Says Stamp, and believe me when i say the prize is a good one :)

Also dont forget that we are now a fortnightly challenge blog and our next challenge will be on the 22nd of August, so that gives you a little extra time to take part :), plus we also now allow you to combine your cards to our challenges with any other challenge blog that allows you to do this :)

Righty then here is the Design Teams cards to give you some inspiration :)
