******Week 1 Post/Challenge Details******

Hello and welcome everyone. Jenny (Buttons) here reporting for duty with the next Frilly and Funkie Challenge. This fortnight's challenge is inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and in particular the work of the designer William Morris. This group of artists and craftspeople believed things in their lives should be well made and hand-crafted. So for this challenge we want to see;

• muted colours (for example, the original Distress colours are perfect)
• natural elements (like flowers and foliage)
• and you must include an animal of some kind.

Patterned backgrounds are also a great idea if you fancy having a go. Avoid using lots of embellishments and cute images this time. Here are a few pictures to get your creative juices flowing.

Now, here is some wonderful inspiration from the Frilly Design Team.
