Your host for this week is our designer from The United Kingdom, Sarah Anderson.
Here's what Sarah had to say about her inspiration
for this week's challenge:
"I've been looking at the autumn trees for a few weeks now, and the ones I have enjoyed the most are the ones with orange and yellow leaves, where the dark brown trunk stands out in stark contrast. Hence my choice of colours for the challenge. I hope you enjoy working with these brights this week, contrasting them with dark brown/black. I'm soooo excited to see what you do with this colour choice" : )
Here are projects from our other designers to help inspire you.....
