Patterns Challenge Week 2

Hi Leo here!

Here are the details for the second of the new weekly challenges. The latest challenge is called Patterns.

The new challenges will focus on a different pattern every week. You might want to interpret them literally and raid your patterned paper stash but we'll also be looking at ways to use pattern as the main embellishing element on your page.

How it works:
I'll post up details of each new challenge every week, (this being challenge number 2 of 4). Each new challenge will be posted here on the blog and also in the Facebook Group for you to follow along with.
Complete all the Pattern weekly challenges to be eligible for an extra goody in your next kit box! The closing date to complete all four of your Pattern challenge projects will be 20th September 2019. All projects must be new projects made specifically for this challenge. You can use any stash you choose but it's a great opportunity to dig into your kit box and not leave it unused!

For the second challenge the pattern focus is:

Stripes

So you can take this literally and head into your stash to pick out striped patterned papers to use. Or you might want to think a little more about ways you can incorporate stripes in a different way.

If you need ideas I've dug these up from Pinterest to help to kick start your mojo:

How about creating a fun rainbow of stripes and like these they don't have to be in a straight line!

A subtle way to use stripes as a patterned paper background with an overlay of white cardstock.

A different kind of stripe pattern - a simple thin diagonal stripe on this paper - something similar could be recreated in pen lines or even stitching?

Simple stripes of cut out patterned papers but all in one colour tone against a contrasting colour background.

These are washi tapes made into a striped background. If you have a large stash of washi tapes this could be a good way to get some of them used!

If you're not a fan of using multiple colours how about going for an elegant black and white stripe?

Here strips of patterned paper have been mixed with stipes of dry brushed acrylic paint to create the background. 

Another different stripe using cut out strips of paper made to look like brushed on paints. 

This one has a mix up of stripes made with washi tape, paint, stamping, patterned paper and fabric trims.

These paper stripes have star cut on one end.

A simple striped patterned paper has been used here along with little strips of stitched sequin accents.

Another washi tape stripe background but this time on a darker cardstock.

This one is super fun and uses paper straws in s striped pattern. You can create your own paper straws using rolled up patterned paper off cuts.

Ready to get going with your own layout?

Once you've finished your creation upload it to your platform of choice.
