Well - considering I was challenged outside my comfort zone, I'm pretty happy with the end result. This week at Friday Mashup! half of Amy's challenge was to use different patterns. Because I'm a GenX gal, this goes against how I was brought up - but a challenge is a challenge and I was up for it!
I took DSP from Patio Party, Summer Smooches, and the new Sycamore Street. I guess I really didn't follow the guidelines I learned from Carrie Cudney in the "I'm a Pattern Mixing Pro" session at Convention this summer - one of her RULES was to stay with the same package collection. But then she also said that rules were made to be broken.
The sketch comes from Freshly Made Sketches.
So here are the challenges
- Make a project using "Different Patterns".
- Or Make a project with the three or more colors from "Summer Starfruit, Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo, Early Espresso and Sahara Sand".
- Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Patterned Project with the Challenge Colors".
If you want to join the Friday Mashup you'll still have time, but I've just sneaked in under the wire for the Freshly Made Sketch challenge.
Hope you are having a marvelous day.
Thanks for stopping by.
