Off The Rails Challenge May

Hi again,

 

Today I want to share with you the latest challenge over at Off The Rails Scrapbooking - it's all about Stripes and Polka Dots!  Who doesn't love some good pattern work.  Be sure to head over and check out all the inspiration from the DT girls - they have provided ample eye candy for you all!!

 

Here is my sample, and some close ups:

 

I'm really loving punchinella at the moment, and I used it as a stencil with inks for a polka dot effect, as well as an embellishment under my photo.

 



 

I also used some polka dot fabric covered buttons from the Catie's Craft Corner shop.

 

As for stripes, you can see here, I've used a stamp to create some grungy lines on various areas of the page.

 

... plus some zebra stripes on the button below ;)

 

I hope you will give this challenge a go - it's great to step outside the square and combine patterns every now and then!

 

 

Thanks for looking. Warmest wishes, Catie xo
