weekly challenge | Ashley Cannon Newell & Nicole Samuels

How about a fun pattern challenge this week?  We're going wild and crazy and asking your to combine two bold patterns: chevron and stripes!  You can decide how much of each to use and the colors, scale, etc., but we want to see your ideas for scrapping with these two rather hip patterns.  

From Ashley:

Mixing patterns is such a trend in the fashion world and how appropriate are the patterns found in the papers in Studio Calico kits?! I just had to throw in lots of color and combine a chevron print with stripes to come up with a fun and interesting birthday card. This card will surely make a birthday girl/boy smile with glee!

(supplies - patterned paper : Fitzgerald add-on kit ; stamps: Fitzgerald add-on kit; shipping tag : Marks & Co card kit ; other : My Mind's Eye enamel dots) 

Don't forget the sprinkles and don't be afraid to mix up some patterns, like chevron and stripes!

From Nicole: 

I used chevron and stripes both in a more muted color palette and on varying scales (a smaller chevron with a medium size stripe) which helps them work well together.  For a more challenging "challenge", try going with bolder colors and larger scale patterns and see what you can come up with!

Supplies:  patterned paper and embellishments: Marks & Co scrapbooking kit, Marks & Co Project Life kit, Salinger add-on kit, Woolf add-on kit; cut file: Kal Barteski Love; die cutting machine: Silhouette Cameo; other: floss

To play along, just create a project with chevron and stripes and upload it in the SC gallery.  Link up your project here in this post by August 12th to be entered to win a $5 GC to the Studio Calico Shop!
