January Fashion Findings Challenge - *WINNERS*

[blbabe1234]

Happy New Year everyone!

What's in fashion for January 2014? Scarves! And not just any kind of scarves, but ones with a unique twist - like polka dots and glittery borders and sequins and ribbon!



So far my challenge, if you choose to accept it, is to create a layout or card or project with layers (at least 3) and using at least one of the above scarves for your inspiration.

You can choose to layer your papers/embellies and use

• polka dots somewhere (think paper or stamps or washi tape)
  
• Or add a glittery border
  
• Or use sequins (whether its a line like the above example or a sprinkle of sequins)
  
• or decorate your project using ribbon or washi tape
  
• use a color blocking technique

Please let me know which scarf inspired you to do your project and if you use more than one, you'll get a bonus entry!

You may combine this challenge with another one. However, you may only enter ONCE because you're getting a chance for a bonus entry if you combine scarves.

I have not done my example layout just yet, but will hopefully have it ready by tomorrow.

Finally! My example!!



I chose some polka dot patterns in my paper, with using ribbon as well. I am also combining it with the Technique Challenge (border punch and stitching)

Please place your project in the gallery folder that I have created or you can place it here.

Due February 2nd at 11:59PM. Open to all - paper, digi, hybrid, crafts and cards.


If you have any questions, just ask! And remember, have fun!
