Challenge the stripes and the bright (neon) colours
Over at ARTa stic Challenge Blog their current challenge inspiration is this photo with the criteria -striped patterned paper and bright cheerful colours. My layout was inspired by the stripes in the deck chair on the poster. I have used striped paper from a Project Life range called Sunshine (also appropriate don't you think for the poster). In a moment of creativity I realized I had a pot of fine glitter somewhere in my stash. Off I went to find it. I ran lengths of double sided tape in 2 sizes (mimicking) that deckchair horizontally and vertically onto striped paper and then on removing top tape I liberally applied the glitter. Result - glitter all over the place - oh well, who does not like a bit of bling. I have also made my own brads and circle embellishments from the off cuts of the "blingy bits" another inspired moment - I remembered I had the fixings for the brads again somewhere in that great stash in the hope that one day I will use it!!...
