Double D Challenge: Pick a Pattern

Oh, my goodness, it's time for another Double D Challenge!  Darlene has chosen a good one for us this time:  "Pick a Pattern".  I'll show you my card and explain in a minute.




Naturally, the sentiment is going to play an important role, but the card design is all about the pattern.

Pictured below are the patterns to pick from.  Don't worry, it doesn't have to be an exact match.  Just let yourself be inspired, as long as the pattern is prominently featured in your project.




Random winner prize is a paper pad of patterns galore:




I have so many designer papers I could have used for any of those patterns, but I focused on the pretty blue bowls and made an ink-blended and stamped background.  The stamps I used are from a Stampendous Laurel Burch set called Fish Wishes.  I probably never would have thought of this card if it hadn't been for the challenge, but I like how it turned out and you know I've been feeling a lot of love for clean and simple lately.




Wait till you see the team samples.  Inspired and inspiring!  So, pick a pattern and play along.  I hope to see you in the gallery!



Stamps:  Stampendous Fish Wishes by Laurel Burch  Paper:  SU Whisper White  Ink:  SU Brilliant Blue and Bashful Blue, Memento Tuxedo Black  Accessories:  Silver cord, Scotch brand foam mounting tape, Beauty Kate makeup blending brushes  Dies: Tutti Designs Stitched Nesting Hearts, Taylored Expressions Stitched Rectangle Stacklets

    oooooooh! LOVE your take of the pattern challenge, Leslie, and that fabulous ombre effect including the background and the stamps in the background. The double heart is a fabulous design idea, and the sentiment could not be more endearing. It's a wonderful creation! hugs, de

    Leslie, you nailed this challenge. Love everything - the monochromatic blue, your double hearts and the way you displayed them, all wrapped up in silver twine! Beautiful! Just back home from being away 3 days for work. So nice to be home! Enjoy your day!

    So sweet, that sentiment is great and I love the pattern you picked, the blue really stood out to me in the inspiration panel and I love how you have softened the pattern as it went down the card, like how you have angled the sentiment and framing!
