For this month, I found this image on Pinterest



I love how nails are becoming a work of ART now! Just check out these colors and the patterns. Floral. Chevrons. Polka dot.

So for this challenge, I want you to use this image to INSPIRE you!  You must use the 3 patterns I menioned. The floral print, the chevrons and polka dots. And you can use these patterns in so many ways too. Washi tape, pattern papers, stencils, etc.

Here is my example:




The floral pattern paper I used from Fancy Pants "Collecting Memories" was almost a perfect match with that nail! Then you've got the polka dot border sticker and the chevron die cuts.

And now the rules!

1. Please post here with your work
2. All is welcome! Paper, digi, card-making, projects, whatever floats your boat!
3. You may combine with any other July or August Challenge, all Becky Fleck sketches, all Creation A Day Challenges, and Kill a Kit Challenge, as well as Get 'er done challenge.
4. Due Aug 18th
5. One lucky random winner will receive a $5 ACOT gc from me!
6. For a BONUS entry! Use the following Sketch N Scrap sketch:

(And if you use the sketch, head over to Sketch n Scrap's blog to participate in the fun!
FYI: the blog is using this sketch until July 31st)

7. Multiple submissions are okay

Any questions - just ask!

Love this challenge and awesome sketch. Your layout is so pretty, Brandy!

That sketch is awesome!!!! And I love your photos, what a face, LOL! Great things to use as well, I look forward to doing this!

Here's my entry! 



I've got the pink, navy, and yellow color combo, and I have used chevrons, polka dots, and florals. I'm also using this as my entry for the July Guest Designer ch. #1.

I just found this challenge!! Was it hiding? I hope to get to it soon!

Can't wait to see what you do with the prompt Joannie!

Here's my entry....Polka Dots (patterned paper) ~ Chevrons (Multi color stickers) ~ Floral Pattern (Globe sticker)

Just found this challenge. Do we have to use the same colors?

Omgoodness this is gorgeous! I just love those papers and the design is fabulous! Thank you so much for doing my challenge!

No..colors do not matter. You just have to use floral prints, chevrons, and polka dots somewhere/somehow on your project.

This was a challenge as flowers and the color pink are not within my comfort zone. 
However, I have used the colors from the nails and all three designs (flowers, chevron, and polka dots)

 

Great challenge, Brandy! I already had the polka dots and floral and realized if I worked chevron into this, it would meet the challenge LOL! This is also for the Becky Fleck #100 and a kill a kit project.

Adorable! Perfect title and love the colors. Thank you so much for doing my challenge!

Here's my layout.  I used polka dot papers from MME and BoBunny, flower paper from MME and wood chevrons that I inked with Tim Holtz distress ink.  I also based my layout on the sketch for an extra entry.  Great sketch Brandy.  Saving to use again.

Wow Sandi! Wonderful job! Really love the mix of florals and polka dots and the chevrons. Excellent take on the sketch. Thank you so much for doing my challenge!

Here is my submission!



Sorry it's so blurry. There are patterns all over, including floral, chevrons, and polka dots. There also are similar colors to the inspiration pic- pink, line green, white, black.
