Paper Secrets May 15th Challenge


This is the second challenge for May over on the Paper Secrets blog
Remember - there is a twist to the challenges! 
Here is the sketch:



And the twist to this challenge is to use bling! 
For my layout, I used 3 paper collections by 3 different manufacturers:
Simple Stories 'Summer Fresh', My Mind's Eye "Lime Twist' and Pebbles 'Let Freedom Ring'.


These papers and worked just perfectly for this sketch! I love the mix of colors in the mixed up banner. The buttons and stitching just finish the embellishment cluster off nicely.



I added little touches of stitching around the main base just to break the lines up a little. The 'smile' sentiment is a rub on.


The little touch of red bling just highlights the title a little more.



I'd love to see you joining in the challenge for your chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Paper Secrets shop. 
See you over on the Paper Secrets blog!

I am also entering this layout into:
Scrap Our Stash challenge #3 - use 3 or more patterned papers from 3 or more different collections, 
and use rub ons
SWAT drill #7 - tic tac toe (I used the left column: 3 buttons, stitching, 3 different manufacturers)

Happy scrapping :-)
