CKC Challenge #3 - A Touch of Tessellation

Over on the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, Jemma challenges us to use the ingenious art of Escher as our inspiration. He often uses a pattern (or tessellation) to create interesting patterns in his pieces.

Take a look at how I incorporated this technique in my layout:

I used a touch of tessellation in my layout today. I decided to use a series of overlapping circles to create what loosely looks like fish scales. I'm featuring my son and his role as King Triton in the Little Mermaid Jr. As I was playing around with the circles, I even found a pattern that reminded me of a fish tale shape.

PERFECT!

How will you repeat a pattern on your page?

Can't wait to see!

Be sure to share on our Linky!

Counterfeit Kit Challenge May Reveal and Blog Hop

Are you ready for another month of scrappy inspiration?

Ready or not...here we go!

Now that Lisa is leading up the Counterfeit Kit Challenge blog, we have a few changes in store for you! Don't worry...there's plenty that is going to stay the same, but we hope the few changes we make will energize your mojo for scrapping.

One of the changes is that the Master Forgers will be taking a turn each month to select the inspiration and prepare the monthly challenges. We all have varied and unique tastes in scrapping, so this should give you a great selection of different kinds of kits and projects. This month, Jemma made the selection. Let's take a look!

UK based, "Quirky Kits" is in the spotlight this month with a fun selection of supplies to get the scrappy party started. There's an add-on and embellishment kit, too, so you will want to head over to see all of your inspiration.

Here's my take...

I followed the inspiration pretty closely with the bokeh papers and black and white stripes. Some black ribbon and gold ric-rac carry the same vibe.

No black and white striped letters in my stash, but the black and white polka dots should work. I may have to be creative with my titles as there aren't many left. Some gold star vellum will add the much needed feminine bling for my dress, while the turquoise houndstooth paper brings in a subtle masculine touch.

Off to powder my nose and check out what's in my hot pink clutch...

Here are some fancier flair badges and some enamel dots to finish off a layout and my dress! With a sprinkling of wood veneer stars and we'll be good to go!
