REPEAT PATTERN STACK CHALLENGE

CHALLENGE

REPEAT PATTERN STACK

I decided to revisit The Rainbow Elephant website lately as I had not done a repeat pattern stack for ages and I love to do them. If you have not done one or seen Cindy's site it is well worth looking at. 

Here is the link to her article and video on how to do a Repeat Pattern Stack - http://www.rainbowelephant.com/repeat-pattern-stacks/

Instead of a Celtic Challenge or an online ATC Swap I decided to issue you with a Repeat Pattern Stack Challenge this time, and you have 4 weeks to do it, as I am very busy at present and am limited for time to issue challenges. 

My challenge to you is to pick a recognisable shape or shapes and use them to create your stack. Something from nature would be great. Also you can colour and doodle them to decorate. 

Here are three I did recently:


This is a leaf stack. If you look closely most of the leaves look almost the same. I used a stencil here to create my leaves and little gumnuts.


This Shell Stack or Underwater Stack was also created with shell and fish stencils.

My Heart Stack I drew myself.

You have the choice to post them on the Mr Linky below or email them to me and I will post them below this article. If you email them to me expect that people may copy them from my site like they do with the ATC Swap.

If you wish to email your Stacks to me send them to this email address: atcswapwithjudy@gmail.com

Celtic Challenge32

Celtic Challenge 32

I got an amazing response for the last challenge. There was some very beautiful work.

This fortnight I have drawn a celtic outline for you to put a new pattern in. I have made the outline a four step process. If anyone wants a three or five step outline just let me know and I will add it to this post for you to copy.

My challenge to you is to design your own pattern and draw the steps inside the squares. 
Next decorate the outline to the squares, either by colour, doodles or both.

Below is the one I have done and my pattern is called
"Floral Wallpaper"

ATC Online Swap 5

ATC Online Swap 5

I have decided to add some colour to this swap and request two types of doodle patterns.

Firstly draw 3 random lines across your ATC.


Colour each space with a different colour.
Decorate each line with a doodle. If you do not know any doodle patterns for lines check out my Border and Edge Patterns Page.


Once you have completed this task then decorate the remaining spaces with doodles.

Uuna called this ATC "Good Morning"


Uuna call this ATC "Good Night"

Uuna stated in her email that she started to follow the instructions above but her hand went on its own way, and that she hopes that is OK.

It is OK with me. If my blog starts you drawing something, I don't mind where your hand takes you.
