I’m loving patterns and shapes right now
Triangles
Circles
Stipes
Hexagons
Polka dots
Chevron

I’ve never really been “into” shapes or patterns until now
I’ve always taken them for granted I guess and I might just blame Pinterest for my new found love.
So many inspiring photos of design ideas, ideas on how to use shapes and so many patterns it can make your eyes bleed!!
Looking at all the shapes and patterns inspired me to have a go at adding shapes and patterns to my layout

My challenge for you is to be inspired by the this cool cushion

and how it uses shapes and patterns within the shapes. And that is your challenge, create a layout using a shape/pattern inside a shape.

You have until April 24 to create a layout inspired by the challenge and upload to the gallery or your blog. Leave a comment with a link to your layout to be entered. If you are posting to your blog, make sure the link is to the specific post that contains your entry.  Can’t wait to see what the challenge inspires you to create.

The winner, as picked by the design team, will be announced on the 28th and will receive a $10 voucher to the Cocoa Daisy store.
Entry is open to anyone and you don’t need to use a Cocoa Daisy kit to enter, just have fun, be inspired and create!

I have really been inspired lately by the soothing color palette of light teals, greys, greens, corals, pinks and creams.

+ I love the colors and texture in this photo of butterflies:

 + The sketching in the drawing of these feathers:

+ This Mason jar chandelier:

BootsNGus

+ This Nicole Miller top:

+ And these gorgeous dresses and wedding flowers:

What color combo is inspiring you lately?

Inspiration Tuesday- Honeycomb

Do you ever have those times when you open your kit or go thru your stash and get out paper that you love but you just don’t know what to do with the pattern on that paper? Well for me that pattern I love and think looks so cool but I get itchy trying to figure out what to do with it is Honeycomb. What?? I know it’s the trend right now and so hot but I get stumped. So what do I do when I get stumped? Head for Etsy(some go to Pintrest others go to Etsy). What happens when you type Honeycomb into the search on Etsy? You get 82 pages of inspiration. Here are a few things that caught my eye and inspired me to create with the honeycomb pattern.
Have you been inspired to pull out those Honeycomb patterns? Do you have ideas swirling around of how you could use the April stamps(if you don’t have a subscription yet you can find the details HERE cause you’re going to want them!)?  So next tme you’re stumped with a pattern take a stroll thru the Etsy pages and be inspired! ~Mandy
