time to play along with current moxie fab world challenge - the mixy-matchy style challenge. i mixed 3 patterns for my chevron die-cut design - yellow grid, black & white plus signs, & the rainbow chevron. the rainbow chevron paper actually just looks like stripes once die-cut. after i put all the pieces together the final design did not really end up looking like i had mixed several unexpteced patterns together - so i think i'm going to try again tomorrow.
