Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you on the blog today.
This week is starting off with our "Gingham" challenge
using the photo below for inspiration,
you need to have "gingham" somewhere on your project!
I remember as a child how popular gingham was..
I even had my bedroom decorated with gingham....
we had to make a "gingham" apron in Home Economics" at school...
so you might say I have always been a "gingham" girl~~
Impression Obsession has a nice line of "cover a card" stamps....
I am using Gingham Cover A Card,
just think with this stamp you can have any color of gingham you want...
these stamps are wonderful as they stamp big and you can choose
to use the entire image or just a fraction of it.....
I chose to use the entire stamp with a red ink....
Don't you just love red gingham??
I used Mega Mount to mount my Cover A Card stamp on...
this is a very large acrylic block that fits the stamps perfectly!
I cut four of the Cottage Cutz Fancy Floral Butterfly Corners
and positioned them around my card to make a "frame"
A little tip in using the intricate dies is to place a piece of wax paper
over your die, then your paper on top of that before cutting, it makes for a much easier release....
To help get all those little pieces out of your cut piece, there is a wonderful new tool
by Spellbinders called Tool 'n One
For the center of my frame, I stamped JustRite Hello Daisy with Versamark,
first running the Anti-Static Bag over my card stock
them embossed with Sparkle 'n Sprinkle Black Fine Embossing Powder
Using Spellbinders Floral Ovals, I positioned it over my stamped image and die cut it.
To finish my card, I added Red Pearls to each corner, a gingham bow and button.
Join our challenge with us, there is always a nice prize to win with 7 or more entrants....
Tell your friends to join in too, the more the merrier!!
