Morning all. Time for a new challenge at Make My Monday. Let's see your projects with 'Checks or Plaids' please. I had no idea where to go with this one and the obvious place to start was my paper stash. I dug out all the checks and plaids I had to see if anything inspired me. I found a cute pink, green and a hint of blue and popped it on a card front before adding some layers of stitched squares. I wanted to us a very old rubbishy plastic 'baby' stamp that I've had forever and I coloured it to match. The problem was it looked lost on my card. I just didn't really know where to go with it. I could have coloured a baby image (I have plenty) but I wasn't in the mood. In desperation I went through my toppers box and found the absolute perfect image. I had it from the Dollar Graphics Depot years ago (they don't sell to Europe since they altered the law a while ago - something to do with tax I think). It's been sitting in that box forever. I'm not sure I could have made a better card if I'd started with the image.
So sweet and fun! I'm a huge fan of plaid (and tartan) of all kinds, and just love finding ways to weave it into my paper crafting the whole year through.
