Well, this card is going gingham all the way! I chose the red gingham from Gina K for this card. What else goes with red and gingham.....Apples! Yes you guessed it, I stamped apples, from Marcella Hawley. So, to make this a little different, I stamped the image on the front, and on the inside using a
stamp-a-ma-jig. That way when I used a die, to cut the window, you would see the image exactly the same. I did not color the image, but in the inside one, I used Wink of Stella clear on the leaves and red on the apples. I real life, it looks great. I decided that the front needed a border and made one with black and the larger and smaller die. A gingham bow and flowers were added to the bottom left of the window. An idea that popped into my head at 5:30 am before I got up today!
So when you open it up, you can see the Birthday Greeting, from Simon Says Birthday messages.
And, of course, just a little more gingham.

Thanks for dropping gingham! Tehee!
Oh that is FABULOUS! Such a beautiful technique! Loving those little gingham flowers too, well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool card. Love the open window you created which has the blossoms and the apple peeking through. That is the perfect gingham to use with them. Cute mini flowers.
