my gingham on! Yesterday's card for the Moxie World gingham challenge and the Card Patterns Sketch were so enjoyable that I decided to use some more gingham papers that I hadn't put away yet and try to make a card that fit both challenges again.. I needed to make a card for my daughter's birthday and she loves bright, fun colors.....specifically, oranges paired with pinks, reds and yellows. So, I thought coloring up some gingham might be just the way to go. I also used the Card Patterns Sketch 164 again. I used it as a jumping off point and turned it on it's side and dropped the border and center down. I am not sure if that still counts but it truly was a the sketch that I started with! I also plan on entering this card into the Hero Arts Monthly Contest....obvs for Birthdays! So, away we go.....
For the
Moxie Fab World Card Creations Week: The Gingham Challenge:
And last but NOT LEAST!!!!!! Here is my card! I stamped and embossed the HA flowersand leaves on gingham paper and the colored them a bit with Prismacolor pencils. I used a Spellbinder embossibilities folder and voila!
I hope that you all are enjoying your day! I hope to leave soon for a long walk and then later to my son's track meet. And much later tonight my husband will be home from a somewhat longish trip to China....so today should be a pretty fabie day!
Be well,
Sheila

Just saw your card on Flickr and hopped over here. I love the ginghams - especially the embossing and shading that you did on them! Haven't seen that embossing folder either and will have to put that on my list.
This is a fabulous card for all of the challenges you mentioned, Sheila! I love the embossed flowers and the embossing folder you used is so nice!
