Today's challenge is all about Gingham. But you won't be surprised, I'm sure, that this is not a simple challenge. Create a piece of clothing with gingham as the pattern. You can stamp it, print a digital image, hand-draw it, or whatever you wish to do.
No, Pam, I'm not surprised. LOL
It's 2:00 am... I was in bed, but I couldn't sleep. Work stress, life stress, card ideas... swimming in my head as I lie wide awake. I thought I might as well get up and get something accomplished! Dishes, dusting, laundry all need doing, or I could log on remotely to my work computer and get a head start on my day tomorrow.... nah... paper and glue... craft room calling...
Yeah, I'm no Betty Crocker, that's for sure... and my card today kind of reflects my personal views on domesticity: "Know what I'm making for dinner tonight?"
The inside reads "Reservations!"
Cardstock - Bazzill; Design Papers - Paper Studio "Hot Pink Gingham" & American Crafts; Pearl Earring - Kaiser Craft; Shiny Belt - Sharpie & CTMH Liquid Glass; Image - clip art; Sentiment - Computer Generated (Magneto font - free download);
Hope y'all have a GREAT day!
Blessings,
