...today's Plaid of the day!!!! Ta dah!



So, maybe you fancy a smaller, more intimate scale of plaid than the samples i showed you on Monday?

No, problem, simply use the SAME STAMP to create dainty little checks and stripes like these - it's all about how you use the stamp.

Ink the stamp with a pale colour on the wider band and a dark colour on the narrow band and stamp. Ink up again and this time make sure the darker, narrow band stamps on top of the wider, paler band you just stamped!! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!! And what fun!!

I used distress ink, Antique Linen - as I like the soft effect and a versacolour burgundy.

I have a real dinky wee project in line for this plaid, hopefully have it here tonight or tomorrow!!

If you are new here and this post doesn't make any sense, scroll down to check out yesterdays post!!!

Hope it tickles!!

  9. Oh gosh!!! Another fabulous set that I simply MUST have. I adore plaid and I much prefer making my own backgrounds rather than purchasing printed paper.

  11. Seriously, this is so cool I can hardly stand it! When I was in the 5th grade my mom made me 5 different plaid skirts to start out the school year -- these plaids so take me back to those days when I felt so special with all my plaid skirts.
