Ok, so I nearly missed it, it's about 11.30pm where I am, lol, but I think it's probably earlier where you are!! What have you been up to for World card making day?? I made curtains today! We're still decorating a bedroom for my big girl...5 weeks later...lol, but there was a release in the middle of it all! Anyhow...
I can't seem to get away from the navy and ginger colour combo... lol, but I like it.
Anyhow, I ran out of time to show you this wee saltbox house image during the build up to the release and I've been itching to stamp it!! It's from the Blessed by You set that released earlier in the week - scroll down if you missed it.
I absolutely adore wee houses and had wanted a saltbox house stamp for ages, (I was a quilter...).
I made a background by singthe Plaid-maker stamp from Off Beat Backgrounds and also the stitched border - stamped in blue. I like how these two work together, giving you yet another option for plaid!!!
A simple sentiment from Blessed by You and a couple of buttons makes for a very simple wee card. I added interest by tracing around a plate to get the curve, cut with scissors, I didn't need to be too fussy since I was going to distress the edges anyway...
hope it tickles!
Love your card....it is perfect!!!
