Gingham again....I'm going to have to buy some more gingham paper as my supply is running low!
There is something about it that really appeals to me - and I just love it with flowers and stitching.
The image on today's card is Scabious from A Passion for Stamps and the paper is Papermania Colossal and Craft Creations gingham. This Tonic Studios Daisy Border punch always looks great when it has some stitches on it - I've used it before with "running stitch" but this time I used "blanket stitch" and I love the effect!
The flowers around the bottom of the image were made using the Tonic Studios Simplicity Geared Daisy punch....soo easy to use. And, of course, I've added my favourite
Multi Detail Butterfly which I've layered with a gingham one on top to match the paper.

Hi Ruth, this is really lovely. I have a few of your images and even though I don't blog all my cards I get lovely comments from friends and family when I use your images. Rather than buy gingham papers you can purchase digital gingham papers from Pink Petticoat which has all different colours and then print them when you need them. Thank you for all your inspiration.
