Hello and happy Wednesday. I'm here for my fourth and last post as a Guest Designer for Colour Me...! The month of March has really flown by.
This week, I decided to use the colors to make a plaid pattern. Stamping a plaid pattern is a fun and easy way to combine colors. I stamped my pattern on a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 piece of card stock so I would have enough of the pattern to have a full strip on the side of my card and enough to show behind whatever I ended up die cutting out of my front panel.
There are a lot of good videos on how to stamp a plaid pattern. Here is a link to a Make it Monday video by Ashley Cannon Newell. I used Waltzingmouse Offbeat Backgrounds to stamp my plaid, but you could use any striped stamp.
I hope you will play along with Colour Me...! this week.
Thanks for Visiting
