Guest Designer Colour Me...! Playful CMCC#64





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
