This is a card I rustled up using one of the stamps from the soon to be finishing Spring Mini catalogue. I used a fab gingham technique for the background, which I got from Natasha at Two Crafty Girls via Pinterest. It is really easy to do (albeit a little bit messy cleaning the brayer afterwards), but looks stunning I hope you agree!

I have inked separately parts of the Now You're Cookin' stamp and used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to line the images up.

There is also a fab offer on during April: if you place an order for £45 or more you can choose from one of 4 sets of Designer Series Paper for free!
Unfortunately it wasn't really barbecue weather here in the UK this weekend - macs, wellies & umbrellas were the order of the day in order to survive the weather! Despite all the rain at the moment, it's still officially a drought where I live!
A la prochaine! Amitiés!

Hi Nicole - I absolutely LOVE gingham papers, and also have a Wendy Vecchi gingham background stamp, which I use a lot. The technique you used on your card is fabulous, and looks so realistic. Great work, and thank you for sharing the link.
