Seeing Tartan!

Morning all!

Can Hardly believe it's the 4th Feb already! it was mine and hubby's 4 years ago we met yesterday! hehe

Anyways I'm here this morning to let you know there's a brand new challenge at Crafty Catz, it's also a sad day too! as i've chosen to step down from Crafty Catz for personal reasons, mainly because i don't feel i can commit 100% to them at the moment i have sooooo many things to do right now I will miss the girlies tho!!!

'Tartan / Plaid'

When i first saw this challenge i was like OH MY GOD!! What am i going to do???????

Then with the help of my trusty Basic grey pad's I remembered the Jovial pad from christmas had a lovely pattern in it! So here's what i came up with!

I love cris-cross cards and don't really make enough of them! I wanted to keep my card simple to show off as much of the DP as possible! and of course i had to use my gorjuss whiff of joy city girl! i adore this stamp i think she's one of my favourite WOJ's!

Here's the card when put together...

*C/stock - Stampin' Up! Real Red & Basic Black
*DP - Basic Grey Jovial
*Flower from stash
*Sentiment - LOTV
*Stamp - Whiff Of Joy City Girl

Thanks for stopping by today and i hope to see you at the challenge!!
