There happened to be a "plaid or check" challenge at The Paper Players this week and that heavily influenced my card. I tend to think of "check" as a spring-time design (like gingham) and plaid as something I would use for Christmas. I fully intended to make a Christmas card but changed my mind when I saw the CASE the designer challenge at Global Design Project and had a look at my stash of patterned paper.
Turns out I didn't have one single plaid design in Christmas colors (something I will surely remedy!) but I did find this plaid in one of the colors of the inspiration at Global Design Project. From there I incorporated some of the other colors and I capped off my design with a beautiful butterfly.
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have made some amazing designs with my sketch so I am sure you will be inspired to play along with us!
Supplies
Paper: Solar White (Neenah); Harvest Gold (Papertrey Ink); Basic Black, Vellum (Stampin' Up!); Perfectly Plaid Rainbow (Lawn Fawn)
