Gingham Thanks--#tgifc213

This week's product spotlight challenge at TGIF Challenges is Gingham Gala designer series paper.  I've used this paper many different ways, so I wanted to try something a bit different for me.  I decided to stamp directly on the paper:

I took a piece of the Daffodil Delight small square gingham paper and stamped the "thanks" image from the Floral Statements stamp set in Mossy Meadow.  I colored the leaves with an Old Olive Light and the roses with Mango Melody Light and Dark Stampin' Blends.  I love that you can still see the gingham pattern through the Mossy Meadow  letters.

I am going to miss stamping with the retiring Floral Statements stamp set.  The gingham paper and the Old Olive linen thread I tied in a bow at the top of the card are also retiring favorites.  But saying goodbye to old favorites makes room for new ones!

You'll get plenty of inspiration to use up your Gingham Gala designer series paper over at the TGIF Challenges blog here.
