Double D Challenge

Hello, I'm back again for the new challenge at 

 

Team Diane is hosting a Gingham challenge and here's the tile board for your inspiration



Much as I love gingham, it's not something that I've used for a while - In fact I don't use many papers or ribbons anymore but I did manage to come up with a use for some of those gingham scraps I had around


Balloons... Birthday balloons tied to a little Cameo cut fence 


I did a little sponging there too and added a sweet little cat who is eyeing up those balloons


Our team all have a different creative style so please hop on over to the Blog to check out the projects - We hope you'll be inspired to join us 

Have a beautiful day

~ Ros ~

Love the gingham balloons!

Kathy Krug said...

I wish I could do clean and simple like you. Love the simple background with the balloons tied to the fence. I think the kitty is pondering is he should jump at them. Just fabulous.

Rebecca Deeprose said...

This is so very charming Ros! I love the ombre background and the whimsy that the cat silhouette adds! Hugs, Rebecca

Stella said...

I just LOVE gingham and this is right up my alley:) And that stinkin'cute cat. Made me think of Ginger :) Perfect for the challenge. I know how much you love watercolouring, colouring, painting and splatters. And you're fab with all these techniques. But you are fab with patterned papers too!

Great use of the gingham - I'd never have thought of that - it looks fresh and summer-y

Barbara said...

Oh, how cute! Your black cats always remind me of our Sophie... and the balloons are adorable.

Maria said...

Awww...wonderful card with the pretty gingham balloons and sweet black cat, Ros!!

Leslie Miller said...

You managed to make those balloons look exactly like they're blowing in the breeze! I had to stop myself from rushing right out and making gingham balloons after I first saw this, but I'm pretty sure they're on the horizon. So cute with the cat and the fence. I really love this, Ros!

The prettiest of card. Yes we go through phases of using different products don't we? Such fun looking at the cat eyeing up the balloons. Gorgeous layout and the background wood paper is so effective. Thank you for the inspiration x

Those gingham balloons are so pretty and a creative idea for the gingham too, and then you added the kitty, well 'purrrrrfect' in my opinion!!
