Garden in Bloom, with Work of Art plaid

 

Are you wondering how I made the plaid background here?  It's from the Work of Art stamp set!  See the straight-ish line stamp at the bottom of this picture?  That's what I used.

 

Stamp that line stamp across the card stock at an angle.  Then turn your paper, and go back again to get the criss-cross plaid look.  Very easy!  This Work of Art set has been so useful, and I'm sad to see it retire.

I used two retiring In Colors on this card - Sweet Sugarplum and Peekaboo Peach.  I paired them with Lemon Lime Twist, and I like it!

Tip for making this card - stamp the greeting FIRST.  That way, you can place your flowers around it, and not cut any of your letters off.  I barely squeaked by on this one.
