Hey, blogger friends! Happy to see you back again.
Time for a new Double D Challenge...
Time for a new Double D Challenge...
Did you see my post title..."Gingham Style"? I just couldn't resist...makes me think of that catchy little tune years ago, Gangnam Style. And, it remains a constant, just like gingham, a timeless print for the ages. Gingham brings back memories of fun, childhood days gone by but also subtle prints on a few clothing items I had as an adult.
This brings me to the theme of our second challenge this month..."Gingham".
Team Darlene is hosting along with more inspiration from Team Diane. Once again, we are offering this fun mood board to get your mojo going...
The Design Team will choose 3 Creative Winners and a Top Creative Winner. There will also be a winner, chosen by random draw, for the prize below.
My first card is a bit shabby chic with a touch of vintage. Created in my standard square size, I embellished with glass beads that look like the raspberries in the patterned paper, a few leaves and a lovely satin bow!
Next up is this fun pinwheel card! It's another square one with some of my favorite colors and makes me think of summer time. This card doesn't require much embellishing...a button center for the pinwheel and two tags, one with a sentiment included!

Two amazing inspirations, great designs!! Love the berries on the first one, and that pin-wheel is a true catch-eyes!
Two great cards Vicki, love them both but the pin wheel is amazing.x
Both cards are gorgeous from vintage elegance to fun and playful!! I couldn't choose a favorite if I had to! I love gingham too and yes it does bring back memories of my childhood, especially of a gingham apron I had to make in High School...but I still love it to this day!
Showoff!!! lol These are both so beautiful is such different ways! WOW! Love the design of that 1st one, the scalloped cropped circle looks AHmazing used like that--so clever and creative, as are your glass beaded raspberries--so FUN! That 2nd card is just sooooo HAPPY! Love the prints and the pinwheel design! Over The Top Fabulous....both of them!!!
LOL ... had to chuckle at Donna's first comment! LOL
Anyways, your cards are just FABULOUS! So different and both just awesome! Thanks for showing how versatile a gingham print can be! WELL DONE my friend!!
Not one, but two fabulous cards! Such gorgeous papers on both. I love all my Mintay papers, but Farm Life might be my favorite. I have some older paper similar to your first card, too. It's sooooo gorgeous! Those bead berries are a perfect match! Clever you to make a pinwheel! Looks like you had some fun with this challenge, Vicki! Wonderful!
Amazing creations! I love gingham and the pinwheel design is fabulous!
Many thanks for joining us at Cute Card Thursday this week for our Challenge!

Oh Wow, Vicki --- you've created two gorgeous cards! I just love the paper combo on teh 1st one withe those glass bead berries, and the bright fun colors of the second one. Amazing!
WOW!!!! You are really showing off your versatility with these cards.The elegance of the first card is beautiful and the different papers and how you used them are so much fun. The pinwheel is such a fun idea.

What fun! Love that pinwheel! And sure - gingham never goes out of style - a true classic! Thank you so much for linking up with us at the Card of the Month Card Club!
Very nice card! Love the gingham Thanks for joining us at Craftycreationschallenges.blogspot.com
Oh, how beautiful! I really love how you "grunged" up the gingham here. It really adds to the versatility to a print that can also be very fresh. Thank you for playing with us at the Sisterhood of Crafters challenge and hope you can join us again soon.
You've done an amazing job with gingham on both beautiful cards! I just love the vintage style with those glass beads and leaves and pretty bow, and the pinwheel is beautifully done too! I remember that silly song too and enjoyed hearing it in my mind once again :)
Love the fresh and bright colors of your pinwheel card! - so beautiful with the gingham! Thank you so much for joining us at our Day of the Month Card Club Challenge.
Have a happy day!
