GLG!!! (Gotta Love Gingham) Challenge

I'm so excited about today's post! My friend Tammy Hershberger asked me if I would be interested in doing a blog challenge with her. Are you kidding??? Of course I was interested!! We decided to make it a GLG (Gotta Love Gingham) challenge since her obsession happens to be as big as mine :) The object: get as much gingham on a card as you can without making it tacky. Hum...well this card is LOADED with gingham but I'm leaving the tack-o-meter up to you, what do you think??I kept the colors fairly simple because I didn't want too many distractions. The gingham papers are from The Paper Studio (I get them at Hobby Lobby). I paper pieced one of my favorite images from H&M Stamps with the gingham too, the rest of her was colored with copic markers. Once I got the card assembled it felt christmasy too me so I went with it. The sentiment is from SU's Short and Sweet. I debated on the gingham ribbon because I was afraid it would be too much but I like it.
No run on over to Tammy's blog to see her card {HERE}!
Let me know if you get inspired by gingham!! I would love to see what you make.
Thanks for stopping by!
