Gingham makes me happy! And a Award too!!

One of the challenges this week was for a "Joy fold" card. I happen to really like this technique. So I made this birthday card with a new Emerson, stamp I just got. I love these stamps. I am not an artist, not even close. So with these stamps you can do very little coloring, or a bit more, whatever you want and the images are cute either way. I didn't use my cricut at all, but I did use  an EK punch. I'll list the challenges at the end of my post as I usually do.  The paper was DCWV and Bazzill.

See isn't this a cute stamp?? I actually colored it more than I usually do. I like this punch too. It looks like lace to me.  The next picture will be the inside of the card.

The butterflies I cut from a piece of pattern paper that I had in my stash. I have no idea where it came from. 

I added the red mat to have a place to write a message. I hope you like it:)))
