Meade Girls/ Sweet Dreamer's Challenge #3- All About the Grid

The Sweet Dreamer's Blog Group on SCS and the Meade Girls, my local stamping group had a challenge to use a grid somewhere on their card. It could be plaid or checked patterned paper, a crossword puzzle, a Harlequin background stamp or whatever else you could come up with that was considered a grid. This is my card for the grid challenge.

I used the Birthday Henry stamp from Whiff of Joy and stamped it onto SU's Very Vanilla CS using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The image is colored using Copic Markers and I patted on a little Pretty in Pink ink on his cheek and ears. The card base is SU's Old Olive, with a layer of Pretty in Pink. The block design patterned paper is some I received in a blog candy that I recently won, so I'm not sure who makes it. I also used olive green Bazzill self-stick gems in two of the corners, and SU's Old Olive narrow twill ribbon. It's a simple card, but it's kinda cute. I'll probably use this for my MIL's birthday coming up in a couple of weeks.

Sorry for the crooked scan...I tried 3 times and still couldn't get it straight. I hope everyone has a great week and that you get lots of time to stamp!!!
