Checkerboard Flowers

 When I checked the challenge this morning on 365 Cards, it was to create a checkerboard background. As I made lunches for my two sons, my mind immediately thought of my scor-pal to make the lines.

I don’t have any really tiny stamps that I could use in the squares, so I went with my Primas. I alternated colored pearls in the centers. I used my Fiskar’s decorative scissors in the Imperial pattern to cut the edges of the card. The tiny sentiment is from a set of self-inking stamps. That’s it, CAS - clean and simple or my initials if you paid attention to my monogrammed card the other day :)

Happy Hump Day!
