A Plaid Affair

Back in an earlier post today, I mentioned I'd made another plaid using the same colors. It was so crooked I couldn't leave it out in the open, as I couldn't be responsible for the dizziness it might cause anyone who gazed upon it.  But I'd put so much effort into it, I didn't have the heart to toss the thing, so I needed another plan.

Here's the card I made using that second plaid, then I'll explain:

 

I like this plaid better than the first one, mostly because the charcoal line is narrower. It still grounds the plaid, but much more subtly.

Here they are, side by each, so you can see the difference:

The current Unscripted Sketches sketch was the answer to my conundrum:

The sketch gave me the perfect way to use my plaid piece and only have part of it showing. :)

Here's my card again as I've managed to blather past the fold:

I broke open my new Lil' Inker Stitched Mats Rounded Rectangles dies to cut out the sentiment, then popped it up over the plaid banner with foam tape. I couldn't decide between Pool or Charcoal for the layer, so I didn't decide, and I used both. :) Finally I broke into my SU Candy Dots collection and used the More Mustard dots. (At least I think these are More Mustard.)

I'm also entering this card into the same two color challenges as my first plaid card, since it uses the same inks:

Just Add Ink challenge:

and the Colour Me ...! challenge:

Now I'm off to link up, then go attack my UFO pile.
