I saw the technique of using a stripe stencil to create a gingham background in a video by Gina K so this is my take on it. I used Masking Magic to mask off the oval outline – and one of Gina’s sentiments makes it ideal for this week’s Just Add Ink challenge … masking and friend. It’s also perfect for the Less Is More friendship challenge and the Cardz 4 Galz shades of blue challenge.

Lovely masking for a wonderful clean and simple card. Thank you for sharing this week at Just Add Ink!
Love the gingham behind the stamped image – very effective. Thank you for joining us at Cardz 4 Galz xx Lynda/Loopyloo
