I loved this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge: orange, red, maroon, and gold. The Double D Challenge is looking for Fall Plaids, and this fits that challenge as well.
Pinkfresh Studio’s Dainty Plaid and stencil were laying on my desk so I decided to see if I could use these colors for a card. 
To use the stencils properly, you’d use six different inks, but I experimented and came up with a plaid using just three inks: Papertrey’s Orange Zest, Pure Poppy and Scarlet Jewel. I gold embossed the plaid and used a preprinted gold sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio.
I’ve totally depleted my stash of Thinking of You cards which, sadly, are the cards I seem to need most often. This is the third card I’ve created this week, but I still need a few more.
It’s not often I post twice in a day, but the Color Throwdown Challenge closes tomorrow, and I don’t want to count on remembering to get it up in the morning.
Love the plaid background!! I have this stencil and haven’t tried it yet…. you are encouraging me to try!! So happy you joined us at CTD!!

WOW! Your fall plaid is so gorgeous and is an awesome way to use the throwdown colors! So glad you joined us in the challenge!
Very nice card. The colours & plaid convey that cozy feeling of “thinking of you”.
Oh wow, that gold embossing really makes that plaid POP. This is stunning, I love your choice of colors. Beautifully done, and lots of wonderful work here. Thanks so much for playing along with us over at Double D, hope we see you back again soon!!
