Cheery Gingham Gala Card

Today I'm sharing the card we are making at my table at Rose Hill Stamp Camp.  And it has no butterflies!!!  It does use the same Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper that I used on my last card.

Thanks to Bonnie O'Neill (bonniestamped.com) for this basic card design.  I didn't use the same stamp set as Bonnie, but I loved the bright and cheery look of the gingham, the organdy ribbon, and the simple flowers.

Below are the three color options the stampers were given for making their cards at stamp camp, and below that is a photo of the instruction board I had on the table to help the stampers assemble their cards.  (Click on any of the photos for a closer look.)
