This is for SC 131, as well as Color Challenge #2 :-)
I am working my way through the entire color challenge list, combining with other challenges.
I like how this turned out...except I wanted the plaid panel to be larger. I have a hard time getting BG stamps to go on evenly, so a sizable portion was faded. I just compensated with a larger red panel. I also used the ladybugs in red to border the inside top and bottom

I know what you mean about the BG stamps. Here's what I do: I ink the entire stamp, then leave it rubber side up and place my cardstock on top. I place a larger scrap over it and the rub the paper until I feel I will have enough coverage. I love my BG stamps, but they can be awkward to handle. Nice job on the card!

I've had the same problem with my BG stamps and know how frustrating it can be! I thought it was intentional that you just used a strip of plaid. Really like how this looks!
I love the RED! The ladybugs are really sweet. Neat how you are working your way through the colour challenge. When I get some more SU Cardstock I think I will try it.

I love the ladybugs and the plaid.

Cute! I always lay my b/g stamps rubber side up and ink them well. Then I lay my cardstock on top of the rubber and while carefully holding it still, I rub it all over making sure to get it all inked. It's SO much easier than trying to stamp the other way!!
