When I finished Day 2 of Pattern Play last night, it was too late to start my homework, so I've been a busy little bee this afternoon, catching up so that I don't get detention at the end of the week.
I used a piece of blue gingham paper and resist-embossed the floral background stamp with Versamark, then covered it in Memento Danube Blue ink. I blotted the excess off with a tissue then I ironed out the embossing.
The yellow flower is also a gingham pattern, which you can just about make out. I've used the colour scheme from this week's ColourQ:
