Buffalo Check Card for a SUO Challenge

Who does't love Buffalo plaid??

I made this card for the SUO Challenge#238 here.
It's a sketch or design challenge to use the Toile Tidings picture on page 6 of the Holiday Catalog.

I was inspired by the card with the Buffalo Check and the red and green.

So I used the Buffalo Check background stamp and the Merry Christmas to All stamp set.  Added some ribbon and Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel dots and it came out pretty cute!!

Papers: Garden Green, Real Red, WW
Inks: Garden Green and Real Red
Accessories: Stitched Shapes dies, Layering Ovals Dies, 3/8 inch Real Red cotton ribbon, Toile Tidings Glitter Enamel dots, Stampin dimensionals
