Houndstooth

Today I really fancied using one of the bold and quite 'hard edged' stamps that I usually steer clear of. I finally settled on the houndstooth design found on stamping plate BM 322. I think traditionally the houndstooth pattern is black and white but I decided to switch it up a little and used black and silver.

I used W7 black as the base and Barry M Silver Foil for the stamping. I have to say the results are quite eye catching and I found it hard to tell which was the base colour and which was the stamp colour.

Do you think I could make this a bit more my usual girly style by using softer colours? Maybe a white base and a nice bright pink stamp? One for the 'to do' list I think :-).
