I played around with the argyle pattern, substituting black 3/4" squares, made using my 3/4" square punch, for the grey ones. I decided that the black was just too harsh as part of the pattern and would work better as the accent.
I positioned the squares on the 3.25"x12" textured Whisper White base (scored at 6"), and decided to split open the argyle to insert the greeting. The greeting is from the Hostess Set Happiest Birthday Wishes. This set really should carry over to the next catalog; sadly, that is something SU! never does.
The card comes together very quickly and you can decide if you want to add the faux stitching around each square. I ended up doing it around the interior blocks as well, but I like it just as well without any at all.
