Design Ideas

Use this decorative base layer as the foundation for your scrapbook layouts—the scalloped edge creates a beautiful frame that adds instant elegance to your pages. Layer floral die-cuts, vintage ephemera, or stamped sentiments over the gingham background for a cohesive, romantic look. The soft pink tones coordinate perfectly with the blush pinks, sage greens, and gentle neutrals throughout the Whispers of Wisdom collection.

Try inking the edges with distress inks in soft pinks or browns to add depth and dimension, or leave it crisp for a fresh, clean aesthetic. The gingham pattern works beautifully for both vintage-inspired projects and contemporary designs—pair it with lace and pearls for shabby chic style, or keep it minimal with bold typography for a modern twist. For card making, simply trim the base layer down to your desired size whilst maintaining the beautiful scalloped border detail.
