Stamp a Frame

Apologies for being MIA for a couple of weeks - life kind of got in the way. However, I'm back with this week's challenge on Shimelle's blog to stamp a frame.

As my photo was of a chess tournament, I wanted to stamp a chess-board looking frame - but didn't really have a suitable stamp - and then I found an old checked border stamp (I've had it for ages and the packaging's long gone, so no idea where it came from, unfortunately) which, when stamped several times, kind of gave the idea of a chess board (well, it did to me!). I used this as the background layer on my cardstock before layering on the papers and photo.

The papers and chipboard embellishments are from the It's a Charmed Life collection from Simple Stories. There are a few enamel stars from the Shimelle collection from American Crafts and the alphas, washi tape, and small black enamel dots are from my stash.
