TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - TTTC167 FROM ALL OF US...

Howdy friends!

Hope you are enjoying your summer so far? 

Today, I'm stopping by with a new card for this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC167....

Here is this weeks TTTC167 board....

I chose the first column down - COLORING, FLOWERS AND METALLIC.

I knew I had to dig out my amazing Spellbinder - Magnolia Blooms Etched Dies. I decided to ink blend the center of the flowers with SU - Pretty in Pink. Next I used various Copic Markers to add some shading. The Gold Foil CS is from Taylor Expressions. The second card stock base was splashed with some Gold and Black Zig Kuretake Gansai Colors. At last, I finished my card off with a bigger sentiment and some Gold Pearls on the sides...voila.

TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - TTTC159 HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hello and happy Thursday!

Can't believe it's almost the end of April...how can this be?!? 

Today, I have a card for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC159....

Here is the challenge board....

I decided to use the middle row down - SPARKLE, FREE AND FUN FOLD.

I must admit, I always shy away from fold cards, because some how I'm really challenged with following written instructions...LOL!!! I'm definitely more of a visual learner. 

I came across THIS Instragram fold card/video and thought it would be fun to try. For my card base I chose a lighter SU - Barely Banana CS and added some PTI Striped DP. For the middle I added a heavier White CS from PTI. The gorgeous bloom is from the Pinkfresh Studio - Garden Roses Set. I matched it up with the coordinating dies and layering stencils. Next I stamped the sentiment and punched it out with the SU - Large Oval Punch. At last I added the Silver Halfback Pearls below the sentiment and voila my card is done! 

Now it's your turn....don't forget to stop by the TTTC Challenge Blog to see all for the teams ideas.
