Hello, Hello my crafty friends you know what day it is ..It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday! I tried to keep things a little simple today.  A few weeks ago I saw Nicole Sphor create this plaid background.  I’ve been anxious too try it out. So this week  the Tic Tac Toe board has plaid as one of the elements.. without further ado let’s get down to the business of card making.

This week my card for #tttc006 uses elements from the middle row down: layers, fuzzy (Pineapples are fuzzy right) Oh! but aren’t they so cute and of course you see that plaid background right not to bad for my first time.

This week’s card was pretty easy to pull together except the background  took me two times before I was happy with the results. I die-cut a square out of Neenah Solar White card stock and went to town masking and blending the cracked pistachio, wild honey distress oxide inks which blends like butter……. After I was done with the background I cut a piece of Strathmore Bristol paper and colored the Pineapples with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

I then die-cut the Pineapples and adhered them onto another square piece of Neenah Solar card stock. I used a scrap piece of paper and blended both of the distress oxide inks to give me an ombre look and die-cut the aloha sentiment out twice to give it a little dimension and adhered it to the bottom of my panel with the pineapples. I added glossy accents to the sunglasses and a “lil” clear Wink of Stella to the pineapples and dotted the eyes of the girly pineapple with my Sakura black jelly roll pen. I finished the card off by adding a few Nuvo Crystal Apple drops and then adhered the art piece to the plaid panel onto a square 5×5 SU Garden Green card base.
