Hello, Hello my crafty friends………! It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and I’m keeping it simple this week. For this week’s board I chose the elements on the top row across: Metallic, Emboss, Insect or bug. This week’s board was created by the talented Nicole Watt………..
I have fallen in love with the dramatic look of black cardstock as the backdrop for my images. I took a piece of SU Black cardstock and stamped the flower image from the Mama Elephant Butterfly Kisses with clear ink and heat embossed with the SSS Fine Detail Gold EP. I then colored the flower with my Prima Metallic Accents Watercolors. I have a confession I’m actually giving Washi tape some love. I adhered strips of the Pink Fresh Studio Washi tape along the sides of my card base . After I was done with the art panel I took the same colors of paint as my image and went splatter crazy. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed with the gold embossing powder as well………. The art panel was then adhered to an A2Top Fold card base. I hope you like my take on the top row of the Tic Tac Toe board this week. Oh by the way you should check out some of the design’s that Design Team “O” has created for you this week.

HI Felicita,
I am really liking the black card stock as a base for this flower stamp, your coloring is great.
Washi tape is perfect for the borders, and splatter, oh my that is the best, I think it really pops the design.
