Hello, my crafty friends…….. It feel like it’s been forever since I’ve sat down and really had an opportunity to  create. It felt good to just play. I moved a couple of months ago and it seem as though things were in a disarray including me.. (lol) so this past weekend I did nothing but play. My new craft space is called the Loft-A-Mania it’s cute and cozy.

Well my friends it’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and for my design this week I knew I wanted to create off the bottom row across (Sequins, Watercolor, Square) I know it says square you’ve had one of those moments where you finished the design and you look at the challenge and realize Oop’s yeah! that’s what I said.

I wanted to do some ink smooshing so I took a few distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral) and smooshed onto a 4×5.25 panel of Strathmore Watercolor paper. I love how this background turned out… I die cut the SSS Clipping Hearts die out of the smooshed panel and inlay the hearts into the panel and popped some of the hearts with foam dots for dimension.

The love sentiment was die cut with the SSS Love die out of Stampin Up Gold Foil paper.  I stamped the Sending You sentiment with the SSS Love stamp onto Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with SSS Fine Gold (EP).

To finish off my design I added a few Lucy’s Little Things True Love sequins and adhered the panel onto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White Card base. I hope you’ll join in the fun this week and while your at it you should check out the rest of the Design Team.
