Hello crafty friends!
I know—long time, no post! I’ve still been creating behind the scenes, just haven’t posted in a while. You know life happens and we often take care of the necessary things. For this week’s Tic Tac Toe Challenge Design Team X is up this round—and as always, they brought the inspiration!
This week’s board had a masculine theme, which always stretches me creatively. Masculine cards are something I tend to overthink, but I took this as a fun challenge to keep it clean and strong with a touch of heart.
My Card Details
For my card, I used the Taylored Expressions plaid layering stencil and ink blended with Taylored Expressions premium dye inks in Salt Water Taffy, Gumball and Blueberry on Neenah Solar White Cardstock 110lb., die cut with Spellbinders (A2 Matt Basic B-size die 3.875×5.125)
The sentiment, “You’re the Best”, is from C9 Kristina Werner’s Mothers & Fathers stamp/die set. I stamped in Simon’s White Pigment ink heat embossed with Simon’s Fine Detail White embossing powder onto Papertrey Ink’s Enchanted Evening (A2 card base) cardstock. I angled a small “Happy Father’s Day” banner across the corner for added movement and layered my plaid panel on the (Enchanted Evening) card base. To finish off my design I added a few blue shape heart brads.
The result is a soft, classic plaid that reminds me of a crisp button-up shirt—perfect for Father’s Day!
