Hello, Welcome back to another fun week over at Tic Tac Toe challenge. I’m hoping you and your family have a blessed Easter. My family and I will be celebrating with an Easter brunch this year.

For my design this week I’ve been googling a technique by Jennifer McGuire where she blends multiple Distress Oxide inks onto a card panel, and then water paints the stamped image. I blended Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio and Forest Moss on Neenah Solar White cardstock. I stamped the W Plus 9 Sympathy Lilies stamp onto the blended panel with Versamark ink and heat embossed with SSS Ultra Fine Gold (EP).

To finish my card I splattered a few droplets of water onto the blended panel added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops Bright Gold, adhered onto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White card base.

Hello, Welcome back to another fun week over at Tic Tac Toe challenge. I’m late getting this post up today I have some serious catching up.I spent most of last Saturday at Kathy Racoosin 30 Day Coloring Challenge Road Trip. The event was at Lawn Fawn in Rancho Santa Margarita. It was a blast I met tons of new crafty friends.
For my design this week I chose the elements middle row across (watercoloring, any accents, monogrammed). I wanted to try the
technique Jennifer used last week with embossing and distress inks and using watercoloring to remove the ink.

Tick, Tock… It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday! I’m back with another design and this week I chose the elements from the bottom row across (Enamel Dots, Birthday, Green). You should join in the fun, while your there check out what the Design Team and our Guest Designer created this week for inspiration.

Create With Me…
1. I cut a piece of Strathmore Watercolor paper and inked smooshed several of the green colors from my Prima Colour A La Cremes Water Soluble Oil Pastels () and let it air dry. Once the panel was dry I die-cut with the Avery Elle Wonky Stitched Rectangle die.
2. I die cut several of the MFT Birthday Balloons out of Neenah Solar White card (80lb) with my Gemini Jr.
3. The balloon die cuts were stamped with various MFT Mini Inks (Perwinkle, Tickled Pink, Banana Split, Tangy Orange, Blu Raspberry). I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx Black ink.
4. The balloons were adhered to the ink smooshed panel with adhesive and foam dots for dimension, I then drew my string with a Black Pigma Micron Pen and added white dots, shadows with a Sakura White Gelly Roll pen.
5. To finish off my card I adhered the water colored panel onto a (4.75 x 5.25) piece of the pebbles (Happy Hooray 6×6 paper), both were adhered onto an A2 to fold Neenah card base a few enamel dots were added randomly through out my card panel.
