Hello, Hello my crafty friends….. I feel like I’m on a Roller Coaster and it’s moving at warp speed… I spent a few days last week in Chicago and I’m seriously playing catch up.
Today is Tic Tac Toe Challenge Day and we have a great challenge board for you! For this weeks board I chose the top left row diagonal down.
For my card this week I knew exactly which row I thought I was going for until I realized my card was not a one layer card. This one was easy to pull together. I stamped several of the images from the Altenew Garden Grow stamp set onto Neenah Solar white cardstock and Copic colored the images with various Copic markers.
I wanted to create a scene with the plants looking like they’re outside against a brick wall. I used my clarity stencil brushes with the Tim Holtz Bricked stencil and Walnut Stain Oxide Distress Ink.
To finish off my card I mounted the Neenah art piece on a Sahara Sand A2 card base and blended Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges of the card base. I hope you like my take on this weeks Tic Tac Toe board elements: Thank You, Distress Inks, Plants.

It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and I’m just going with the flow….. this week!
Today’s card has an ocean vibe going on. I knew I wanted to create a shaker card based on the elements on the challenge board this week… Acetate, Critter, Die-cut.
I purchased a wave background design from the Silhouette store and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo. I blended peacock feathers, broken china and tumbled glass distress inks onto the wave background. 
I stamped and copic colored a few of the images from the Avery Elle Bubbles stamp set and cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut and adhered them to the front of the wave background. I used my Misti to stamp the sentiment and curved it to fit the flow of the wave.
I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the wave background and layered strips of SU foam adhesive
onto the back of the acetate. I brushed my EK Success powder tool along the sides of the form strips which will help the sequins to not stick to the sides. I adhered a few of the sequins randomly on the acetate. I added the sequins and then adhered a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock to the back of the panel and then adhered it onto an A2 Top-Fold Card base. In the photo you can’t see my shaker elements. I wish you could it actually turned out better than expected. Thank you for stopping by hope too see you in the gallery….

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.

I have that song in my head by Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff, Summer Time …. I just love that song it reminds me of summer days growing up as a kid when life was simple. What time is it! It’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday.
For this weeks board I chose the middle row down: Summer, Die-Cut, Pattern Paper. I have a pretty easy card for you this week thanks to the SSS July card kit. I chose one of the pattern papers from the Echo Park Summer Dreams collection and adhered it to an A2 top-fold Neenah Solar White card base.
I die-cut a white stitched rectangle out of Neenah and adhered it on top of the pattern paper. I die cut another rectangle out of the SSS lemon chiffon yellow cardstock that was part of the kit and adhered it on stop of the white panel. I stamped the sentiment with VersaFine Onyx black ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it dimension. I wanted a fun pattern for the bikini and the blue pattern paper was a hit against the yellow cardstock. I added a few of the moonstone sequins to finish the card.
Thank you for stopping by this week to see my card for this weeks Tic Tac Toe challenge……. Hope to see you in the gallery.

Hello, hello! Welcome back to Tic Tac Toe Thursday. For my card today I chose the top left row diagonal down.
I stamped the flower from the Mama Elephant Butterfly Kisses set on Neenah Solar White cardstock and colored the flowers with various Copic markers and cut it out with my Mama Elephant Butterfly Kisses Creative Cuts. I found some strips of old patterned papers from my stash and wow did it make a difference to my design.
I used my Sharpie Extra Fine Point water-based pen to add a few white dots on the flowers to give them some definition along with Clear Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle.
I added a few embellishments with my Nuvo Glitter Drops in Silver MoonDust along with silver twine that was adhered to the back of the flowers. Thank you for stopping by hope you like my take on this weeks Tic Tac Toe board.

Hello, my crafty friends…… I’m super excited it’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday. I’m excited to be sharing my first creation with you today on the new Tic Tac Toe Challenge blog. For my design I chose the right row diagonal.
I trimmed down a piece of Black cardstock to 4 ” x 5 1/4″ and stamped the large floral image from the Floral Bliss Stamp set on the left side of the cardstock as shown using SSS Clear Ink and heat embossed with SSS Ultra Fine Gold embossing powder. The image was water colored with the Gansai Tambi Starry colors and a Silver Black Velvet paint brush #4. Once completely colored in, I set the background aside to dry.
I finished the design by splattering some gold flecks with a scattering of Honey Gold Nuvo Glitter Drops.
Oh! by the way please don’t forget to stop by and see the inspiration from the rest of the Design Team http://tictactoechallenge.com/tttc0001-welcome/
