Hello, Hello! So are you enjoying the ride so far I’m back and this time were playing over on the CASology blog and the cue word this week is Juicy…..

I have the perfect image for the cue word this week. I downloaded my Power Poppy Juicy Strawberries image onto X-Press It Blending card and colored the image with various copic markers. I used one of the sentiments from the digital set and don’t you think it’s perfect for the cue word this week… a Big JUICY Squooshy hug, Amazing!

To finish my card I adhered the art panel onto a Neenah Solar White (110lb) A2 Top Fold card. I hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. I truly appreciate you stopping by……

Hello…. It’s A Freshly Made Saturday
Happy Sunday my crafty friends….. I’ve had tons of time this weekend playing in the haven and boy does it feel good to create. I’m joining a few challenges this week. So come along for the ride and enjoy!
I love the sketch that Kim created over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog this week… I knew I wanted a dramatic look and this Washi tape I had in my stash has a geometric sort of dramatic look about it…..

I used a Neenah black top-fold A2 card base and adhered the strips of Washi onto the card base. I knew the exact image I needed to draw your eye to the background. I stamped a few images from my recent purchase MFT Delicate Pretty Poppies stamp and colored the flower and leaves image with various copic markers and cut out with my Brother Scan-N-Cut.

To finish my card I adhered the flower and leaves images on top of the Washi strips. I used the SSS Painted Hello Die for my sentiment and gave it an ombre look by using my copic markers. I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze to the center of the flower and a few Nuvo Crystal Drops and it’s a rap for this card.

How Does Your Garden Grow – TTTC009
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.

Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), Sahara Sand (SU)
Stamp: Altenew Garden Grow, SSS Bouquet of Thanks
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Chocolate Chip (SU), Walnut Stain Distress Oxide, Various Copic Markers

Thank you for stopping by can’t wait to see your take on this weeks board.

TTTC007 … Go With The Flow
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….
