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! It’s me again I told you I’ve gotten lot’s of play time in the haven and I’m one happy girl. I decided to join in the fun over on the AI (Art Impression blog) the challenge over there is Bling, Glitter, Glossy. I pulled out my Wine Diva stamp set. I love those AI girlfriend stamp sets.
For this card I stamped my image and copic colored it on Neenah Solar White cardstock and cut it out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I wanted my background to look like a funny bar scene so I chose some pattern papers from the Echo Park Party Time 12×12 paper collection.
The challenge theme is Bling, Glitter, Glossy and I litterly went all out. I cut a strip from my DCWV Glitzy Pastels glitter paper and adhered it to the party collection background. I used some Nuvo Glitter drops for my bling and you can’t see it in the photo but the wine glasses and wine bottles has glossy accents on them. I finished this card off by adhering it onto an A2 Top-Fold card base.

Happy Sunday my crafty friends…. I’ve been playing a lot this weekend in the haven. I’m entering a few challenges this week. I decided to play along over on the Freshly Made Sketches blog and first time over at The Color Throwdown. The colors on my flowers played right into the colors this week over at Color Throwdown (Dark Pink, Pale Pink, Green, White). This weeks sketch made it so easy for my creation. I knew I wanted to make another card with the Avery Elle Floral Bouquet. I’ve fallen in love with that stamp set.
I stamped and colored the florals in the stamp set with various copic markers on a stitched square Neenah Solar White cardstock.
I found a piece of scrap Neenah cardstock on my desk and took the broad tip of my copic markers and made a few diagonal stripes the same colors as my image and separated the colors with my EK Success journal pen to give the strip a dramatic effect.
I mounted the panel on a 5×5 square base of Neenah Solar White 110 (lb) cardstock. I added a few embellishments with my Nuvo Crystal drops and Clear Wink of Stella to the florals to finish off my card.
