#TGIFC157 - Tic Tac Toe

Hello, hello! Thanks for stopping by today. It is great to have you here. Today I am sharing a card I made for the TGIF Challenges Design team. This week we've got a really fun tic-tac-toe challenge for inspiration. I haven't done a tic-tac-toe challenge in such a long time and this challenge has reminded me just how much fun they can be because you have so many fun options to choose from. Here's my card...

If you've never done a tic-tac-toe challenge before, the way they work is that you have a tic-tac-toe playing board filled with crafty things. You can select any three in a row on the board as inspiration to create your card or project. The TGIFC tic-tac-toe board is at the bottom of my post and I used the left side column as my inspiration: pink, water coloring and washi tape.

I used the Southern Serenade stamp set as my focal point and watercolored it with multiple shades of pink (Melon Mambo, Pink Pirouette and Flirty Flamingo). I used Lemon Lime Twist and Emerald Envy for the stem and leaves. I added some extra spatters of pink with my aqua painter on the front panel... If you look closely at the card base you can see that I've added black spatters with my black Stampin' Write marker too. The sentiment is heat embossed in white on black cardstock and fussy cut.

I used my finger nails to rough up the edges of the watercolored piece and layered it over a mat of Pink Pirouette (also roughed up). That went over a stamped image (smoky slate) and two strips of washi tape. I embellished with black rhinestones and some fine tip glue on the flowers to give them gloss and dimension and Wah-lah! That's it!
