Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Creative Fools Blog Hop

Hello there!! This is my second post for today. (If you are looking for the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #7 post, please click here.)

We have been planning the Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe "Creative Fools" Blog Hop for months and I hope you enjoy it.

The design team is featuring cards that are "punny" in nature. You have from today, 9:00 a.m. Friday, April 1, 2016 until 12:00 p.m. Sunday, April 3, 2016 to hop with us.

Here is the second card I created for the hop.

I have to admit, I cheated a little bit. I will let you in on that a little later, though.

I used the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge Badge #1 for my card. I used the top row-gold, sparkles and acetate.

I started off by stamping the "Celeste Set" stamp from Art Impressions in black dye ink and die cut the panel using a stitched rectangle die. I then colored her in using Copic Markers, with the exception of the shoes. I used a Gold Wink of Stella pen over the shoes.

After coloring, I adhered the stamped panel toa 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" top folding white card that I had covered in a piece of Basic Gray patterned paper from the "Aurora" collection.

Here is where the fun began!! I added Wink of Stella to Celeste's leopard print shirt and Diamond Stickles to her earring for some sparkle. Then here is where I cheated. I attempted to make the glass out of acetate but failed. Instead, I covered it with clear Wink of Stella and some Glossy Accents.

I loved the card so much when it was completed that I colored three more panels in a similar fashion. I have yet to make them into cards, but will take a photo when I do.

Now here is the fun part!! I am offering a prize for my readers. Leave a comment on my blog and I will pick a winner from the commenters. I will be posting the winner on Tuesday, April 5, 2016.

Please hop on over to the other design team members to see their fabulous creations. The next on the hop is Lindsey Larsen.

Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #7

Happy Friday everyone!! Today I am sharing a card that I created for Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #7.

I chose the last row down for my card, using tag, Kraft, and one potted plant.

I chose to use the Kraft element as the background card stock. I then went through my scraps and grabbed a piece of purple patterned paper that is YEARS old and some purple Bazzill. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut the paper out. I layered the two pieces over the card base and added another scrap of white over them.

Next I die cut a tag using Casual Friday's "Tag Buddies Frie-dies" out of light purple card stock, added a gray piece of Doodlebug Twine at the top of the tag, and adhered it to the card using foam adhesive.

I then adhered a flower and pot that I had colored in with Copic markers and die cut using Sunny Studios "Backyard Bugs" stamp and matching dies. I added a touch of white on the flower with a Signo Uniball gel pen and some sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella over the whole image. I also added some yellow Stickles to the flower center.

I completed the card by adding some sequins by Pretty Pink Posh.

I really love how this came out. I hope you all come on over to Stamping Smiles Design Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge and join us in this challenge.

Have a FABULOUS weekend!!
