Another Tic Tac Toe card

 Here is the other card I made for
this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge at
Just Us Girls

 

For some reason I just wasn't happy with this one
hence I made another.
 

 

It's been a long time since I did a cut away card

so thought it a good idea to try one again.

The SU Morning Meadow Stamp was perfect for this

and I stamped it randomly on white cs in

Memento Teal Zeal & SU Baja Breeze.

The top flowers are die cut from SU Petite Petals.

Card base is Kraft

Butterflies are from GKD inked with

Tim Holtz Frayed Burlap.

Sentiment is also GKD

Finished with different coloured pearls from Kaisercraft.

 

 



It's Wild Card Week at JUGS

 

Once again it is another month with 5 Saturdays

and that means WILD WEEK at Just Us Girls 

hosted this time by Chris who has chosen.

an ever popular challenge in Blogland -

TIC TAC TOE

They are always so much fun with so many choices -

you get to pick your very own favourite squares.

 

 

 

I had already made a card for this challenge but

decided to make another.

I will post it after this goes live.

Can't believe I have chosen just about

 the same colours as before.

Oh Well! on to how I made this one -

I chose to go straight down the middle with

Die Cuts Stamps and Flowers

with

White Aqua & Kraft card stock

My stencil is TCW - Textile and inked with

SU Whisper White and added

Mont Marte Pearl White Paint and

a little glitter

Flower is from SU Flower Shop

Flourishes are Kaisercraft

Added a sentiment a few small flowers

some fern and pearls to finish.

I'm this weeks GUEST at Always Playing with Paper

 

I recently won the colour challenge over at

Always Playing with Paper

and was asked to be their Guest for this week challenge.

Of course I was so excited I said YES!

 

 

Don't you just love this Inspiration Photo?

Now a lot of us tend to steer away from male cards

but after seeing this photo -which just screamed

Rusty Old Car! I got out some supplies I thought

I would use but landed up with something totally

different and I must say

how pleased I was with how it finished.

 

 

I started my card with black card stock.

The DP I used here is from

Farm House Paper Co. - Fair Skies

This was used on the first background

and behind the tag.

I have backed that with black cs embossed

with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.

I distressed the edges on both the dp and the tag.

The truck is from Gina K Designs Country Roads.

The sentiment is also from GKD

which I purposely chose because when you travel

there are little moments

 that make that trip a big lifetime memory.

Sentiments on the tag are from Stamp It.

The other stamps are from

Prima Marketing and Kaisercraft.

The truck was coloured with a variety of pencils

from Faber Castell and blended.

Inks used were Memento Tuxedo Black

Stormy Sky/Potters Clay

and Tim Holtz Peacock Feather.

Foam Squares for depth

Finishing it off with a couple of brads

and some Jute String.

Just saying 'Thank You'

Our current challenge over at

Crafty Cardmakers is to use Punches/Dies

and Maike is Hosting.

 

 

I am sure you are like me and got new craft items for Christmas.

My hubby chose this die for me so of course I HAD to

try it out didn't I? Perfect for our latest challenge.

I cut my die - Crafts Too You Daisy with green card stock

and the daisy head in white which I inked in

Tim Holtz Abandoned Coral. Touched up with Wink of Stella.

 I forgot that I had a spare piece of cs already

with the shaving cream technique

sitting on my desk left over from another card

which matched my flower Genies.

This was cut with Spellbinders Wonky Rectangle die.

I embossed the backing with

Couture Creation Ambrosia.

I found this gorgeous ribbon and attached to the back

(a little hard to see) and placed my bow to the side.

I finished by adding a tiny sentiment from SU. 

 



Be sure to pop by to see what the DT have for your inspiration

and hope to see your creation there.

PS It doesn't have to be a card this time so

let your imagination run wild!

but don't forget if it has you cannot enter it

 if you have uploaded it to more than

 15 sites including this one...sorry

 

Happy crafting and Thanks for dropping in
