Hello there and Happy Easter to you (if you celebrate the holiday). It is time for another fun challenge over at the Paper Players. This week, the lovely and talented Jaydee is our hostess with a "Tic-Tac-Toe" challenge. Pick a line across, down or diagonally on the board pictured above. Or if you are feeling REALLY adventurous...go for every square on the board! Ha! We would just love it if you would join us and play along.
I decided to create my card with the pink and green colors, birthday card theme, using pearls as an accent. Although, there are SO many fun possibilities with this tic-tac-toe challenge, don't you think? I also used Rita's awesome sketch from this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge for inspiration.
The Button Buddies stamp set is one of my all-time favorites! So many fun images, for a variety of occasions. I think it is one of those sets that everyone should own, because it is really versatile. I went with a polka dot theme for my card...polka dots are just plain F-U-N! I dressed up the image with some Bitty Button flowers, accented with some pearls. I added texture with the embossing folders, ribbon and buttons. All of the supplies I used are listed at the end of this post.
Please join us this week over at the Paper Players! The challenge is open through Friday, April 5th at NOON (PDT). Check out what the rest of the Design Team created with this week's challenge:

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, pretty, pretty- so girlfriendy pretty! so many details that all go together;))
Hello Anne, your cards are all so beautiful and elegant. I always enjoy looking at them and trying to CASE them. However, there is one thing that I wish to ask. Do you have a tutorial to tying your ribbons? They always look so perfect that I wish I could do them half as nice. Please....
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie this tic-tac-toe card is darling. Love the colors you used and the textures are fab. Now that little kitty bunny is too cute! hugs.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy, bright colors and I especially love the polka dot and pearl button flowers! And what a cute Easter picture of your Abby kitty! Mine would never keep those bunny ears on. Hugs :)
ReplyDeleteAM, I knew you would go for pink and green. Why did I think that :-) I love the repetition of dots. I love the pearls in the flowers. I love the ribbon.... gorgeous! And... little Abby... well, she melts my heart!
