Hello friends! It's time for a new Tic Tac Toe Challenge and this week the lovely Claire has given us this wonderful board for our inspiration!
I went down the left row for my card - thankful, brown, die cuts.
I started with the autumn floral that came out during Simon Say Stamp's Stamptember, where Simon releases a new collaboration stamp set nearly every day and when they sell out, they're gone. Fortunately for my pocketbook, I only bought a couple, this sweet stamp set being one from Studio Katia. I stamped both the sentiment and main image, then colored the florals and pumpkin with alcohol markers. To get more contrast in the yellow flowers, I used three polychromos colored pencils to deepen the shaded areas, although unfortunately the photos does not fully capture that. :-( Everything was then die cut with coordinating dies.
The Scallop cover die provided some wonderful white texture over an off-white card base, then a strip of brown textured cardstock was added to ground the image. The pumpkin floral was added to the front with thin foam squares, then I die cut the sentiment twice more, cutting off the part that overlapped the pumpkin and adhered it to the brown strip, and that finished things off.
Thanks for visiting, I appreciate it. The link above will take you over to the challenge where you can take a look at the cards by the other DT members and hopefully be inspired to join us this week!
Take care!
Stef
