Magic for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge

Hello, friends and welcome back!  It's time for a new Tic Tac Toe challenge.  This week I am hosting and bring you this fun board to spark your creativity!  

Tic Tac Toe Challenge

I'm also joining the current challenge at Fusion where the current theme is Purple Night.  I think my card works pretty well for that!

In addition, I'm joining a brand new challenge blog called Two Old Bats Halloween challenge (hilarious!). The fabulous Dar and Diane from the Double D Challenge have created this fun new monthly challenge.  Looking forward to playing in the coming months.

Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge

For my card I went along the bottom row of the Tic Tac Toe board (scary, Halloween, purple).  I've had this fabulous dragon from a 2019 Stamptember set from Tim Holtz and decided he would be perfect in purple!

Isn't he just creepily delicious?  My family loves Halloween and I know my oldest grandson is going to love getting this.  I'll be sending my middle grandson the Halloween card here that I made for tttc085.  To begin, the dragon was stamped on Bristol paper and colored with Copic markers.  He was then masked off so the background could be ink blended with Distress Inks, then splattered with water and black gesso.  After the panel dried it was die cut with an oval die and layered on a larger black oval.

To create the background, a panel of Rich Razzleberry was stenciled with plum Nuvo Shimmer paste through a swirling star stencil that came with the stamp set.  Once that dried and was trimmed down, it was adhered directly to the black card base.  Next the main image was added with foam tape.  The sentiment, which I think is so droll it cracks me up, also came with the stamp set.  It was heat set on black, die cut with a label die and adhered to the bottom of the main image.  And that finished things off!

Thanks so much for visiting, it's really appreciated!  I've added a link to the challenge above so I hope you check it out along with all the fabulous cards by the other DT members, and hopefully join in the fun this week!
