The Paper Players Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge
I went with the middle row, down, using green, die-cut, and leaves.
First I stamped the leaf panel with Catherine Pooler inks and Altenew's Free Form Greenery stamps. After adding the Wishing You sentiment from Mama Elephant, I die cut the stamped layer, nesting a smaller rectangle die inside a larger one (MFT Blueprints 31). The result was a thin, stitched frame and then I was able to pop up the center portion on fun foam. I added the teeny black sentiment strip and a few Nuvo drops in Apple Green and Sea Breeze to finish it off.
The second challenge I had to play along with is CASology's:
With a cue of "Flow," I should explain a bit what I was thinking. Not water, electricity, etc., but traffic. Yep, traffic flow! I worked in Seattle for many years and, if you didn't know, Seattle has some of the worst traffic in the country. I spent many hours sitting in traffic which usually didn't "flow" at peak commuting times. I could have used this sentiment then!
The only traffic flow I have to worry about now is stopping when the beautiful deer are crossing the road. I don't mind that at all!
For this card, I stamped the image from Altenew (Sketchy Cities America 2) with Hero Arts Pool to Navy Ombre ink and the sentiment with Gina K.'s In the Navy on a Neenah Solar White 110# card base. I added a little sequin on the Great Wheel and that was it!
Hope you're having a good week ~ thanks so much for stopping by!
Annie your leafy card is so beautiful - love those tranquil greens and blues and the neat layering. A great take on the CASology challenge too - love that sentiment, we should all do that more often! Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteHa! The flow (or lack of flow) of traffic is a brilliant take on the cue this week at CASology! I love your ombre inked image, so pretty! Thanks for joining us at CASology!
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative take on the cue card! I too sit in tons of traffic on a regular for my job so I certainly appreciate this lol. I love your ombre color combo too! Thanks for sharing at CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the FLOW cue, Ann! That single embellishment is such a nice touch to finish off your fantastic design!
