Your TicTacToe Challenge Cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

Wow this week has absolutely flown by, so much has happened with Sophie starting University and having a car accident, then Mum got a Bionic leg (well it has metal in it), the proper name for her break was Neck of Femur Fracture. She seems to be recovering well and enjoying the attention.

You have made some stunning cards for this weeks challenge, so I will get straight on with sharing them......

Janet

Janet has made some absolutely amazing projects for the this weeks TicTacToe Challenge, showing that you can make lots of different projects other the cards for the challenges.

Janet's Description......

''My first is a traditional birthday card. I used Vellum which has Gold embossed swirls on it. I then used stamps from this ,month's Creative Stamping mag for the leaves and the sentiment. I coloured the leaves etc using spectrum noir pens.

This meets the needs of this week's TicTacToe- Vellum/ribbon/thanks/leaves/gold..

My second offering this week is a small envelope containing a little pocket book which I covered in Vellum which has gold roses printed on it. I embellished the front of the book with silver leaves and finished this off with a ribbon bow and a small paperflower. The envelope has leaf flourishes and a sentiment of 'Thanks.

This meets this week's TicTacToe- vellum/ribbon/thanks/gold/leaves/

To finish I covered a box using the same gold rose vellum.I used gold ribbon around the edges of the lid.The box lid has a silver glitter flower to finish off.

This meets this week's Tictactoe - vellum/ribbon/glitter.''

Thank you so much Janet for such a stunning range of projects XXX

Lilian

Lilian has made an absolutely stunning card for this week's TicTacToe Challenge. 

Your colouring has bought those die cut flowers to life Lilian, they look so realistic.  The shading on your background really draws your eye into the focal point of your card.  Sometimes using Glitter card as a mat/layer can draw the eye away but not with this card.

I would love to sit and watch your creative process. 

Thank you so very much Lilian, you must have been both physically and mentally drained after a full day in hospital, so I really do appreciate the effort you have made to make your Challenge card. XXX 

Michele

Michele has made two gorgeous. Autumnal cards, I love that embossing folder and the die!

Michele's Description....

''2 very quick/simple challenge cards from me. Gold/thanks/dry Embossing and dry Embossing/glitter/leaves. The rich gold card is glittery. The 3rd picture is the magazine freebie I used to make the cards. It was from the August issue of Papercraft Essentials.''

Thank you so much Michele for 2 gorgeous Challenge cards XXX

Karen

Oh WOW Karen, I absolutely love your challenge cards for this week's TicTacToe, you have shown how easily this particular grid could be used for both Christmas and other occasion cards.

I love how detailed and sparkly your cards are, I might just have to but that Christmas die, purely because I love those deer and I love that card you have made, the photo just doesn't do it justice, so zoom in ladies and check out the sparkle!

I will add Karen's descriptions below.....

Card 1 :  Here’s a cc for you

Glitter-Leaves-Die cut This is the first time ever I have used black glitter (Nuvo) The coppery gold was given to me Don’t know name. I quite liked it before I put JL butterfly on too!

Card 2:  I’ve just finished this cc Gold-Glitter-Die cut

I am really thrilled with the background It was a technique shown by Jenny McGuire where you “trap” glitter etc in a laminating pouch! Dead easy (I could do it!) The stars are leftovers from Milestone confetti and the glitter is CS Holographic Sea Spray  Glitterbitz backed onto navy card Frame cut on ScanNCut.

Thank you so much karen for two stunning, inspirational cards XXX

Lynda

Two fantastic cards by Lynda that work perfectly for this Challenge...

Card  1:  Gold/Die Cut/Embossing.  Using 'Lovely as a Tree Stamp set and Star Of Light,  (Both SU) the stamps are used to create a lovely scene, a die cut gold frame finishes the card.

Card 2: This is a card that Lynda made for lovely CU's Birthday,  using Categories: Heat Emboss/Die Cut/Gold . I love how you have used the brick effect background and stamped the train on a die cut circle to create the look of the train coming out of the tunnel.  Brilliant card Lynda !!

Thanks so much for 2 amazing cardsXXX
