Last Day of Tic-Tac-Toe at Die Cut Divas!

Hi everyone - I'm part of the last day post at Die Cut Divas for our April Challenge. We have a tic-tac-toe board for some fun and you have until 9pm PST to play along. The Design Team is playing with digis from our sponsor Joy Clair Designs but you can use any supplies. Just be sure to include a die or embossing folder for your project along with the theme. Here's my card:

Supplies: Paper - Spelbinders A2 card; Poptone Black;

My Favorite Things Petite Gingham

Digital stamps - Joy Clair Designs Truly Inspire

Dies - A Jillian Vance Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set;

My Favorite Things Blueprints 2

Other - Hero Arts Spring Enamels Stickers;

Copic Markers (R22/24/46/59)

I used the diagonal lower left to upper right: Flowers, Friendship, Red. Thanks to teamie Arlene (A Bit of This and That) for sending the digi prints (again, no working printer). I fussy cut the two blossoms from Joy Clair Designs Truly Inspire & colored the first one with shades of red Copic Markers. Decided to leave the second in outline. Trimmed the sentiment block into three parts, put foam tape behind the top & bottom one. Die cut a rectangle from a gingham paper & a mat layer from black, added to the card base & then the rest of the elements. Done!

Now for a bonus card using some wonderful Joy Clair clear stamps & the left vertical row:

Supplies: Paper - Penny Black Painted Blooms; Neenah white;

BoBunny Serendipity Collection; Hero Arts Pitch Black;

Paper Studio teal card

Stamps - Joy Clair Designs

Dies - Hero Arts Museum Frame; 

A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set

Other - Star Dust Stickles; Copic Markers; Park Lane gems; white pen

In March I read Jodi Picoult's Wish You Were Here. The protagonist learns to appreciate life in new ways (I won't say how) - loved this book!! That's my inspiration for this card using flowers and sentiment from Wish Big. I stamped and colored the garden scene, framed it and added to several layers of paper. Hard to read in the photo but the sentiment reads "Life is Beautiful" - so true!

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you in the April gallery!
