Tic Tac Toe Guest Designer

 Trying something NEW with Pinkfresh Washi!

Hi all!

I'm excited to share that I'm the guest designer again this week at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge!  I love their challenges, so many different ways to participate to fit any designer's style.  Check out the challenge board and see what you can create!

I chose to go down the left side; layers, die cuts, and patterned papers.  It also fits in the diagonal right to left, with layers, fun fold and gems too!

This card is made of 3 card bases, 5 pieces of patterned paper, and 2 strips of Lemons and Blueberries washi tape.  

The card bases were assembled together accordion style.  Then the patterned papers were placed on the sides that would be visible.  The hard part was die-cutting through all the layers of card stock!  Altenew's Halftone Circle die set was used for the graduated die cuts, using a smaller die for each layer.  That way you can see all the way through to the last page of the card.

Then came the fun part...decorating!  The sentiment banner is from The Stamp Market along with the sentiment stamps.  Each layer of the card has the banners placed in the same location.  The trick to do it was that the back side of the banner was stamped on for 2 of the strips so you wouldn't see it from the front of the card....that took a while to figure out!  

Next, the washi die cuts were added ensuring the back sides were covered by die cuts on the front side.  Does that make sense?  Once it was completed, the gems were added to the front, but glitter glue was used for the inside to add sparkle and the card would still lay flat.

So that's it for me!  I hope you'll join the Tic Tac Toe challenge this week, its a great board!

Have a colorful day!
