Hello, crafting friends!
It's Thursday and that means there's a whole lot of new inspiration at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge! I came up with this week's board and I hope you'll love using the ideas.
I chose the top row Snow/Stencil/Tree, and made a simple, one-layer Christmas card using The Greetery's Stencilscapes Winter set of layering stencils.
I adore the dynamic scene you can build up using these six stencils and it was surprisingly quick and easy too! Once the stencil layers were completed, I added a few details with markers and a sentiment from a Uniko set.
Okay, so now it's your turn! Which row or column has caught your eye this week? Or perhaps you are going for one of the diagonals? Do hop over to the Tic Tac Toe challenge blog and admire the samples Design Team X has made to inspire you. You'll find the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post and you can use it to share your own creation with us. Have fun!
CHALLENGES
I'm linking this card up at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown where the challenge is to use a stencil.
AND IN OTHER NEWS
I have been AWOL for a week or two after a series of unfortunate events! It started slowly with me snapping a cutting pad by using the wrong sandwich in my Big Shot; then got a bit more serious when the car needed its clutch replacing and then they discovered a whole host of other things wrong as well; and culminated in a tidy group of three with me developing a nasty flu bug and taking to my bed! Dear Eva has been a charming nursemaid though this and is positively worn out with lying on the end of my bed keeping me company!!
Hope you're feeling much better Vicky,being unwell after the other mishaps was a disaster,at least you had an attentive companion. A beautiful card,so much to see in the winter scene.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, and I do hope you’re feeling better! Xxx

ReplyDeleteOh Vicky! That is a series of unfortunate events... I hope you are feeling better. Your stenciled scene is magical I LOVE it. I had not seen this stencil set, thank goodness.
