Here is Cec's description of the challenge:
"Let's play a game of Tic Tac Toe for this first challenge of the year. Choose any vertical, horizontal or diagonal line from the graphic below and create a vintage or shabby chic project using all three items on your chosen line. In addition to using all three items you must include a copy of the graphic in your post and tell us which line you chose."
There were a variety of choices here and I was inspired by the Layers, Bling and Die Cuts. Although I had lots of the squares covered!!
I was so inspired I made two versions of the same card....
These cards started with bits of crochet lace die cut that was accidentally glued to some white cardstock when working on my holiday tags. I was applying glue and glitter on the die cuts on top of a sheet of white cardstock. When I pulled up the lacey diecut some stuck to the white cardstock. I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into a background. Hence the torn lace.
I then had some stars laying around on my table and a deer cut out already and everything came together very quickly. The stars were embossed with silver tinsel embossing powder.
I stamped over the background with music stamps and script stamps.
The rest was just assembling bits and pieces together. I love when the various bits from projects come together beautifully into a card.
I hope this has you inspired to come play along in our tic tac toe!

I always love your collages Suzz and these cards are gorgeous! The torn lace works so well with the script and stars and the neutral colour scheme makes them even more classy.
ReplyDeleteSuzz, I love it when something you have lying around becomes something as beautiful as this with some little nudges. What a stunning pair of wintry cards.! It looks like you really embraced Cec's Tic Tac Toe challenge. Happy New Year to you and yours!
