TICTACTOE CHALLENGE

Our challenge at TicTacToe is a little slow in starting up for 2026 but we are all set with some new team members, themes and assignments - we're good to go!!  Rosanne has started us off with a Valentine theme and I chose down the left side with hearts, floral and texture.  My card also goes across the middle with floral, ink blending and sentiment strip.

I made a Z fold card and used some old dies (Altenew) and an embossing folder (Spellbinders) - neither available any longer.  I ink blended the flower parts and leaves (DO shabby shutters, picked raspberry and kitsch flamingo) and then arranged them into a sort of bouquet.  Next, I glued my bouquet to the left side of the Z fold card. To add a little pizzazz, I added some sparkle spray and some gold spatter.  Glued on the little sentiment and done!!

Our challenge runs from February 12th to the 26th. That's two weeks of time to create and post on our website (https://tictactoechallenge.com).

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Crafty hugs,

 

 
  

INSPIRATION CHALLENGE

The colors for the February Altenew Inspiration Challenge are sort of a pale gray, green and soft coral.  I recently bought their lilac dies and just HAD to use them!

After die cutting all the flowers, I used some inks to give them a little depth with ink shading. Then arranged them on the branch - Altenew's number system makes it a breeze to arrange.  I gave the arch card base some texture with a 3D die from Altenew.  The card base is a dull gray/silver.  Added a little interest with some enamel dots.  I will add a sentiment when needed - altho it will probably be for a birthday.
