ECLECTIC BLOOMS

A large set of Olo markers was given to me for my birthday and I put them to good use for today's card for the TicTacToe Challenge #298.  I went across the bottom with border, yellow and markers.  There's also a little sparkle in the flowers with tiny black gems and you might consider the arched card a fun fold.  I like to try and find ways of using multiple elements from the board in my cards.

 

I used Altenew's Eclectic Bouquet for my flowers and the embossed background. Spellbinder's Essential Arches dies were used to cut the card and the background piece. 



Hope you'll join in our challenge for the next two weeks!

SUMMER BLOOM

Rosanne has a great challenge for us today on the TicTacToe Challenge #296!  I went down the center with patterned paper, die cuts and 3D.  Those layering flowers dies from Altenew certainly made it easy to do the 3D and dies elements from the board.  I went thru my patterned papers and tried out a few before deciding on this one for my card.  I think it turned out to be a fun way for creating a flower.

I embossed the black background with leaves and mounted it on a piece of A2 cardstock desert storm.  The flowers and leaves are from Altenew - Grand Dahlia and Curving Leaves.  I'll add a sentiment when needed or maybe not at all!!
 

Hope to see your card in this fun challenge from Roseanne!
