HOPE This Makes You Smile PP391

April 29, 2018

It’s Sunday and it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!

Our super talented Joanne is the hostess this week!  She has a fabulous Tic Tac Toe  challenge for all of us.  We can't wait to see what you create!  





I used the top row for my card:  flowers, die-cut, twine.  
My card is created on a white card base.  I used a scalloped die to cut the dark yellow background.  The white rectangle is cut using a stitched rectangle die.  I used two shades of yellow ink to create the flowers using the Concord and 9th HOPE stamp set.  The leaves are created with two shades of green ink.  The top layer is cut using the HOPE Label Die.  I used distress inks and sponged the yellows and oranges on a scrap paper and attached it behind the die.  The rest of the sentiment was stamped in black ink.  A twine bow was added to complete my card.
