I Just Hugged You In My Thoughts! Paper Players Challenge PP565

Oct. 31, 2021

Wishing all of you a fun and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Don't eat too much candy!  LOL! 

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

The Amazing Ann is our hostess this week and she has a fabulous Tic Tac Toe Challenge for all of us!  SO many possibilities--we can't wait to see what you create! 

My card is created using the last column: die cuts, leaves/pumpkins/ embellishments

My card is created on a white card base.  I added an Early Expresso background on top of the card base.  The next layer is white. I added puffy clouds that I cut out with a cloud die and sponged around the cloud edges to create dimension.  The grass was cut with Garden Green paper using a grass die.  The little girl and all the leaves were stamped using a PI stamp set from MFT-- Jumping For Joy.  I colored her with Copic Markers and paper pieced all of her clothing items.  I used the matching die to cut her and all the leaves out.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I added three orange enamel dots to complete my card.

          Use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral of your choice.

My card is created on a white 5 x 5 square card.  I added a piece of Halloween DSP to the top of the card base.  I cut three yellow circles with a die for the background for the hats.  The witches hats are stamped in black ink using the SSS If the Hat Fits Stamp Set and colored with Copic Markers.  I used the matching dies to cut out the hats.  Wink of Stella was added on each hat for shine.  I did not add another sentiment because of all the words on the background paper.
