My card is created on a white card base. I used the SugarPea Designs Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle dies to cut out the three panels. I stamped the zombie girl from the SugarPea Designs Undying Love stamp set. I colored her with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for shine. White dots were added with a gel pen. I also stamped a mug and added a little pumpkin on the front of the mug. I covered the mug with Glossy Accents. The sentiment is from two different stamp set. The word "Coffee" is from the SugarPea Designs Perfect Blend set and the "My Love for you will Never Die" is from the Undying Love set. A few black enamel dots were added for fun!

Oh My Stars!-- #tttc014

September 11, 2017

It's a very somber day in America. I hope everyone stopped to think about the tragic event that took on this day. We must never forget!!!

In Atlanta, we are experiencing the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. It has rained ALL day and we have wind gusts of 60 mph. Lots of trees down and many without power, but so far we are very fortunate. I am very thankful for that!

I am playing along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge today. There are so many ways to play! I love these boards!

I played along with the outside column--acetate, dimension, and gold.

My card is created on a white card base. I added a piece of gold foil and white striped background paper to the white base. I cut a piece of white card stock with a stitched rectangle border. A circle die was used to cut the circle for the shaker portion of my card. The sentiment is stamped in black using the MFT Written in the Stars stamp set. The gold glitter "Stars" and the little stars are cut using the Shining Stars die set by MFT. I used a MFT Circle Shaker Pouch to hold the gold stars, white beads and clear sequins. A gold foil circle frame was cut to outline the pouch. A few glittery gold stars were added for fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Hope you are having a great day!

HUGS!

My card is created on a white card base. I used the Reverse Confetti Swoosh Panel cover to cut the Elegant Eggplant frame. The background was created using a variety of distress inks. After I smooched the distress inks on the watercolor paper, I used the same die to cut out the pieces to fill in the frame. The leaves were stamped in Bermuda Bay, Elegant Eggplant and Hello Honey inks from Stampin' Up! I used the SugarPea Designs Lovely Leaves stamp set. I cut them out with the matching dies. The sentiment is stamped on vellum with black ink from the same stamp set. Wink of Stella was added on the leaves for shine.
