Happy Wednesday!! It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built. It's one of my favorites: Tic Tac Toe:
Pick any row, column, or diagonal, or maybe challenge yourself to use all of the squares!! Here is the card I created:
I used the center row: yellow, paper piecing, and vellum. I also used polk-a-dots. I won this background die within the last couple of weeks and for some reason, I've had this card in mind since I won it. And I just love how it turned out. The cat image is one of my newest Repeat Impressions stamps and this is the first time I've inked it up. I stamped the image on a scrap of white card stock and then again on a piece of brown paper bag (or maybe packaging) that I had in my stash for some reason. Some of the other Rock Stars have done this technique before and it is really genius. After coloring the cat and adding a little shading to the bag, I cut them out and pieced them together. I stamped the sentiment on vellum and heat embossed it with black embossing powder. Then I backed the squares with patterned paper and adhered the cat with foam tape for some really fun dimension. Finished everything off with some enamel dots. In the following picture, you can see the dimension a bit more.
Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Curiosity Cat" and "The Cat's Out. . ."

What a great die to win - I can see you using that a lot. Love this stamp - reminds me of my kitty Nikki (she lived to be 16). Tic Tac Toe is one of my favorite challenges.
Stunning and fun card, congrats on your win, like this die - so versatile!
Wow! Great idea to use that die, Heather. You created such an adorable card with it and the images. Using a piece of paperbag is a perfect detail. Cute, cute card.

This is a brilliant arrangement - the color-blocking perfectly sets off the stamps, and the little tail sticking up is so funny! Good luck in the HeARTful Stamping Challenge!
