Hello, Gorgeous

Happy Wednesday!!  It's time for another challenge from The House That Stamps Built.  This week we have a fun Tic Tac Toe board for you:

  

Here is what I created for your inspiration:

I used the left column: Piercing, Off the Edge, Dew Drops

You can't see it in this photo, my oval die cut is pierced around the edge.  You can see it better in the photo below and definitely in the last one in the post.

I don't know why this keeps happening to my on tic tac toe challenges, but once again, I got creating and having a blast and all of a sudden, I realized I hadn't checked the board to make sure I was using the proper elements.  Ugh!  Luckily, I already had the piercing.  My butterfly is off the edge of the panels and the "gorgeous" die cut is off the edges of the oval die cut, and also the edge of the card.  Then I just had to add the dew drops.  I don't have any of those so I used some clear droplets from Kat Scrappiness.  I heat embossed the "Hello" with white embossing powder and die cut "gorgeous" from white card stock I colored in an ombre of pinks to match the butterfly.  To finish everything off, I added black nuvo shimmer pen and clear wink of stella to the butterfly for some fabulous sparkle.  You can see it in the photo below (along with the piercing on the oval): 

The idea for this card started with a sketch and the oval die cut which was in my bits and pieces stash.  The butterfly was stamped and fussy cut from a piece of scrap card stock and all the black elements was cut from the leftovers from cutting the card base.
