Marvelous

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 diagonal: sponging, autumn colors and leaves.  I also completed the bottom row: off the edge (my top left leaf hangs off the edge of the card), text background and leaves)

I lucked out on this one!  My mother-in-law has borrowed my small leaf dies, so I don't have them on hand to use.  Luckily, a couple years ago, I had die cut a bunch of leaves for a card project I did with the kids in our Sunday School.  They were not die cut out of the prettiest card stock (if you know what I mean . . .), but with a little ink sponging around the edges, they turned out beautifully!  I inked on some orange ink on the yellow leaves and red ink onto the orange Maple leaves.  I happened to have some pretty plaid paper that matched perfectly!  I stamped, colored and fussy cut out the acorns and attached them to my leaves with a little tiny twine bow.  I did a little sponging around the edge of my sentiment circle with some Antique Linen Distress ink before stamping my sentiment and finishing it all off with some little, tiny, orange rhinestones.  I love how the leaves pop!

Thanks for stopping by!  Make sure you head on over to The House blog to see what the rest of the Design Team has done with this photo.  And if you "need" any of the stamps I used, check out my 10% off your entire order coupon code over in my lift sidebar.
