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 chose the middle row: Stitching, black and white +1 other color, and ribbon/twine. My whole color scheme was influenced by a bit of bright orange ribbon I had in my bits and pieces stash. I planned to use it for the band across the center of the card. But I adhered it with sticky tape and I didn't quite get it on right, so I tried to peel it off to re-align and it created all sorts of pulls in the ribbon. So, I trashed that and went on creating my card using a strip of card stock instead. After I got all finished, I realized that the row I chose had to include ribbon and I hadn't used any and didn't really have any place to use it! Uggghhh . . . Luckily, I had a tiny piece of the ribbon left, so I used it to create a little ribbon pull along the side of the image panel. Phew . . . disaster averted! I used a black nuvo glitter pen on all the black elements of the image and clear Wink of Stella on the colored portions. You can see the sparkle (mostly on the black) in the photo below. The patterned paper also has some sparkle in the black lines, so this is quite sparkly in real life.
Supplies:
Stamps: Repeat Impressions "Flower Power Background" and "Because"
Dies: Spellbinders "Radiant Rectangles"; Verve "Classy Labels"; PTI border die; MFT "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle

How very pretty - love the black and white with your various oranges, makes a really striking card. And oh I see that little piece of orange ribbon that you got tucked in there. Stampers are so creatie.
Absolutely gorgeous card, Heather! I love the elegant swirls in the background and the pop of orange! The glitter and rhinestones add the perfect finishing touch!
Gosh, we all have days like this! And your card turned out beautifully - we'd never have known you were having a crisis!!! Great job, Heather!!!
Very pretty - like all the added bling and how you added the ribbon as a pull along on the side.
A super bright and bold floral creation, many thanks for sharing and joining in with our 'Spring' theme at Penny Black and More challenge.

I love the colours you used in this awesome card. Thank you for sharing your creation at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge.
Such a striking, cheery card with the orange pops of color, and enjoyed reading your post, sounds like something I have done before!
Wow, love your colour scheme here and the fact that it all started from that piece of orange ribbon that proved a problem! - I think it's fascinating how our minds work and one thing just leads to another in crafting - this happens to me quite a lot! Many thanks for joining us at Penny Black and More Challenges xxx
