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!
