Ahh… midweek! The weather was much nicer here today. Sunny, well the sun tried to come out as much as it could! I spent some time with Daniel, we had pizza for lunch. I also did some cleaning and crafting just like I said that I would. Got some more cards listed on my Etsy store and even got to chat with Michael for a while. I also went up to Michaels and met Taylor and Keira, Taylor called to tell me that they have gotten lots of new goodies in and I had to go and see what they were! If you haven’t been to a Michaels in a while you are in for a pleasant surprise! All in all a pretty good day. Later on today I’m going to run over to Scrap-A-Latte and get ready for tomorrow’s Lawn Fawn class and catch up with Renee! Hopefully the weather will cooperate and I can ride over there with the top down!
Wednesday and that means that it’s time for another Paper Craft Crew challenge! This week we have a Tic-Tac-Toe board…
I used one of my favorite new sets from Hero Arts! My card base for today is Ivory 110lb Card Stock. Down the left side is a piece of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. My orchid and greeting are from the Hero Arts Color Layering Orchid in a Pot Photopolymer Stamp Set. I stamped all of the images with my MISTI on Crumb Cake. The first layer of the Orchid is stamped in Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink, Next is some Teeny Bikini and then I used a Prismacolor Yellow Pencil to color in the centers. The stem is stamped in Simon Says Stamp Green Apple ink along with the first layer of the leaves. The second leaf layer is stamped in Green Leaf and the the third in Olive. My pot is stamped in Schoolhouse Red and the dirt in Khaki. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut them all out and adhered them to the card with Multi-Matte Medium. My greeting is stamped in Teeny Bikini and I added some Pretty Pink Posh Ballerina Pink, Lime Sorbet, Sand and Lemon Drop Sequins around the plant for a little sparkle! I do love my sequins! LOL! I hope that you like my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew Tic-Tac-Toe challenge!

What a fun card Justin! Looking at the photo the leaves look like they are made of velvet. So neat! The band of glitter paper – well, I can’t say enough for that since I’m called the Glitter Queen around here. LOL Mix all the ingredients as you did and you came out with a fabulous card. I just love it!
You are lucky that Taylor works at Michael’s and can give you the heads up. I haven’t been there in ages and they are having some great sales this week. I really don’t need a thing but who can pass up a wonderful sale right? You have yourself a Whimsical Wednesday and have fun at Scrap-A-Latte with Renee. Love and hugs to you my friend! XXOO 🙂
Thank you Grace! I love the way things look stamped on Crumb Cake, especially white! I thought that you might enjoy the strip of glitter! LOL!
I hope that Taylor always works at Michaels! LOL! I enjoy the heads up but the discount is better! Do any of us need anything?! LOL! Nope, but once we get there and see we do! I enjoyed my day and hope you did too! Love and hugs right back at ya! XOXO 🙂
