The weather men were right for a change, it turned out to be a very nice sunny day here! I think Spring may have finally come! We had a busy day at the Store with Renee, Angie and I all working on projects. I had a little dinner with the folks when I got home and then had a nice relaxing evening. I did start watching 13 Reason Why on Netflix, it’s a pretty good show and I think that it should be required for all teenagers to see. Maybe we would all be a little nicer to each other. It’s sad but sometimes we need to see that the way we treat other people can have lasting repercussions. Today will be spent organizing paperwork, I need to get my tax stuff together! 😀
It’s time now for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge and we have a fun Tic-Tac-Toe Board from LeAnne…
To start my card I stamped the shirt, pants and flowers from the April My Monthly Hero Kit in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored them in with my Copics and used the Coordinating Dies to cut them out. I also stamped the head and feet onto a Post-it note and cut them out with my Scissors. The Hero Arts Paper Layering Eiffel Tower Die is cut from Kraft. I placed the images and Eiffel Tower onto a card base of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock to decided where I needed to stamp the head and feet for the girl. Once they were stamped I removed all of the pieces and added the masks over the stamped images on the card. Using my Mini Ink Blending Tool I added Hero Arts Soft Pool and Green Hills Ink, a piece of Post-it Tape helps give me the nice crisp line between the colors. Next I removed the masks and adhered the pants, shirt and flowers too the card. The Eiffel Tower was adhered after I added the lace to the top of the card with Multi-Matte Medium. All that was left to do was to add the greeting, also from the April My Monthly Hero Kit and also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black. I do really like the images in the kit, they sort of remind me of vintage Barbie! I hope that you enjoyed my Design Team card for this week’s Stamp, Ink, Paper Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge from LeAnne!

This is a really cute card, Justin. I love the Eiffel Tower with the girl, who looks like Audrey Hepburn, paired with a perfect greeting. Your coloring is superb as always. YES! Spring is finally here. Have a great day!
Thanks HJ! Yes, the girl does look like Audrey!! The Eiffel Tower in nice, a little different than the other ones that I have! 🙂
Love, love, love this card Justin and the stamp set reminds me of paper dolls. I loved playing with paper dolls as a child. Your placement is perfect and I have to agree with HJ that your coloring IS superb! What a fun card.
Yes Justin, spring has arrived. How do I know? The hubs had me put the insurance back on his 1940 truck. He and his antique auto friends are all impatiently waiting to get their “babies” back on the road. It’s so funny. You have yourself a Tantalizing Tuesday my friend. Love & Hugs to you, XXOO 🙂
Thanks Grace! I like the set too, and it does remind me of paper dolls too!
I’ll bet that is a really nice truck!! My Dad is doing things with his 67 LTD! Love and hugs to you! XOXO 🙂
Great card Justin! What a great stamp set. It’s like playing with paper dolls when I was a kid.
Thanks Gerri! I do love the set, different! 🙂
I was wondering if you purchased this set. When I first saw it I was like, “oh, not me” but I get the monthly kit and I love it!!!!
LOl, My hubby has been sitting on the couch all evening working on our taxes. Complaining the whole time. I offered to quit work, that just made him grumble even more.
I always get the Hero Kits, they are always really good! Always something fun to o with them!
Taxes are not fun! LOL! It’s nice that you try to help out! LOL! 🙂
