The House That Stamps Built- Tic-Tac Toe

Tic-Tac-Toe time at the House, one of my favorites!

 

 

 

 

 

I went diagonally from the bottom left to the top right,  choosing soft pastels,

polka dots and a stitched die version circle die. I also used a fun fold to

jazz up the card.

Happy Anniversary

I made this card today for my brother and sister-in-law's anniversary.  I've been playing

with the new pearlized alcohol inks and this background did not need

much.  I stamped Stamping Sensations Lillies and an Anniversary

sentiment from Verve.  It is difficult to see the pearlized effect in

the picture but it is amazing in real life.

 

Have a fabulous week!

The House That Stamps Built: Inspiration Palette Challenge

 

Wendy has a fun Inspiration Photo this week at The House:

 

 

I thought that this darling rabbit Ode to Spring fit the photo well.

I did lots of inking with this one and really appreciated my Misti. First

I inked the rabbit with ink and stamped him/her.  Then I used my Tim Holtz

Distress markers to color and stamp the flowers and grass. Die cut

layers and flowers also Tim Holtz.

 

I hope the photo or colors inspire you to join in with our challenge,
