This is a first – I’ve created a card that complies with the rules of two challenges! The Paper Players and CAS on Sunday. Both challenges are tic tac toe and I’ve used birthday, embossing and flower for the Paper Players and Birthday, Black and white plus one colour and embossing for CAS on Sunday.

Here are the grid from each:

CAS on Sunday

The Paper Players

I heat embossed the flower image in using black embossing powder onto whisper white card stock – don’t forget your embossing buddy. I then used my aquapainter and minimal water to colour in the flower using rich razzleberry. I started colouring each petal in the centre so that the colour faded a little towards the edge. The sentiment is from the Endless Birthday Wishes set – new if you’re not in the US but a photopolymer set from a few months ago if you are – and is also stamped in rich razzleberry. The whisper white is then mounted onto a cardbase of rich razzleberry.  I’m continuing to use up my Backgrounds DSP stash lining the back of the envelope flaps. The fact that I still have some of the Backgrounds DSP left (in every colour family) of course hasn’t stopped me from ordering the new patterns today!

Lately I’ve been publishing posts later in the day that I used to; I’m happy to have this one scheduled at the “usual” time, because I’m starting at a new job today. It’s been a great six months between jobs – especially the language learning in Barcelona – but now it’s time to get back to work.

See you tomorrow,
