Tic Tac Toe for Seize the Birthday

 


Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Glenda has chosen a fun tic tac toe for us.

You can always play along with our anything goes birthday theme too.


My team mates and our party guests Julia and Bonnie have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.

I went the extra mile in challenging myself with the middle column, one layer, CAS and ocean colours.
I don't often create one layer cards as I usually muck something up and have to start again,
 or I want to add a diecut sentiment!

The masked edges of the blended panel were a tiny bit blotchy so I drew a black border with a fineliner.

I'm linking up to these challenges:


Simon Says Stamp Monday, add a sentiment
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday, beautiful blooms


Supplies:
Distress oxides in blues; Simon Says Stamp Sketched Flower stamp; versamark ink & liquid platinum ep; Stampin Up sentiment from retired set so happy for you; versafine nocturne ink & clear ep.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
