TIC TAC TOE at Die Cut Divas

 Hi there - it's time to me to share my card for our challenge at Die Cut Divas.   Our sponsor this month is Joy Clair Designs

and we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge

I chose to use the right hand side - at least 2 layers, colour yellow. flowers

I have 3 layers (not including the base) - my first layer is the yellow matting...on top of this is  a white embossed layer.  I printed the Joy Clair image and used a used a Spellbinder die to cut it out.  For my colour yellow - my little bird and the flower - was the one the bird's mouth.  The heartfelt sentiment is also from the Joy Clair set which is "Refresh the Soul"  I printed it before doing the embossing. 

As you read this, I will have arrived home from my two weeks away in Perth Australia.  I left on the 10th and arrived back very early this morning.  It's ANZAC day here in New Zealand and Austraila, celebrating and remembering those who have fought in World Wars and other arenas where our miltary have served.  

Card Chain Challenge - December Reveal

 I took part in the December Card Chain Challenge and got to send a card to my dear friend, Arlene, in California.  

As well as the usual themes we also had a Tic Tac Toe board to use

I chose the right hand side - washi tape, blue and emboss it. 

My washi was some pretty Poinsettia tape, my blue was both the shimmery card stock and the colouring on my Gnome and Emboss it was the folder I used to emboss the blue card.   And I got my Christmas card for Arlene done at the same time.   Saved me postage for sure.    Added bonus, that Arlene loved it!  She had made a number of Gnome cards for her family so this one suited well. 

It's such fun taking part in the Card Chain Challenge... always a bonus to get card from anywhere in the world.   Still time to join the January sign up  (here)
