It's time for the September 2020 Challenge over at The Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge! For this month's challenge designed by Anne-Marie Maclean, you can select any three of the design elements in a row on the board going in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal direction. I have chosen the vertical row of Layers | Blending | Gems.
I loved creating the blended leaves, squares and sentiment for this challenge inspiration! These were actually created towards of the end of a previous card thus the softer, muted colors. The 1-3/8" squares were cut from scraps and then die cut. You can click here to read about the coloring technique and how the leaves were colored with the blended ink. The squares were colored similarly as an after thought as I couldn't see the ink going to waste! The sentiment was also stamped with the ink and fussy cut.
For the inside, the card layer was die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies with the border randomly pressed against the baby wipe. An additional leaf was inked and adhered with liquid glue. And, yes, the envelope was also stamped for sneak peek of what's inside!
I hope that today's project has inspired you to participate in The Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe Challenge, #JOSTTT021. Please be sure to pop over to receive more inspiration from the other design team members and I look forward to seeing your entry (entries) on the blog!
Have a blessed day!

ReplyDeleteLove the beautifully colored squares and leaves, and the way you laid out the squares with the stitched outline around the ones on the right looks really awesome!
