Hello, this fine beautiful spring day! Today I'm Guest Designer at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week's Challenge is #163 and I chose the middle row - Birds/Ribbon/Add Texture. While making this card I was thinking of the tiny little chickadees and finches who visit our birdfeeders all winter and into spring. I haven't seen them for a couple of weeks, so I'm assuming they're nesting and finding plenty to eat.
I began with a white side-folded card base and a white panel that I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder and die-cut with a stitched rectangular die. I wondered what would happen if I embossed a pattern and then colored the high points with Copic markers, so I experimented with another embossed panel. I liked the simplicity and decided to keep the card simple and sweet and wanted to use the ribbon as a closure with a tag. The sentiment is from PTI's "Winter Hills", and the tag is die-cut from the same collection of stitched rectangles as I used for the panels - Dare 2B Artzy "Rectangle Framelits". I attached the top colored panel with pale green mat to the card with dimensional foam and threaded the satin ribbon through a punched hole at the edge of the top panel. The sentiment says it all!
It's been a pleasure to make this special card for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge and I look forward to seeing everyone else's beautiful cards.
