Encircled Hello



It's time for another challenge! Color My Heart Color Dare #357 is a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge based on the grid below. I selected the bottom row - Glacier, Peach and Sapphire, using white as my neutral. This biweekly challenge is open from Friday, August 23 through Wednesday, September 4, 2019.


In addition, I followed the layout for Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #330, a weekly challenge that is already underway through Sunday, August 25, 2019.


The sentiment, flowers and leaves were die cut. A panel of patterned paper was adhered to a white card base. Next, a smaller panel of cardstock was adhered to a white panel and adhered to the card base with foam tape. The banners were cut with the smaller one adhered using foam tape then lightly sponged with ink. The die cut elements were added along with the pearls. The inside was decorated with patterned paper and another die cut flower.


Please take a look at both challenge blogs and play along! Here are the links:
CMHCD357 and AHSC330.

  3. Wow, nice pop with your flowers against the sapphire background. Nice interpretation of the sketch, a different vendor for the floral die, and great selection of design papers and love the flair.
