NOVEMBER 2017 TIC, TAC, TOE CHALLENGE AT THE HOUSE THAT STAMPS BUILT

Hey there, house friends!  

Welcome to the November Tic, Tac, Toe challenge at The House That Stamps Built blog.  These challenges are always fun to play around with because of the choices and the creative opportunities they offer.  At least that's what I think about them.  

I had some fun creating this card, using Distress Ink Oxide inks, water and some smooshing on a watercolor paper panel.  After it was dry, I used stamps from the RI#10000 "Thanks" Series and stamped over the colored panel.  Once that was complete, I used a wonky stitch die and cut the panel.  To accent the sentiment, I thought it would be fun to use the long die from RI Flip Stitch Die Set and partially cut the "Thanks" portion of the sentiment out of the panel.  I then sprayed the colored cs panel with some glitter spray I had, mounted the cut Thanks panel on dimension tape and remounted it back in place on the panel.  

Here's the TTT Challenge board.  Just select 3 items in an up/down or diagonal direction and create a card or project from what you've selected.  I went horizontally across the center.  "Water Colors, Stitching, Thanks".  

All the detail can be found at THE HOUSE.  I hope you'll join in on the fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS PAINT RINGS

Hi there Junkie friends!  

I am catching up on some posts.  I missed participating in last week's new release (November Stamps) blog hop for Technique Junkies Stamps.  In case you haven't heard about the horrific wind storm that hit this area of Maine last weekend, the coast of Maine and much of Central Maine have been without power for several days.  As I write this, there are still areas without power.  

One of the cards I created for the hop uses the stamp set "Paint Rings"  from the November release and "Merry Christmas 2" .

Using a white cs panel, I stamped the image twice using my MISTI stamp positioner, moving the image about 1/8 inch each time.  First stamping was done with VersaMark Ink and heat embossed with white ep, Moving the stamp I stamped it again with Archival Black Ink.  The inner areas of each circle were watercolored with watercolor paints, as was the outside area around the circles.  After it dried, mounted it against a gold cs panel and then ran them through an embossing folder and created a "florish" design.  The sentiment was heat embossed with white ep as well.  For a final detail, I added some tiny dots of glitter with my Viva glitter glue pen.  

I hope you found some inspiration here and enjoyed the blog hop.
