You Are So Loved


The Color Dare Challenge #277 is a color challenge with Tic-Tac-Toe as a twist. I am making valentines for a few family members so decided to proceed with that although there are no pinks or reds in the color choices.
A panel of patterned paper was adhered to a black card base. A panel of cardstock was lightly stamped, and along with another small panel, was torn across the bottom edge and adhered to the card. The punched flowers were covered with Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear powder for a shiny finish. The flowers were adhered with foam tape and decorated with gray pearls. The inside of the card was lined with a panel of white cardstock and heat embossed punched flowers.
Here is the Tic-Tac-Toe grid for Challenge 277. I used more than one direction but was inspired by the center horizontal row: Fern, White Daisy, Charcoal.  I added optional colors of Black, Glacier and Heather.

Please join us at Color Dare for this new biweekly challenge beginning Friday, January 26.
