Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #3

Hello!  Today I'm so happy to be sharing a card I made for the Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #3.  This was a really fun board use.  I chose to do the diagonal: love, paperclip, sketch. 
The light bulb is a shaped paperclip that my sweet friend Jeanne included in this kit last year.  I'm so glad I finally got a chance to use it! :) I had so much fun making this card.  I really wanted the sentiment to stand out, so I kept the card white and just embossed dots on the diagonal strip of paper to create the layer needed for the sketch.  This view shows it a little better.
I built the sentiment with Winnie & Walter's "The Big, the Bold, and the Happy" and Lawn Fawn's "Milo's ABC's".  To create the rectangular color blocks, I simply put one of the alphabet stamps backwards on my acrylic block and stamped using the back of the image.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I look forwarding to seeing what you create with Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #3!

  14. Eep, now I have to get paperclips like that! Who knew? And I have lots of "light" sediments that would work. This is fabulous inspiration, Lindsey, especially the cool way you colored the word!! It's fun to play on the team with you this week!! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
