Basketful of Daisies – #TTTC217

Happy Thursday!  Happy Tic Tac Toe Challenge day!  It’s my turn to create a fun and hopefully, challenging board to get your creatives juices flowing.  I think there’s some fun elements to work with…

So I had a bunch of stamps and dies on my desk while trying to decide which direction I would go here.  And here’s where it took me…

I chose the third row across: Gingham, Floral, Insect

Most of the products used here are from my stash or retired Stampin’ Up.  The basket is a large red rubber on a wooden block that I’ve had since I first started stamping 23 years ago.  It was probably purchased at a Rubber Stamp store (remember those?) and probably while I was on vacation somewhere.  I used to scout those stores out wherever we went!  It’s cut with the Scan n Cut around the outside and hand cut on the inside of the handle.  I popped it up with dimensionals on the card front after coloring it with Stampin’ Blends.

To create the texture on the daisies, I embossed a piece of white card with the Subtles Embossing Folder (retired SU) and then punched the flowers using the Medium Daisy punch (also retired SU).

Lastly, how cute are those little bees buzzing on and around the flowers?  I bought these on amazon along with ladybugs.

Thanks for coming by today.  I hope you’ll head on over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see the terrific cards my fellow teammates created for this week’s challenge.

Take care,

Rosanne
