MEDITERRANEAN BLOOMS GET WELL CARD – #TTTC274

Welcome to Tic Tac Toe Thursday! It feels so good to be back designing for the challenge. I feel such a connection to this challenge as I was one of the original designers way back when Felicita initiated the challenge in 2017. I took a break now and then but still participated as a challenger. So yes, the TTTC and I have history! HERE’S the very first challenge back in 2017.

And here’s my card…

So let’s take a look at today’s challenge board…

There’s a lot of fun elements here to spark your creativity. I chose to go two ways – 1st column down: Foliage, Layers, Flowers & middle row across: Layers, Free, Summer Colors.

Here’s the details…

The Basic White card base is a standard A2 card, cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.

The Daffodil Delight panel is cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 to give a 1/8 margin around. This panel is embossed using the retired Tasteful Textile embossing folding for some added dimension.

The next layer is a pattern from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper. I first glued a panel to a piece of Basic White card stock and then die cut it with a large die from the Mediterranean Blooms dies. This gave the panel some “heft” and a little dimension without using dimensionals.

Before gluing this panel to the card front, I wrapped a bit of ribbon around. Full disclosure: I make the bow separately and adhere it with glue dots.

The orange images are die cut from the DSP. Again, using the same dies, I cut a few from thick card stock and layered to the image for dimension.

The heat embossed sentiment is from a stash of sentiments that I keep. When I come across a generic sentiment that I know I’ll use often, I take some time to stamp and cut a few just to have on hand and ready to go. I found this to be super helpful and time-saving when creating.

Lastly, I added a few sequins from my stash.

Here’s a peek inside…

The inside sentiment is from the long retired, _______ stamp set but expresses just what I wanted to say.

I hope you’ll head over to the Tic Tac Toe Challenge to see what my teammates created. I also hope that you’ll find some inspiration and join us!

Take care,
