This week's tic-tac-toe colours are based on the gorgeous Backyard Bliss Scrapbooking Workshop Kit colours. 

I love this set because it has CHICKENS!!!!!!!!!! I love chickens. I have 6 backyard chickens. 

I was making an 18th Birthday card for a teenage boy, so pulled out the coloured cardstock for the Top Row - Sapphire, Sage, and Silver (I like the ring to that!). 

I also used the woodgrain paper that was available when I made the card but has sold out since. Bummer... Use your stash and find a woodgrain paper or other neutral cardstock for the numbers. 

This is a 12x6 piece of Sage Cardstock to create the 6x6 sized card. Then I did the a 5.25 inch square of the Sapphire Cardstock (but I think I might have cut it slightly smaller. Then I cut a 5x5 Silver Glitter Paper to back the Woodgrain paper. The woodgrain was cut with the Cricut and stuck to the glitter with 3-D Foam Tape.

Super simple, easy to re-create card. I hope you like it. 

I didn't realise my photo had a shadow of my hand on the bottom right hand corner but I have gifted the card already so I can't take another!

Colour Dare #508 - Six Pack

A brand new catalogue launched a few days ago so I wanted to use brand new stamp sets for this challenge. I pulled out all the cardstock in the challenge but settled on Avocado Cardstock and Mulberry Cardstock. 

I used Mulberry Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and stamped with the dashed lines from Background Elements. I filled in the space stamping over and over. 

I also used this above stamp set to stamp the dots on the top half of the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack in Mulberry Ink also. 

Then used New England Ivy Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad (which is WSL because the colour is retiring at the end of this month) and stamped on the Avocado Cardstock (lighter side) with the You Deserve It All Stamp + Thin Cuts. I used my Big Shot to cut out the shapes. This present stamp set is for pull up cards but I cut off the pull up part and stuck the lid on permanently (no movement). 

I then stamped with New England Ivy Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad and the Background Elements for the X's along a thin strip of Avocado cardstock on the darker side.  

I used this same stamp set for the Happy Birthday that I stamped on White Daisy Cardstock strip with New England Ivy Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad (WSL) and then used my 

Micro-tip Scissors to dove-tail the pennant banner. I used the New England Ivy Ink to ink up the edges by running the paper over the stamp pad. 

I love how much texture this card has from this must have new stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue.
