A Twofer today. For the Tic Tac Challenge, I have this Valentine card:
The background is created using the Alcohol Marker Marbling technique (tutorial here on SCS). I used three different pink alcohol markers and followed the steps in the tutorial.
I added a die cut heart and sentiment to it, trimmed the panel, and popped it up on fun foam.
I now have a ton of tiny white hearts - wondering what to do with those....
I will need a birthday card for a nephew in March so The Male Room challenge ("For a Teenager") got me to get it made in plenty of time. And I'll add it to Seize the Birthday ("Embossing" - I used embossing paste).
Love this crazy owl with his one large eye and one small eye! Stamped, coloured, and fussy cut the owl, the hat, and the gift. Popped them up on the background (I used embossing paste through a stencil and, when dry, I sprayed it blue), and added a sentiment on a banner.
Tic Tac Toe Challenge (I used the left hand vertical row)
