Bingo card/Tic-Tac-Toe card challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond

For this week's challenge at Back to Basics and Beyond, you are to make a Bingo card/Tic-Tac-Toe card. I used Pink, Tag, and Twine.

Bingo Card or Tic-Tac-Toe

To use 1 line with 3 elements in any direction

PINK	PEARLS	LACE
TAG	FLOWERS	CHARM
TWINE	BLUE	BUTTONS

Stamp by Picket Fence Studios
Sentiment by Unity Stamp Company

For my card, I got out my gel press and I smeared some pink acrylic paint on it and then I had this little tool that is like a comb and I pressed it into the gel plate to make these lines. I colored the girl with my watercolor paints. I made my tag and added some twine at the top and around the tag itself. I hope you'll join us in our challenge at BBB.

Happy Bird-Day!

It's been awhile since I used vellum on a card. You can barely see it here, but it's a half circle. I cut it using my Gina Marie Designs x-stitched oval die then glued it onto the card. For the background I was playing around with my Copics refills and Yupo paper. I colored the flamingos with copic markers then added a little Stickles to their wings. I stamped the sentiment onto the vellum using Staz-On ink. That's the only ink I could get to dry without smearing!

Hello

I love this stamp set by Taylored Expressions and find that I don't use it enough. I decided to use it for this challenge at Color Throwdown this week using the different Oxide ink colors. The "Hello" is a die but I don't recall from where or who makes it.

Celebrate You

For this card, I drew this bear onto watercolor paper. I took Kristina Warner's watercolor class last summer and learned so much about watercolor and drawing! I added little white dots to his bow tie using a white Uni-Ball Signo Pen.

Merry Christmas (even though its March 1st) lol

Happy March 1st!! Here it is March 1st and I dug out this new Christmas die I found on sale at Hobby Lobby last week. I've had my eye on it for awhile but at $24.99, I said no way. THEN, I just happened to see it marked down to $6.24. I could not pass it up. It's by Spellbinders.

For the background, I got out my gel press and put some acrylic paint on it, then swiped the paint over it using an old credit card to get this look. It kind of reminds me of a sunset :). Then I stamped the sentiment into Versamark and then added white embossing powder so it would stand out on the black. I am entering this in the following challenges this week:
