Tic Tac Toe Challenge #075

Hello friends.  I'm happy to report that Hurricane Isaias was downgraded to a tropical storm overnight and turned out to be just a small blip on our radar.  Florida is now back down to only one State of Emergency. *shameful eyeroll*

Today I'm sharing another card I created yesterday during my productive pre-hurricane crafting session.  This card was inspired by this week's board over at the TicTacToe challege blog. 

For whatever reason I just wasn't in the mood for water, pool or sun (probably due to our weather) so I went for the middle row of blue, square and flower.

I started by die cutting the square of flowers from a both a blue card stock panel as well as a scrap piece of white card stock.  Fortunately for me, this die has all sixteen flowers embedded in it so there was no measuring involved.  I only needed the negative space for this design so I set the blue flowers aside for another project.  I created a stitched border panel in silver and adhered the smaller blue panel to its center.  I inlaid the white flowers back into the two middle rows but chose to pop up the top and bottom rows of flowers with foam dots to create some dimension.  I used a two piece sentiment die to create a stacked sentiment in blue and silver.  For the finishing touches I added silver gems to the centers of the popped up flowers.  Here's a closer look at the details.

Supplies:
Fun Stampers Journey - Tattered Blooms die
Altenew - Bold Thanks die set
Tonic Studios - Sliver Silk card stock
HAI- Silver Crystal gems

Stay safe and healthy my friends!
