Today's Challenge is Tic Tac Toe

- I Chose - Buttons, Teal, Shape -

I just LOOOVE how this turned out.... SO cute! :)

-- Info on my Card --

I made the card using the Gina Marie Banners die set... I

offset the banner die on my folded cardstock & cut it out on my sizzix machine.  I did the same thing with the layered piece, so it would sit perfectly... I then added my Elephant stamped image & String stamps... I masked off the Elephant so I could do the background coloring of the sky with some Tumbled glass then I cut out a cloud shape and used that as a mask to create the cloud effect using the salty ocean ink 

I used some Twisted Citron & Mowed Lawn to create the grass look

Then I took the Grass stamp and added it to the bottom

Once the background was done... I took the mask off the elephant and colored him in with my Copic Markers - C1, C3, C5, E02

Found some buttons in my stash added some twine & glued them

right where the string lines are - Finished it off with the Celebrate Sentiment from the Ellie stamp set
