The Paper Players #779

Ann was in charge of setting up a Tic Tac Toe board for The Paper Players this week which happens when there are five Sundays in a month.  

There are so many great options to choose from. I went on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right - circle, flowers, sentiment.


I started with Cosmos Bunch from PFS thinking I would do an eclipse card.  I changed my mind and cut a circle from a Masking Magic A2 panel.  The flowers in the center of the circle were stenciled with Altenew inks and then Arctic ink was brushed around the edges.  The panel was trimmed to add a border of green and then the BetterPress sentiment added.  I like the softness you get with the masking as opposed to cutting a circle from the center and popping it up.  

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Amazing and beautiful, I just love the softness of this. The subtle inking and spotlight is perfect, even the blue behind the flowers.

Gorgeous, Bobby! The coloring is so soft and subtle. You executed the spotlight technique perfectly. If I received this card, I would frame it! Thank you for playing in my Tic-Tac-Toe challenge at The Paper Players!

Bobby, this is literally a bobby-dazzler of a card! I love it. The image itself is really pretty but the way you've spotlighted it with soft colour makes it just wonderful. Thanks for joining in with us this week at The Paper Players.

Gorgeous, Bobby. I love that you went with a soft, subtle color scheme and allowed those fabulous florals to shine in black. Fabulous. So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week
