Blended Harvest Birthday - Stampin' Up! Nature's Harvest - Paper Players 556

 Sunday again and that brings us around to a new Paper Players challenge!  This week Jaydee has given us a fun Tic Tac Toe board for inspiration!  Just like the game, pick any 3 down, across or diagonal and use those squares to make your card!

  My card uses the left hand down column; feminine, birthday and florals.

  I ended up making multiples of this design to use for customer thank yous as I was so pleased with how it turned out.  I usually send my customers a blank thank you card with a hand written note on loose paper (so they can use it) but I thought they might like to get a different kind of card as a thank you this month.  Birthday and thank you are my most often needed cards.

  I loved using the blending brushes and Polished Pink and Pale Papaya inks for the background.  The flower outline stamp from Nature's Harvest is simply stamped on top of the blended inks in Memento black for a great way to show off some color and a detailed stamp.

  I used a Basic Black base to set off the lighter colors and then accented with some sequins and Pale Papaya open weave ribbon.

  The narrow die cut is from the Harvest dies and the sentiment die cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

  I can't wait to see which Tic Tac Toe line you use for your card.  To see more inspiration from the Design Team head over to their blogs:
