Join us! It is TIC TAC TOE week at The Paper Players. Claire is challenging us to pick a row, diagonal or column from the Tic Tac Toe board above, and create a card. This week, I decided to focus on the right diagonal: LEAVES, DIE, and DOTS or SEQUINS. I used Tim Holtz' funky leaf set (I believe Altenew has a funky leaf set too). The leaves are die cut from cardstock I sprayed with metallic sprays, one of my favorite inking techniques. Leaves are mounted on kraft cardstock with gold, heat embossed edges and sentiment. Gold metallic dots were the final touch.
Keeping with my New Year resolution, I made three copies of this card. My goal in making this resolution was to have more cards to donate. This type of general card is put aside for friends. Whenever I need a "thank you", I bundle five cards up in an acetate A2 box with a simple ribbon. The boxes can be purchased on Amazon.
Check out our fabulous guest designers as well as the rest of the design team. These ladies work hard to inspire you each week. Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.
Enjoy! I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

Elizabeth, these leaves are beautiful! I love that you used metallic spray to create them. The gold embossed sentiment and panel are lovely! I love the kraft background for Fall! Thank you for making my challenge shine this week! HUGS!
Elizabeth your sprayed leaves adds a lovely realistic touch and your tumble of leaves is so evocative of fall. That sentiment is my favourite though - so perfect for the season!
That funky leaf set is highly desirable and I wish I had it! Great colour choices - and the neutral background is the perfect choice to show them off! Love this!
These sprayed leaves have such an amazing depth of color, Elizabeth. They are fun and funky and I LOVE the "veins". The touches of gold are the perfect accents. I would love to own a set like this!
Fantastic funky leaves, Elizabeth! Using the metallic sprays is a great technique to create more interest, and I'm enthralled with all the different designs on top of the leaves. It's just a fabulous card!
I have checked out those Funky Leaves several times but never got them, so I am happy to see them here, especially with that awesome, PERFECT sentiment! The gold embossing and your gold spray really makes these extra-special!
