The Paper Players PP753 - A Tic Tac Toe Challenge from Joanne



Join us! 
It is TIC TAC TOE week at The Paper Players.  Joanne is challenging us to create a card that incorporates a row, column or diagonal from the Tic Tac Toe board above.  I focused on the middle row: bright colors, free, and enamel dots.  I don't own any enamel dots but I made acrylic dots from pony beads. I baked vertical beads on parchment paper for 30 minutes @ 285°. Pony beads melt into perfect little domes. There are a number of YouTube videos on the process if you would like to give it a try.

I made a "Florida" card.  My neighbor reminds me every morning when he sees me out with my dog that we "are livin' the dream".  We are. I love Florida.  So I made a sweet beach scene with bright umbrellas topped with enamel dots.  Also added several brightly colored fish as a finished touch!

Check out our fabulous design team.  These ladies work hard to inspire you each week.  Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.

Here's a quick recap of our challenge rules:
 
1.  Create a new paper project
2.  Upload your creation to your blog with a link back to us and provide a direct link to the post featuring your challenge submission.
3.  Please link your card to no more than four challenges in total.

Enjoy!  I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.
