The Paper Craft Crew are back with a fun Tic Tac Toe challenge this week #PCC331. It’s Jay here and welcome to Mitosu Crafts, thanks so much for stopping by. I used the Rooted In Nature stamp set with Nature’s Root dies again this week for my card design.
Below you will find the different Tic Tac Toe elements you can have some crafty fun with…
The middle line across (Metallic / Monochromatic / Stitched Rectangle) was my first choice as I wanted to use the other Oxidised Metal panel I created from a previous project which you can see
HERERooted In Nature Card Details
The Oxidised Metal panel using the FREE Sale-A-Bration item, Grapefruit Grove Foil was die cut with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. This in turn inspired my colour spectrum, looking at Stamping’ Up! colours similar to the Grapefruit Grove Foil to achieve a monochromatic look for this card. I ended up using the following colours: Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral, Grapefruit Grove and Early Espresso.
The duo trees are actually on one stamp. This was added tone on tone, on Calypso Coral cardstock and die cut with the coordinating dies from Nature’s Root
Stampin’ Up! Colour Inspiration
Mitosu Crafts
The sentiment from Rooted In Nature stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso and then die cut with the thinnest Rectangle Stitched die
The Grapefruit Grove twine comes from the Nature’s Twine pack (which contains 3 other spools of twine in Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron). I separated a couple of strands, wound around my fingers then adhered with Tear & Tape
Ombre Effect Tip
Now for the main tree image, I used the dauber to stamp technique to create an ombre effect. Starting with the lightest colour which in this case is Grapefruit Grove, I applied the ink on the stamp with a dauber from the top down. I then moved on to Calypso Coral and applied the same way as before, this time though overlapping with the previous colour to blend together. This overlapping of colours gives creates a new colour and thus help with the ombre effect. Finally, for the bottom tree trunk which I wanted to be the darkest part, I applied Cajun Craze before die cutting with the co ordinating die from Nature’s Root set
