TIC - TAC - TOE

I have made three cards using above TIC-TAC-TOE puzzle. Let's see,

1. RIBBONS + BIRTHDAY + SEQUINS

So this is one of my favorite technique for layering stamps, although I don't own any layering ink pads but I have did "Third Generation Stamping" with two different distress inks.

Steps:

I have started with watercolor paper and attach 2nd layer stamp on an acrylic block.
I took "Worn Lipstick" distress oxide ink and stamped first time on a rough paper and then second time on a watercolor paper.
Repeat the process and filled up the paper area.
Then I took "Picked Raspberry" distress ink and stamp the 3rd layer stamp over the background which I have created.
Then with the "Peeled Paint" distress oxide ink, I have stamped 2nd layer of leaves.
Die Cut "Hello" word from the background and stamped birthday sentiment with black archival ink.
Made a Bow with satin ribbon to match the tic-tac-toe puzzle.
Finished the card with some gold sequins.

2. Birthday + Balloon + Chevron

So this card is inspired from party lovers, some juice, cocktails, balloons and of-course some drinks.

Steps:

I have started stamping with "Cheers" stamp set on a watercolor paper, colored them with zig clean real brush pens. Fuzzy cut all the stamped images.
Created a balloon background using masking sheets. The same is colored it with zig clean real brush pens.
Leave some space from bottom of card to look a like a table and distress blend lightest color which is "Cracked Pistachio" distress ink.
Used Modelling Paste and gave some extra texture using chevron stencil.
Stamped some sentiment from same stamp set on left side of a card.
Once the background is dried, I have adhered stamped and fuzzy cut images.
Complete the card with some gold sequins.

3. Sentiments + Balloons + Frames

This card is very easy to make.

Steps:

I started with stamping Fairy on a texture CS and colored it with Steadler Luna Watercolor Pencils, then fuzzy cut it.
Created cloud background on a watercolor paper using "broken china" and "faded jeans" distress oxides.
Die-cut the frame and adhered to a card base.
Stamped sentiment on the inside part of an die-cut frame. The same I adhered it with foam tape to give little dimension.
Heat-embossed birthday sentiment and adhered it as a balloon on the layered background.
On bottom of the balloons, I have adhered fairy and completed the card with some sugar plum sequins.
