Share Joy Challenge #51

Hey there!

For this week's Share Joy Challenge, I went with the Tic-Tac-Toe, using the Gradient, Shaker, and Scallops. I used a couple of my favorite Taylored Expressions products for this!

I started by blending a gradient of Distress inks on my card base, to create my background. I then flicked on a bit of water, and dabbed it up to create a bit of interest. My sentiment was then stamped, and heat embossed in white. I stamped and die cut my images from the Sit and Chat set, adding color with more ink. 

After my images were done, I set out to create my shaker portion. I began by die-cutting the largest frame from the Frame and Frame 2 die set and attaching a piece of acetate. I sprinkled in a good amount of various bits and sequins, and adhered the frame window with foam tape.

To finish it, I adhered the images, and added a bit of shimmer with clear Wink of Stella. The products I used are linked below, as well as details on how to play along! Thanks so much for joining me here today!
