First Challenge of the Year for The Funkie Junkie Boutique

The Challenge - Let's Play Tic Tac Toe

Cec has a great challenge to kick the New Year off right!  She wants to "play a game of Tic Tac Toe for this first challenge of the year. Choose any vertical, horizontal or diagonal line from the graphic below and create a vintage or shabby chic project using all three items on your chosen line. In addition to using all three items you must include a copy of the graphic in your post and tell us which line you chose."

My Example

I chose the top line of the grid, layers, winter and heat embossing.  This is the cover for my 2020 calendar that was featured in our January 4th Saturday Showcase.  I created layers with Graphic 45's Fashion Forward calendar collection using the Patterns and Solids Pad, Ephemera Cards, as well as the 12 x 12 Collection pack.  The post card you see is the back of one of the ephemera cards, I love the backs as much as the fronts!

 The numbers 2020 are really old G45 numbers, whew had to dig way back into my stash for those.  I used the January calendar cut-aparts to embellish my page and meet the "winter" part of the Tic Tac Toe.

The last square is heat embossing and I have done that on the clock and snowflakes.  I used Ranger Weathered White Antiquities embossing powder on the clock face and snowflakes.  It is a great powder as it has texture that looks a bit like snow.  I used Set Apter Ancient Amber embossing powder on the clock hand.
