TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - #TTTC237 MERRY & BRIGHT

Happy Thursday!

I'm back with a card for this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge....

Rosanne is our host this week and created this #TTTC237 fun board...

I chose the top horizontal column - FUN FOLD, FLORAL AND PEARLS.

This Fun Fold was really easy to do...I simply cut a 11"x 4 1/4" card base...score half way at 5 1/2". Next, you cut one side of your card base to 2 3/4" which give you the half fold look. For the inside fold cut a card base 8"x 2 3/4"..score at 4" and attach it to the inside of your card. All other decorative card stock or Design Paper is basically a 1/4" shorter that the original. Hope this makes sense? 

The poinsettias and greenery are from the PTI - Tag Creations: Modern Gift Dies. The sentiment in front is from a retired PTI Set called Penned Elegance: Christmas. The inside sentiment was a previous Christmas gift from The Greetery. At last I added the Silver Pearls in the center of the poinsettias.

Hope this board inspired you to play along? All the details can be found on the TTTC Blog. Wishing you a crafty day! ~SL~
