Nine Patch

Dear Ones~

Papertrey Ink is giving us a run for our money this week. They are celebrating their 9th anniversary as a company, and there are activities and challenges every day for 9 days. Today's offering is one where we were take nine 1 1/2" squares, alter each in a different way, and attach them to a 5 1/2" square card. Whew!!!



Here is my card:

I used several techniques here, including emboss resist, stencil resist, direct to paper coloring, watercolor background and dry embossing. Then I added embellishments to each square. Some were using a punch, some were using dies, some were heat embossed directly Then I added Judy Sequins (sequins with Glossy Accents filling in the middle), or Stickles or Gems. Lots of things to look at here.

This is another view:
