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:

Here are the ingredients:
GKD Edible Eggplant Card Stock
Papertrey Ink Button Stacks Dies
Papertrey Ink Tiny Tags Stamp and Die Set
Papertrey Ink Feather Finery Stamp Set
Papertrey Ink Heart Prints Stamp Set
Various Other Stamps, Dies and Punches
Watercolor and Embossing Powder

I have to say I found this kind of fun. Wouldn't want to do it every day, because I don't like to think that much....lol! But it was a nice challenge. Thanks for stopping by, I adore your comments!! Stay warm, my friends (or cool, depending on which hemisphere you are in).
