Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge #6: Tic Tac Toe

I've been looking around the internet the last couple of days at all these different craft blogs and such, and I came across this fine thing!  I thought I would try it out.  I like challenges.
The way it works is you just pick three squares going down, across, or diagonally, and make a card using those three.  I chose enamel dots, patterned paper, and ribbon or twine.  Here's what I came up  with!

You may notice that the enamel dots have dark stuff on them.  That is because I made them myself, and I think I burnt them in the oven!  Whoops...

I also made the patterned paper.  That is, I drew the pattern on myself.  I did not make the paper, although I would love to do that sometime.  I love chevron, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!  I used my scallop edge punch on the sides.

Then for the twine, I got creative and decided to spell a word with it instead of the traditional wrapping around paper I'm used to seeing.  I don't know if that really counts as twine actually...?  It's technically embroidery floss...I think.
I don't remember ever doing words like this before, but I have done patterns with this thread on cards in the past.

For the edges of this card, I rubbed light pink sharpie on my finger and then rubbed it onto the card.  It gives sort of a soft...princess-y feel, don't you think?  Well anyway, it makes me think of princesses and tea parties.

Hope you like it!  I might do some more of these challenges in the future!

    1. I love clean and simple too. I definitely prefer it over busy. Thanks for the compliment! It means a lot to me, especially since I'm still pretty un-experienced in the blogging world! By the way, I love that your name is Maggie also. :) A sort of funny thing is, when I was about to start a blog, one of the names I was thinking about was very similar to the name of your blog!
