PP709 Tic Tac Toe from Claire

Happy Sunday, peeps!  September has five Sundays, so that means the Paper Players get to have a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, with Claire as our hostess!  Here's her board:

My original plan was the middle row across of orange, diecut and stencil, but I also managed to do the left column of leaves, orange, and monochromatic!  My friend Martha gave me a nice leafy stencil that I had never used, so I set it up on some Very Vanilla cardstock and gathered some Peach Pie, Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze inks and went to work:

After stenciling, I added some Itty Bitty Background dots, then ran it through the Cut & Emboss machine with a Subtle embossing folder.  My sentiment is from Unbounded Love; I stamped it on a piece of Very Vanilla in Cajun Craze, then used a Stitched Leaf die to cut it out:

I found some Very Vanilla thick baker's twine in my stash, so I added it to the panel, then popped everything up on top of a Cajun Craze card base.  I left  the inside blank, so I can use it for whatever occasion might arise.  I forgot how much I love orange hues....when I was a senior, I remember under my picture in the yearbook, my favorite color  was.....orange! And since this week at Just Us Girls, they want us to use stencils, so I am entering it there as well!

I hope you'll find something in Claire's grid to tickle your fancy, so you can play with us over at the Players!
