Soar

It's Saturday, so that means it's time for another challenge over @ Our Creative Corner.   Holly has a very interesting challenge:  Tic Tac Toe, so to speak.  Holly created a tic tac toe grid, and all you have to do is select your embellishments in a diagonal, straight across, or down in a row. 
Here is Holly's tic tac toe grid:



My first thought was to go across the top: brads, pink, flowers.  But, then I thought  that was too obvious and easy.  I can make a pink card.  I'm not a big fan of stickers.  So, I went down the left side: brads, buttons, and blue.  I don't really make a blue cards, so I thought why not, it's a challenge, right?

Here is my brads, buttons, and blue card:


To start off, I picked up some new pattern papers from Authentique.  I just love the vintage look of their pattern papers.  Very pretty.  Not too girly, and yet, not too masculine.  
I took various stamps and stamped on the notebook paper.  I was trying to achieve a vintage, worn-look to my papers.  
I had one bird left from my Melissa Frances stash.  So, I added the bird. 
I added some buttons from Lost & Found.  I wanted to add a fabric brad to add some softness and character, so that went on, too.
Thank you for looking.  I hope that you, too, get a chance to play along with us @ Our Creative Corner.
Have a great weekend!
