Cricut Circle Tic Tac Toe Challenge!

This month the Circut Circle is doing a Tic Tac Toe Challenge, they had a Tic Tac Toe board with 9 different tasks, you pick a row of tasks that you would like to combine and make a project with them.  I choose to do the bottom row that had Cut a Flower Shape, Cuttlebug Emboss on your project, and print a patterned paper from your  Imagine.

For my Flower shape I used the Pagoda Cartridge Flower8 on page 57.  I cut the flower at 3 inches and the petal part 2 times in at 3 inches also.  I also cut the base at 3.1 in Green again so a little would stick out around the flower.  I felt like my flower needed a little something more so I went to my Walk in the Garden cartridge and looked for a leaf.  I found one I liked on page 90 I cut out the shift shadow option for the leaf.

For the Cuttlebug Embossing I used D'vine Swirl on the petals of the flowers, then I used some distressing ink to give to make the embossing stand out more.  I  also embossed my leaf for that embossing I used the Textile folder.

For my printed patterned paper printed from my imagine I went to my Lori's Garden Cartridge and choose the light green pattered paper with the white dots going across the page in a wave.  I choose to put the patterned paper on the the page sideways to give it a different affect.

After I was done putting all the pieces together I added some bling to the middle of the flower and used my pen to roll the petals of the flower to give it some more dimension.

Overall I am happy with my cards I made.  I plan on using them for mothers day.  I need to find a stamp to put on the front still but even without a stamp I think they came out nice.  It was a fun project to work on and I enjoyed the challenge.
