Hi, Janelle here, with Day 10 of the Diva Dare Challenge "Tic, Tac, Toe".
We are challenging you to create a card or project using inspiration from a tic-tac-toe board. For example: x’s and o’s, hugs and kisses, squares, circles, grids, you get the idea.
The gallery samples have been so awesome that I was wondering how I could bring a fresh take on this challenge. Back on Day 1, Diva Marisa mentioned that her family uses the saying "smakies and squashes" for hugs and kisses, so that gave me the idea to search on variations to tic-tac-toe.
I found the UK naming, "Nought and Crosses", and that was enough to get a fresh take on the dare.
My "nought" is nothing extravagant (or CAS) and my "crosses" is the dainty and wonderful little cross to pair with a sentiment, both from the Peace on Earth set. I used one of the banner dies from the Banner Bundle Die Set for the sentiment layer.
The banner is longer than the die and here's a little trick I use to do that. When cutting the die, I leave the top plate away from the top flat edge of the die so it doesn't cut it. I finish cutting it down to the right length with a paper trimmer.
For even more cross images from Verve take a look here.
Here's some info on how you can play along:
