Today is my last day as Surprise Party Guest over at Seize the Birthday. I have so enjoyed participating in the June and July challenges and thank Nanc' and the team again for having me!
The challenge for the next two weeks is Tic Tac Toe!
I chose the top horizontal line - stripes, one layer and stencil.
Here's the inside of my card to show it is for a birthday - for a sea-loving guy (or gal!)
I used the double stenciling technique for my background that was the Seize the Birthday challenge on June 17th. If you're interested to see how I double stenciled my background, please see this blog post.
So pick a row of Tic Tac Toe - and join us over at Seize the Birthday!
