TicTacToe Challenge #289

 Here is the current board for the TicTacToe Challenge:


I used the bottom row for my card:  embossing, sympathy, coordinating envelope.  


Simon Says Stamp just hosted a "5 Days, 5 Ways" YouTube event on using embossing folders.  One of their techniques was to brayer ink on the flat side of an embossing folder before running it through the diecut machine.  This gives you an inked background but the raised embossed image remains white.  I used that technique on this card, with some light blue ink.  I used the same embossing folder without any ink on the flap of the envelope.  Very simple, but elegant.
