TSOT Sketch #696 with DTC Challenge #217 3-2-1 Recipe "DTC 8th Anniversary - Raffle Event"

Here is my card for Try a Sketch on Tuesday #696. I chose to celebrate and join up with our sister challenge, Double Trouble, for their 8th Anniversary Raffle. I gave the brown bag a shake and pulled out a Blue ticket... a masculine card.

I liked Twisted Sister's optional twist to include Kraft or Kraft-like element because it's perfect to use for a masculine card. I chose a Kraft-like product (corregated cardstock), bordered with black cardstock and adhered to the cardbase. 

Click HERE to see my DT card for Double Trouble... my Pink raffle ticket for a birthday card using the TSOT Sketch #696 for inspiration and a very close interpretation of the sketch. 

Now for my DT project I was a little puzzled in what to do using the same sketch... hey, what a great idea, a puzzle. Taking Cricut for the second day out of hiding, I cut the puzzle pieces and then stamped and stamped and stamped images using black Memento ink. One stamp I particularly liked was the bee, why? Bee-cause they were so cute and had it out on my desk.. See if you can find them on the puzzle pieces.  

Hop on over and join us at Try a Sketch On Tuesday and  check out the Design Teams inspiration, and you may want to consider using their sketch for Double Trouble's raffle themed project. I don't know what I was thinking; I was puzzled... hey that a great idea for my card.   

Would love you to hop on over to Double Trouble's 8th Anniversary, grab a raffle ticket and play along with Twisted Sister and Double Dare optional twists to earn additional chances to their random draw. Combine both DTC and TSOT and let's see what you create... hope to see you there.
