It's Your Day - Color Dare Challenge #566 "Triple Play"

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare Challenge #566 "Triple Play" combining with Sketch Saturday Challenge #734, flipped to portrait. My daughter and I were zooming and I was making this card for celebrating her birthday.  I forgot to do a photo of the card so my daughter took one for me.  

Stamped images using Memento "Black" Ink, cut using thin cuts and colored with Copic Sketch brushes (alcohol-base)... created the plaid on the gnome with the three colors closest to the Color Board.  Used the same colors for the balloons and gnome sitting on the cupcake and applied a dark chocolate icing with some Sundance sprinkles.  

I had just finished coloring and someone was at my front door... and much to my surprise it was my youngest son, his wife and kids visiting from back East. So needless to say our Zoom ended, my card making was at a stand still until they all went out to the pool. My daughter and her husband were expected over for dinner to celebrate so I quickly put together my card so I too could hop in the pool.    

Decided to use the three colors for the Cut background panels as shown in sketch, using two patterned papers (Sundance and Desert Rose Mix-Ins) bordered with Rosemary cardstock, and cut the banner from Rosemary cardstock. Adhered the larger gnome with balloons direct to background, and used 3-D thin foam tape for the cupcake.  I'm off to the pool.      

I forgot to take a photo of her card before she went home so the next day asked her to photo one for me... she did and it wasn't until then I noticed I had neglected to put something in place of the little arrows in the sketch... but I talked myself into the strings from the balloon worked and the little gnome on top of the cupcake was sitting in front of the little arrows.  Sentiment stamped on the Sundance patterned paper.  

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #564 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.
