Happy Holidays - DTC Challenge #151 SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #151 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" using Twisted Sister's optional twist to include at least one circle.  After completing the card I noted that the colors in the patterned papers were close to the colors in the ColorMyHeart Color Dare #572 (dark and light sides of Scarlet, Pine and Mink)... so I'm taking up Double Dare's Dare to enter my card as one of our previous partners at DTC.   

In one of Double Trouble's previous challenges there was a card entered by Pinky's World "Spot the Circle" which was perfect for the optional twist for this new challenge. Here is Pinky's World Facebook tutorial link she provided... in 10 minutes you can create two backgrounds easily within that time and set aside to embellish later... so my backgrounds were for Christmas cards.  

Background: Using a wacky stitched circle die I cut together two different complementary paper patterns catty-corner and then adhered one to a scarlet border and the other to a pine border. The opposite patterned paper circles were then placed on each corner.  

 

Sentiment:  Using another patterned paper a rectangular wacky stitches die was cut, sentiment stamped with VersaMark and then heat embossed (one with silver, the other with princess gold) and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  

Embellishments:  In addition to using die cut circles both patterns had circles and/or dots. In one of the patterned papers there were pine needles and in my stash I had a Pine Needle Shoots die... cut several sizes of pine needles and adhered embellishments in and around the sentiment. Red Duvo drops were used to add a berry to the smaller pine cones on sentiment.  On the inside of each card I used one of the zip strips from the paperpack with a border of the corresponding cardstock.  

Please hop on over to Double Trouble and check out our Design Team's inspiration and then let us see what you create... and what previous partner you are sharing your card with.
