Double Trouble #156 using TSOT Sketch #638

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #156 "Background Personality" wherein the requirement is to create a project to show your personality through two background choices... one for an introvert and the other for an extrovert.  I tend to lean toward an introvert; but when it comes to cardmaking I chose to come out of my comfort zone and bring out my extrovert personality."  And what fun it was to join in with our collaborating partners and new owners at Try a Sketch on Tuesday #638.    

1st Card:  When I was looking through my stash for shapes for the vocal point I found this pretty leaf die which had never been used.  Using a bold bright patterned paper was the first cut which also created a negative die cut.  The leaf die also had a background die, cut one using white cardstock to adhere the leaf image and 2 more in black cardstock to create the second square under the vocal point.  

On the opposite side of the patterned paper there was another very bold bright floral patterned paper which was cut for my background. Background was adhered to card base and the leaf image was adhered to the background with 3D thin foam tape for dimension. Completed card with a sentiment stamped with three colors, cut and adhered with 3D thin foam tape.  

2nd Card:  Here is the card I made with the negative die cut that was used for the leaf image cut.  I was going to use it on the inside of the card but then decided it would make another card using the TSOT sketch a second time.  Background paper was layered with black cardstock and then adhered to the white card base. For the second square using black cardstock cut a square stitched frame and adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  The same sentiment stamped in black ink directly to the background.  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble to check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what "Background Personality" choice you used. You may also like to hop over to Try Stampin' on Tuesday to see their Design Team members inspiration and see how fun and easy it was to combine challenges... hope to see you at both challenges.
