Let's Party - Double Trouble #165 SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble Challenge #165 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing" using Twisted Sister's optional twists to use at least three Colors from her Cinco de Mayo clipart to earn another chance to our random draw and if you included an image from one of the tablets there was an additional chance to our regular random draw.  And you can add another chance to the draw if you have matched it up to one of our previous partners... I chose ColorMyHeart Color Dare Challenge #597.  

All four colors used in my card... one of the patterned papers from Dream Maker was perfect to include three of the closely matched colors of Rosy, Sundance and Ballerina. My focal background was an Avocado found in Cricut Design Space which was cut using both the light and dark side of Limeade cardstock, layered and adhered direct to the background.   

Now my biggest challenge is getting closely matched colors using the Copic Sketch Pens (alchohol-base) for each of the Cinco de Mayo stamps used in my scenery.  All the images were stamped with Memento black ink, colored and fussy-cut except for the bucket and cactus which was masked together as one stamp. The sun, an unknown circle die in my stash, was cut using Sundance cardstock and again cut to fit in the avocado center.  The rest of the colored items were adhered with glue and some with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  Two sentiments stamped directly on the background... upper in Candy Apple Red ink and the lower was Memento black ink. Using Copic Multi-liner black ink I added faux stitches around the avocado to show more detail.  

I had so much fun putting this card together and put a smile to my face when it was done. 

On the inside... stamped Happy Birthday and in the bottom corner stamped and masked in Memento black ink (no coloring) a couple more images from the same stamp set.
