DTC #166 - Tuesday Morning Sketches (May 6-19)

Here is my Design Team card for Double Trouble #166 "Stash or Trash" in celebration of Lost Sock Memorial Day on May 9th in collaboration with Tuesday Morning Sketches.   

My suggestion for this fun challenge is to spend a little time (as little as possible) searching for those missing socks as most likely you won't find them. So off I headed to my scrapping space (where I spend most of my life... lol) to conduct my brief search. 

While I was going through my stash I was surprised to see all the unused, unmatched snippets of patterned paper and/or images. I was so mesmerized by a 5x12 snippet left over from a Yuletide 12 Christmas Card Workshop I attended in 2014. So it was time to throw my socks in the trash.  

I pulled up my blog to refresh my memory and came across the photo below to see the cards we created and a close up of the cardinal image. There was so much similarity this snippet would be perfect, along with two other snippets, to use for Twisted Sister's optional twist to create using the Tuesday Morning Sketch #756.  

Cut two of the panels using the Cardinal and music note snippet and two other patterned papers from my stash behind them. Had another snippet of the red patterned paper and was able to use it for the background.  Bordering of the panels were cut using the retired Colonial White and adhering to a Colonial White card base.  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble to check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there. Check out Tuesday Morning Sketches, our collaborating partner to this challenge, to see how easy it might be to combine challenges.  

The tree branch and sentiment were used for the ribbon part of the sketch adhering with 3D thin foam tape for a little dimension.  For the inside border of the card base the snippets from the snippets were used... leaving nothing to put back in my stash.
