DTC #174 - Fruity GORP "Have the Sweetest Birthday"

This is my Design Team card for Double Trouble's Challenge #174 "Scrapper's Fruity GORP Recipe". Our GORP is to use your favorite fruit(s) within a fruity color mix... which is already providing you with two of the elements from Festive Friday #167 Inspo List. Twisted Sister optional twist is to include at least one more element from the Inspo List to enhance your project and enter your card in Festive Friday #167 "Harvest" and be eligible for additional chances to Double Trouble's Random Drawing.  

My third element was to include Gingham as my background using nectarine as one of the fruity colors. My gingham background was cut using my CTMH Multi Circle Windows die. Clear vinyl was placed between the gingham pattern paper and several white cardstock layers to accommodate shakers in some of the windows.  

Supposedly choices were randomly placed... four of the Fruit stamps with a pun related to each, another four windows the gingham was replaced and the balance three circles were shakers.  Don't know how random this looks, but it took me a long time to get that random look.  

Each of the fruits were colored with alcohol-base Copic Sketch brushes with a variety of fruity colors and the fun pun was attached to a nectarine circle off the edge for a little shadow.  Even got another element using my shakers as our Scrapper's Fruit GORP Recipe.  On the bottom right-hand corner a birthday sentiment was stamped with Memento black ink. 

Shaker card was attached to the white cardbase.  On the inside some of the left-over circles were adhered to the right-hand border and stamped with some hearts.
