Color Dare #636 Just One of Those Days

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #636 and combining it with The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #613. This stamp set was one of the last stamp sets I bought before CTMH closed down. This was a perfect stamp set for the color challenge and the simplicity of the sketch. The sketch was flipped horizontally because of image chosen. 

Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" inch white cardstock and bordered with Royal cardstock, one of the colors on the Board.  The bird was the first stamped image on my panel, masked the bird to draw green lines for the banner across the panel.  Using masking all other images (scribbles and stars) were stamped directly on the card panel using the other three colors.  Masked off the top portion of card and bird and used a grass stencil to give the bottom of the card a little texture. 

Another sentiment was stamped on the inside border of card base with a couple more scribbles to finish off the card.

TSOT Sketch #662 "Witching You a Happy Halloween"

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday #662 using the Double Trouble 3-2-1 Recipe "Say Cheese & Smile".  

   

My daughter recently gave me this adorable "Halloween Cat" stamp set which was perfect to use for Double Trouble's 3-2-1 Recipe to satisfy the ingredient of 3 Images of Choice and one ingredient a Sentiment that makes you Smile. Have a folder in my stash of CTMH Halloween paperpacks and chose 2 for the ingredient patterned papers.  So, all I had to do was incorporate my recipe into the TSOT sketch.  

The background patterned papers were cut and bordered with tangerine cardstock, and adhered to the cardbase. Stamped several of the images, colored using Copic Sketch brush pens, and set aside. 

Three circle sizes were cut, one set in colonial white cardstock and second set in tangerine. The colonial panel of each circle was adhered to the tangerine offset on left side giving a contrast border against the lighter background. Circles were adhered to background as positioned in the sketch and selected images were adhered to the circles with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  

Sentiment was stamped on colonial white, bordered with tangerine cardstock and adhered to cardbase near middle circle.

Double Trouble 183 3-2-1 Recipe "Say Cheese & Smile"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #182 3-2-1 Recipe "Say Cheese & Smile". Twisted Sister's optional twist was to include a mouse or something cheesy. In my stash I have one mouse stamp set "Snow Mice" and the recipe had three Images which were perfect for the recipe ingredient of 3 images and the TSOT sketch.  The next ingredient was two patterned papers so pulled out my Christmas stash and found the perfect snow flurry background papers.  

Chose to use our sister challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday's #662, which does not start until 1/21/2025. This card will not be entered in the challenge as it would be backlinking... but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants.  I will use the TSOT sketch in future challenges with the same ruling.  

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble, have fun with our challenge  requirement and play along with optional twists to be eligible for additional chances to our random draw. Check out the Design Teams inspirations, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

Thanks So Much - Color Dare #634

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #634 and I have used all four colors and combined it with Try a Sketch On Tuesday #661.  

In my stash there was some scrap patterned paper from CTMH Tutti Fruiti matching the pink and blue in the Color Board plus a strip of yellow which I covered with Wisteria and then ran through the Big Shot using an embossing folder. Pewter cardstock was used for the border and then attached to the card base.

Made three cuts, one of each color, of a stitched square frame and cascaded the squares in my Misti, and stamped the floral over the squares... this was a little tricky but removing one layer at a time was able to get a good impression of the floral on each square restamping several times. The squares were then adhered directly to the background and the strip to the left was added using pink cardstock bordered with pewter. Sentiment was stamped in the bottom right-hand corner.  

On the inside another floral stamp was added to the bottom corner and border. 

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #634 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

Double Trouble #182 - 3-2-1 Recipe "Warm and Cuddly"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #182 "3-2-1 Recipe Warm & Cudley" combining it with Color Dare #633 Board. Click on DTC photo below for recipe, plus I included Twisted Sister's optional twist and shared with Double Dare's dare.  

Color Dare had quite a choice of colors in their Board last week and I used a selection of three for my first ingredient. I love layers so I had no difficulty in two layers and many more to enhance the recipe. My warm and cuddly image is my kitten... she's my cuddly kitten but she also has a second personality, mischievious.  My card fit the requirement for Double Dare's alternate challenge at Critter Crazy.
