This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #186 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "Pinch Proof" and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch Challenge #665 which starts on March 4th so this card will not be entered in the TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants.
Back in the Spring of last year, my daughter, a friend and I went up to her cabin for the weekend and did a batch of gel press designs using inks, stencils and foil. They have been in my stash for a long time and thought this might be a good time to check them out for our 3-2-1 Recipe "Pinch Proof" to satisfy the two stencil ingredients... and I got lucky.
The same stencil was used for both designs using different colors and foils. The green and gold gel press design was used to satisfy the 2 of the 3 color ingredient and the second gel press using orange and green to satisfy the other color of my choice.
Butterfly first cut using the orange/green design, along with another cut using green glitter and some of the glitter pieces were pieced in the first cut. Additionally two cuts of the sentiment using the orange/green design and layered. The butterfly was partially adhered to the background and used some thin foam tape for dimension on the upper wings.
Twisted Sister had an optional twist to include a shamrock. Using green glitter cut a 4-leaf clover and removed one heart leaf to corner and balance the glitter under the sentiment.
Then hop on over and check out the TSOT Sketch Challenge, check out the Design Teams inspiration, and consider using their sketch with our 3-2-1 recipe.
