DTC Challenge #189 - 3-2-1 Recipe "Hippity, Hoppity"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #189 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "Hippity, Hoppity" and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #668) which starts on Apr 15th... so this card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges for interested participants.




Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble, have fun with our 3-2-1 Recipe "Hippity, Hoppity" and play along with our optional twist and dare while earning 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.  

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.




The sketch reminded me of a fun fold card I've previously seen... so using a plain white sheet of paper and experimented with a couple cuts until I got the fold similar to the sketch. The plaid background cuts were a pretty close guess in regard to measurements; but I was happy with it.  Stamped, colored, and adhered the adorable chicks for my main focal point and added sentiments to the outside and inside of fold.

Cute card, Sue! These little chicks are just perfect for a springtime design. Great fun fold, too, and the plaid paper adds interest.
