Color Dare #654 "Thanks"

This is my Design Team card for Color Dare #654, wherein you had to use Black and Pink + one more color and I chose green.  Love Story Paperpack has a lot of black and white patterned papers so selected two and diagonally cut both and adhered to black cardstock and then to white cardbase.  

This packet also had a lot of stickers for coloring and I chose this beautiful flower, fussy-cut to take off the edge and colored with a pink copic brush pen and used green for the leaves. Rather than raise the full flower I slit some of the flower pedals so that I could adhere three direct to the background and used 3D thin foam tape to lift the other pedals I slit. I do this quite frequently when I don't have other images of same to cut and layer.  

In my stash I found a Thanks sentiment already cut in Mettalic Gold which was complementary to the gold in the flower center.  

I went back to the stickers to look for something for the inside corner but as I was fussy-cutting the flower it slipped from my fingers and fell almost exactly as shown on the card.  It found it's home on the front of the card.  

One more look at the stickers for the inside, there was a pretty gold border stamp and all I needed to do was cut the length and adhere.

TSOT #671 and DTC #192 - Merry Christmas

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #671) and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Double Trouble's #192 3-2-1 Recipe "Sun Fun". 

The background consisted of four torn patterned papers from CTMH's Sea's & Greetings, a paper pack with fun Hawaiian and/or Northern Hemisphere Christmas patterned papers. This is the same paperpack used for my DT Card yesterday for Double Trouble #192 with the Hawaiian patterned papers.  

My sentiment was layered with two cuts of a Merry Christmas die for some dimension and adhered to the background.  The card looked a little flat so from one of the patterned paper I fussy-cut a scarf, mittens and a shell flake and adhered with 3-D thin foam tape for a little more dimension.  On the inside of the card another torn sheet of the stripes were adhered to the bottom of card case.

DTC #192 - 3-2-1 Recipe "Sun Fun" ALOHA, Flip-Flops Welcome

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #192 3-2-1 Recipe "Sun Fun" and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #671. which starts on May 27th. 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.  

The background consists of four torn patterned papers from CTMH's Sea's & Greetings, a paper pack with fun Hawaiian Christmas patterned papers. The torn patterned papers were added to a Lagoon layer and attached to the card base.  I didn't have a sentiment relative to the flip-flops so I dusted off my Cricut and made my own sentiment combining three different images, removing the flip-flops and flower and welded the words together. Cut two Cricut sentiments, layered and applied to the L-H top of the background. 

From the flip-flop patterned paper I fussy-cut two sets of flip-flops, placed the images  over the pattern and adhered to the patterned paper with 3D thin paper for dimension.  

Two of the torn sheet patterns were adhered to the R-H border inside card base.

Thinking of You - Color Dare #652

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #652 and the soft colors were perfect for a pretty Spring floral using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #629.  

Decided to keep much to the sketch and enhanced it with stitched frames. Selected a subtle striped patterned paper layered with a light brown border to match the softness of the florals. Stamped a sentiment and the card was completed.

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #670) and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Double Trouble's 7th Anniversary "Raffle Celebration" 

The background consisted of two patterned papers (checkered and dots) from Sweet Safari paperpack... note there is a Kraft-like color in the checkered pattern. Both patterned papers were adhered to Kraft paper and then adhered to white card base.

The stacked cone of ice cream scoops was in my stash. Pulled out my Copic Sketch brush pens, colored to match colors in the background paper, fussy-cut and then adhered to the background with 3D thin foam tape for a little dimension.  

The two panels on the left-hand side were cut with a stitched die using the checkered design paper and adhered to the polka-dot background paper. Sentiment stamped on white cardstock, bordered with Kraft and adhered direct to background paper. 

Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock, bordered with Kraft and adhered direct to background.  I was going to try to use a Volkswagon bus for my sentiment; but wasn't happy with it... so colored the Volkswagon bus, fussy cut and added to the inside corner of the the card base.

DTC #191 "Celebratory 7th Anniversary Raffle "Enjoy Your Special Day"

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble's 7th Anniversary "Raffle Celebration". My pick was the Pink Raffle Ticket for a "Birthday"... I included Twisted Sister's optional twist to use some Kraft Paper or Like, and Double Dare's dare to use our sister challenge Try a Sketch on Tuesday #670), which starts on May 13th. 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. 

The background consisted of two patterned papers, both using Kraft color in the patterns and adhered to a Kraft border.  Flowers were cut using white cardstock, colored using Color Dare's graphic (blue/green + one color of choice, purple).  Kept close to the TSOT Sketch using some pretty die florals and the Color Dare Challenge #651 was perfect for my special birthday card.  Flowers were cut using white cardstock, colored using Color Dare's #651 graphic(blue/green + color of choice purple) and some adhered with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  

The two panels on the left-hand side were cut with a stitched die using same design paper, colored and adhered to match the stripes on the background paper. Sentiment stamped on patterned paper, bordered with Kraft and adhered with 3D thin tape again matching the stripes on background paper. 

Had extra cuts of flowers, colored and placed on the r-h inside corner of card base.

Color Dare #650 and Double Trouble 3-2-1 Recipe "For Someone Special"

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #650 You MUST use the two colors in the graphic. There are some Free colors you can add to your project but you MUST use Blue and Purple. For my free color I chose to use a silver embossing for my stamped mage.  

I chose to combine the Double Trouble's 3-2-1 Recipe "For Someone Special" and Color Dare graphic. The Background ingredient is a pretty gray diamond pattern and stamped my butterfly and  floral image VersaMark and then heat embossed with silver embossing powder. The Color Dare graphic has two colors that must be used, purple and blue, colored using Distress Inks for a close match, and this covered the 2-Colors of Your Choice ingredient. Smudged some color on my patterned paper while coloring so chose a decorative border die to cut the bottom r-h corner, added a purple corner including the background border.  Added a die cut sentiment and some jems to meet the 3-Layers ingredient.  

After photo was taken and posted the colors this was not a good match of the purple and blues... so a second card was done with a better match, but my smudge was in a different spot that I covered with a silver pen.
