TSOT 670 and DTC 191 - Have a Chillin Birthday

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.  

Please hop on over and join us at Try a Sketch on Tuesday #670. Check out the Design Teams inspirations, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there. 

And if you want double the fun, head on over to our sister challenge at Double Trouble's 7th Anniversary Raffle Celebration and play along with our optional twist to earn chances to their random draw.

What a great way to use that plaid paper with so many colours - they are all in the cones! Super cute :)

This is so adorable, Suzanne! I love the mix of fun paper designs. The die cut strips are a nice contrast and make a great border. Thanks for sharing with us at A Cut Above's May Challenge.

Suzanne, I LOVE your card with it's warm summer theme! It is so clever of you to use the stacked ice cream cone for the round elements in TSOT's sketch. I REALLY like all the fun pattern papers you used... I'm now ready for the beach!!! -Donna
