Here is my card for Double Trouble Thing 1's 3-2-1 Recipe "It's a Wheelie Cool Day" with my  interpretation of the required ingredients and added enhancements.  



3 - Layers - Card Base Does Not Count
Woodgrain background, bordered wth Cardstock, Layered Gear Dies
2 - Shapes 
Rounds using Gear Dies  
1 - Image 
Chain Cricut Cut 

You can stop here... OR PLAY ALONG WITH
Thing 3's Optional Twist - include at least one wheel, cam and/or gear
and/or 
Thing 2's Optional Dare using TSOT Sketch #695

I chose to use Twisted Sister's optional twist and Double Dare's dare to use TSOT Sketch Challenge #695. My card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but the sketch was my inspiration in combining the two challenges to show how easy it is to participant in both DTC and TSOT challenges.

Suzanne, your card is gorgeous!! I love the colors and the unique combination of gears (which are usually metal) with wood patterned paper. Not to mention how you incorporated the sketch...very creative!

Suzanne, I love your card,,, especially the woodgrain background! Did it come in those colors, or did you use markers to give it such a beautiful color palette? Beautiful!!! -Donna

Johanna said...

Thank you Kim, it was a fun challenge.

All paper, no markers.... it was a beautiful set of woodgrains that Melanie R gave me as a gift. It's been in my stash a long time and so glad I brought it out for this challenge.

Suzanne Reynolds said...

Thank you... the chain was an afterthought on how to bring in the image.

Suzanne Reynolds said...

I don't know why it sat in my stash for so long, I guess waiting for the right recipe and sketch. Thank you.
