Thing 3's Optional Twist - include glitter and/or sparkle in your project 
and/or
Thing 2's Optional Dare using TSOT Sketch #698
biweekly challenge starts on June 23rd



I chose to use Twisted Sister's optional twist to include some sparkle and Double Dare's dare to use TSOT Sketch Challenge #698. 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.

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble, have fun with our 3-2-1 Recipe "It's Going to be a Long Day" and play along with our optional twist and dare while earning additional chances to our random draw.

Then hop on over to our sister challenge,Try a Sketch On Tuesday to check out the Design Teams inspiration, and you may want to consider using their sketch with our 3-2-1 recipe.

What a fun card!! Love that frog and sentiment. The glittery, green ring background die cut is fantastic. Thanks for sharing with the June Challenge at A Cut Above. Happy to have you play along.

Adding those sparkly rings in the background really grounds this design and it is a beauty. Your image is fun.
