DTC Challenge #220 3-2-1 Recipe "Christmas in July" with TSOT #700

Here is my card for Double Trouble Thing 1's 3-2-1 Recipe "Christmas in July" with my interpretation of the required ingredients and added enhancements using the Try a Sketch on Tuesday #700


3 Colors of Your Choice 
(Neutrals Do Not Count as one of the three choices, 
but neutrals can be used in addition to the colors of choice) 
Pink Frame and Blue/Green Stripes

2 - Layers 
Border & Background-Sapphire Color, Pink Frame & Focal Sticker 

1 - Holiday Sentiment 
Merry Christmas 

You can stop here... OR PLAY ALONG WITH
Thing 3's Optional Twist 
Use stars and/or stripes - Used Striped Patterned Paper

Thing 2's Optional Dare using TSOT Sketch #699 or #700
biweekly challenge starts on July 7th 
Inspirated by TSOT #700  

Alternate Challenge - Jingle Belles "Stars & Stripes Forever"  
Used Striped Patterned Paper 



I chose to use Twisted Sister's optional twist to include some stripes and Double Dare's dare to use TSOT Sketch Challenge #700. 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 "Christmas in July" and play along with our optional twist and dare while earning additional chances to our random draw. Check out the DT inspiration and join us... hope to see you there.

If you included Twisted Sister's optional twist to use stars or stripes you can also enter your card at our alternate challenge at Jingle Belles. 

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.
