DTC Challenge 221 3-2-1 Recipe "Christmas in July" with TSOT #699

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. 

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, Green and Blue Cardstock 

2 - Layers 

Bordered Background, Patterned Paper and Ornaments 

1 - Holiday Image

Ornament w/Merry Christmas Sentiment 

You can stop here... OR PLAY ALONG WITH

Thing 3's Optional Twist - Use 3 non-traditional Christmas colors 

Pink, Blue and Green, colors from Jingle Belles Unicorn Color Board

Thing 2's Optional Dare using TSOT Sketch #699 or #700

Chose to use Sketch #699

and

Alternate Challenge - Jingle Belles "Unicorn Inspiration Color Board" 

I chose to use Twisted Sister's optional twist to use non-traditional colors and          Double Dare's dare to use TSOT Sketch Challenge #699. 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.
