Challenge #225 DTC's 3-2-1 Recipe "Sweet Surprise" using the TSOT Sketch #704 for Inspiration

Here is my card for Double Trouble Thing 1's 3-2-1 Recipe "Sweet Surprise" and my  interpretation of the required ingredients, plus additional enhancements.  



3 - Layers (Card Base does not count)
Aperture Anyshape "Sunrays from Background Die" 
plus additional layers raised Clouds, Image and Sentiment

2 - Images - Stamps, Dies and/or Ephemera
5 Cloud Images and Girly Image  

1 - Aperture - Any Shape 
3 Layers of Sunrays for Dimension 


You can stop here... OR PLAY ALONG WITH
Thing 3's Optional Twist 
1. Fill in your aperture with at least one of your images or 2. Shaker Card

and/or 

Thing 2's Optional Dare using TSOT Sketch #704 for inspiration 
TSOT's biweekly challenge starts on Tuesday, Sep 15th. 

 

I included Twisted Sister's optional twist and added three layers of the aperture cut on yellow cardstock to create sunrays. Attached an adorable image to the front of the sunray aperture using thin foam tape for more dimension. The background die was perfect and gave me the inspiration to use TSOT Sketch 704 replacing the upper and lower border designs with clouds and grass prints.  My card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule.
