Here is my Design Team card in celebration of National Banana Split Day on Sunday, Aug 25th... let's do a BUNCH of layers using Double Trouble's 3-2-1 Banana Split Recipe from our Kitchen to include at least three layers in addition to card base, two embellishments and one image.
Twisted Sister wants us to select at least three colors from the Color Dare #614 "Ice Cream Cone Inspiration Photo". AND, If you have followed the colors on the Inspiration Photo you have earned another chance in Double Trouble's random drawing and qualify for entry into their challenge too.
The Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #590 is a perfect sketch for layers, so I just had to figure out a good image to use for the Double Trouble Recipe. My choice was a hummingbird stamp set which would provide a lot of layering and soft colors from the inspiration photo.
Looking through my Mink patterned papers chose a soft floral pattern and die cut a scalloped stitched circle for the doily and for the background another Mink patterned paper that complemented it. Doily adhered to background with thin foam tape and then bordered background with yellow cardstock.
Stamped two hummingbirds for layering, several flowers and leaves for the partial wrap around the doily and colored with Copic Sketch brushes using the lighter colors from the Color Dare's Inspiration Photo.
All floral and leaf images were fussy-cut, adhered to the background around the doily using thin foam tape to pop up some of the flowers. The two hummingbird images were fussy cut slightly different, layered with 3D thin foam tape between them to create additional dimension and the hummingbird was adhered directly to the edge of the doily.
For completion of the 3-2-1 Recipe two bitty sparkles were added to the sentiment. Other enhancements to the recipe were more than three layers, add of several images of floral and leaves and additional random placed bitty sparkles... I'm going to put this one in my recipe book.
On the inside of the card I stamped another floral stamp from the same stamp set using London Fog Memento Ink.
