TSOT Sketch #696 with DTC Challenge #217 3-2-1 Recipe "DTC 8th Anniversary - Raffle Event"

Here is my card for Try a Sketch on Tuesday #696. I chose to celebrate and join up with our sister challenge, Double Trouble, for their 8th Anniversary Raffle. I gave the brown bag a shake and pulled out a Blue ticket... a masculine card.

I liked Twisted Sister's optional twist to include Kraft or Kraft-like element because it's perfect to use for a masculine card. I chose a Kraft-like product (corregated cardstock), bordered with black cardstock and adhered to the cardbase. 

Click HERE to see my DT card for Double Trouble... my Pink raffle ticket for a birthday card using the TSOT Sketch #696 for inspiration and a very close interpretation of the sketch. 

Now for my DT project I was a little puzzled in what to do using the same sketch... hey, what a great idea, a puzzle. Taking Cricut for the second day out of hiding, I cut the puzzle pieces and then stamped and stamped and stamped images using black Memento ink. One stamp I particularly liked was the bee, why? Bee-cause they were so cute and had it out on my desk.. See if you can find them on the puzzle pieces.  

Hop on over and join us at Try a Sketch On Tuesday and  check out the Design Teams inspiration, and you may want to consider using their sketch for Double Trouble's raffle themed project. I don't know what I was thinking; I was puzzled... hey that a great idea for my card.   

Would love you to hop on over to Double Trouble's 8th Anniversary, grab a raffle ticket and play along with Twisted Sister and Double Dare optional twists to earn additional chances to their random draw. Combine both DTC and TSOT and let's see what you create... hope to see you there.

I chose to include Twisted Sister's optional twist and Double Dare's dare. 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. I loved the sketch so much I thought a close sketch look-a-like using doodling and/or scribbing would be fun.

Life is Messy, Friends Help - Color Dare #590 Triple Play

This is my Design Team project for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #590 "Triple Play" wherein you MUST use all 3 colors, white, black and neutrals free. Decided to use the Try a Sketch on Tuesday Challenge #641.  

Because the colors are pretty bold I thought Lagoon and Honey Butter would make a great background, kinda representing sun and sky. For my image chose the kitten with a ball of yarn to bring in the Clover color. 

The two main patterned panels were cut with decorative die frames, the larger one bordered with Lagoon and adhered to card base.  The kittens were stamped with black ink, colored with gray neutrals except for the ball of yarn which was colored with Sketch pens closest to the CTMH Clover cardstock.  

I had a squiggly die cut I placed under the kitten to show the unraveling of the yarn adhered direct on background along with one of the kittens and then adhered the kitten with ribbon with 3D thin foam tape for a little dimension. Picked one of the cute sentiments, bordered with Lagoon and adhered to background on a slant.   

For the inside of the card I used the negative cut of the larger frame bordering along the right-hand side.

I'm Lucky to Know You - Double Trouble #161 "Pinch Proof" partnering with Festive Friday

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble "Pinch Proof" using green and  Twisted Sister's optional twist to include a touch' o' gold and one other element from Festive Fridays Inspo List FF0154 "St Patrick's Day".  For the Festive Friday, you need only use three of their items from their Inspo List; but I was able to use Gold, Gold embellishments, Green, Clover, and Lucky sentiment, and it doesn't have to be a St. Patrick's Day card.  

I had so much fun creating this card as I had just received my postage stamp die and was anxious to use it... I had a small container of St. Pattrick's Day papers and embellishments that pretty much had depleted over the years; but was surprised to find the patterned paper and thought it would be a good background. The image of the frog was also in the container and the balance of embellishments were from my new postage stamp set and two sentiments from Paper Smooches "A Magical Spring".  

The frog was colored using Copic pens... unfortunately the dark green decided to leak and my fix was adding dots in lighter colors to compensate to change the color closer to the clover green in the background paper.  The pot of gold was filled using some tiny gold stickers that have been in my stash for years and never used.   

The stamp die was cut two times, one in white cardstock, the second from the patterned paper, offset from one another to show the division of the stamps and give a more decorative border.  Used VersaMark for stamp images and sentiments and heat embossed with gold. The 50 cent was stamped using Mememto black ink. The layered postage stamp was adhered to another layer of Clover cardstock and adhered to card base.  Frog was adhered to postage die cut with 3D thin foam tape for dimension.  

The inside of the card was based on the circular stamp under the frog "Hugs Inside". The clover is an svg image stamped with Paper Smooches sentiment, layered with Glover cardstock and adhered to inside of card.

Happy Spring - CD #546 "TicTacToe"

This is my Design Team Card for ColorMyHeart Color Dare #546 "TicTacToe using the CTMH paperpack "Cosette".   The cup with flowers determined my choice of colors (using the diagonal French Vanilla, Mist and Peach) and also determine the focal point for the Try Stamping on Tuesday Sketch Challenge #603 including the optional twist to add a sentiment.  Loved the simplicity of the sketch and with plan in place this was probably one of the fastest cards I've created.    

 

The patterned paper in Mist and French Vanilla was perfect for the Cup of Flowers background.  Two banners were cut... the top was Mist adhered to a French Vanilla border and the bottom in French Vanilla using a decorative stitched die in Mist.  Sentiment was added to the lower banner.  

Fussy-cut the cup of flowers for less trim on the edges and adhered with 3D Foam Tape in a couple layers to add dimension and roundness.  

For the inside of the card I added a pocket for a card gift or money using the same patterned paper in the background.
