TSOT #680 with DTC #201 3-2-1 Recipe "S.A.E."

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #680 and combining it with out Sister Challenge, Double Trouble #201 3-2-1 Recipe "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing". 

While looking through my stash I found another Halloween stamp, never used, and thought this would be a good time to create another Halloween card. One of the stamps was a corner spider web stamp which I used to create a frame and still give me the cross-over design.  I then stamped four spiders to embellish the background and cut a black panel for my focal point.  

My focal point consisted of a ghoul, ghost and a fun pun sentiment, adhered to the black panel using glue and 3D thin foam tape for dimension. The panel was then adhered to stamped background with 3D thin foam tape, background bordered with black and adhered completed layout to a card base. Oh, and why not blacken the eyes with white highlight, blackened noses of stamped images and add some pink cheeks to the ghost. 

Stamped a column of spiders on the r-h border on the inside of card base. What a fun time creating this ghoulish card... hope y'all enjoy it too.

DTC Challenge #199 3-2-1 Recipe "Sweet Surprise" with TSOT #678

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble #199 using the 3-2-1 Recipe "Sweet Surprise" and Twisted Sister's optional twist to fill in your aperture with at least one image or make a shaker. My choice was to add one image in aperture. Also used our Sister Challenge for inspiration, Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT Sketch #678) which starts on Sep 2nd. This card will not be entered in TSOT challenge due to the backlinking rule but used as an example of combining the two challenges to show how easy it is to participant in both challenges.

My birthday card used CTMH "Party Gnomes" stamps which had never been used and sitting in my stash since purchase. First selected a party patterned paper, bordered with red cardstock, adhered to card base and then cut out a stitched circle aperture.  

Went back and forth on whether it was going to be an aperture card or a shaker; but decided to go with the aperture using several of the party gnomes images. 

Gnomes were stamped using Memento black ink, cut with Brother Scan&Cut, and colored with Copic Sketch pens. 

On the inside of the card I placed the same patterned paper and adhered one gnome to display on aperture cut,  another in the corner, and placed a third gnome on front of card hiding one of the ones on the inside. 

When opening the card I wasn't pleased with the gnome on the left side. As with alcohol-inks they bleed through cardstock... so, cut another gnome, pencil drew the back of the gnome, used Black Multi-liner over penciled, erased pencil marks, colored and carefully cut with circle die to fit in aperture cut. My art wasn't perfect but looked better than the color bleed.   

I then cut another piece of the same patterned paper using same circle die, fussy-cut around the stitching and applied to the inside of aperture opening.  Sentiments were stamped on the front and inside of card.

Merry Christmas - Double Trouble #180 "Stitch It Up" partnering with AHSC #604

This is my Design Team project for Double Trouble Challenge #180 "Stitch It Up" wherein I used both a background diamond die and a scalloped frame to meet the requiremen of stitches. 

Twisted Sister's optional twist was to use the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #604, a fun sketch,  but didn't know where I was going with it. The poinsettia band die gave me both the buckle and the band and a couople gold gems were added kitty-corner to the poinsettia with a larger gem middle of flower.     

The poinsettia band die was cut using patterned paper three times for dimension plus widen the band, adhered to the stitched frame, and bordered with the same patterned paper.  Sentiment was die cut using white to blend in with the background.   

Please hop on over and join us at Double Trouble. Have fun with our challenge requirement and play along with optional twists to be eligible to enter your project in our partner's challenge while earning additional chances to our random draw.

You're Berry Special

Couldn't pass up this cute House and Mouse Stamp and decided to use it for Three Amigo's BlogHop Challenge #1 "Nom, Nom"  using The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #382, but turned to landscape.  

Each of the panels were cut to size and then using the using the Elizabeth Craft Designs "Dashing Rectangles" centered them inside to cut the stitching on three of the sides and then centered it again on the fourth side and die cut just on the stitch.  

I stamped two of the image, colored the full image with Copic alcohol-based brush pens, fussy-cut the strawberry from the second image, colored and then layered on top of first image with 3D thin foam tape.  Gave great dimension to the strawberry but it didn't photo well.
