Here is my Design Team Card for Double Trouble Challenge #74 "Kazoo-a-long" using a music theme and Try Stampin' on Tuesday's Sketch Challenge #490. Also chose to use Twisted Sister's optional twist to "include a zoo animal"... just had to decide which zoo animal... going back and forth from a kangaroo or a giraffe. This is an all-occasion card, inside sentiment can be added.
Found the giraffe I wanted to use in Cricut Design Space and then looked through Pinterest sentiments for a giraffe. I had to be reminded by Our Little Crop Group to make sure to follow the sketch and wasn't sure my giraffe was small enough to use in the center panel. While prusing through Pinterest there was a tri-fold card with a giraffe on the face of the card and when it was opened the rest of the body appeared. I liked that idea; however, instead of doing a tri-fold card I accordian folded my giraffe in three sections and was able to include it in the sketch challenge. I did find a sentiment, from another card, and it was perfect.
The background design paper was the right color and loved all the spots. My focal point was first cut with a white cardstock and printed the sentiment on; but it just didn't seem right for the background of my giraffe. I cut another piece of the design paper and placed under the giraffe... this happy paper made me happier.
Now, to place the musical notes. Used a Cricut cut and used only the speech bubble for my upper right-hand corner embellishment. Since the sentiment was on the focal point section, selected to put the music notes at the bottom. One of the other giraffes not used, instead of throwing it in my stash to get lost, it was added to the inside border.
For those that really like more of a challenge may want to include Twisted Sister's optional twist and/or enter at our partner's post if you have met their requirement... and you will be rewarded additional chances for the random draw. Please join us at Double Trouble Challenges.
