Double Trouble Challenge #173 Guest Designer - Partnering with Color Dare

Hi everyone, today I’m back for my second challenge as a “Crazy Cousin” for the new Double Trouble Challenge #173 which runs until August 29th, partnering with Color Dare.

Let the Troubles begin!

Full details of all the “Things” and inspiration from the Design team can be found over on the Double Trouble blog, where you can also link up your entries.

In brief, to join in, simply:

1. Follow the theme of Thing 1 Trouble Maker: “3-2-1 Recipe” - must have 3 layers (in addition to the base card), 2 embellishments and 1 image.

You can enhance the recipe by adding more than the stipulated ingredients, but it must have the above as a minimum.

2.  You can stop there, OR you can also play along with Thing 3 Twisted Sister Optional Twist: Use at least 3 colours from the Ice Cream inspiration photo to earn another chance in the random draw.

3. Double Dare: If you have included both of the above steps you are eligible to enter your project over at the Color Dare Challenge #614 to earn another chance in the Double Trouble random draw.

Here’s my card for the challenge. 

I decided to use this gorgeous AALL & Create image almost as soon as I saw the inspiration photo, as I thought is really works for colouring with a variety of these colours.  I stamped  the image,  coloured with Zig watercolour pens and Wink of Stella for added sparkle. I die cut a large stitched square of white card with a central circular aperture, then dry embossed with a floral embossing folder. I matted the image panel behind the aperture and attached a die cut stitched circle frame, then matted onto lilac card stock and a 6” square card blank. 

I stamped, heat embossed and attached the sentiment, then for my embellishments added a die cut butterfly and sparkly gems, and finished off by adding faux gold Posca spatters to the image.

Here is an angled picture to show the Glossy Accents and sparkle.
