Tall & Skinny Birthday


It's time for another fun challenge at the Double Trouble blog. Challenge #50, "It's a Tall Order", begins on Monday, February 17, and ends on Sunday, March 1, 2020. There are three basic elements to the Double Trouble challenge:

Thing 1 (required): Trouble Maker is looking for tall and skinny projects.
Thing 2 (optional): Double Dare is asking you to partner with Try Stampin' on Tuesday #445 by using their sketch and submitting your card to their challenge. (This biweekly challenge begins on Tuesday, February 18, through Sunday, March 1, 2020.)
Thing 3 (optional): The Twisted Sisters hope you will include a tall stack of items on your tall and skinny card.




Onto the card base, I adhered a panel of cardstock, a panel of wood grain paper and a smaller panel of patterned paper. I used potted plants for the Thing 3 option. The flower pots came from a digital image that I downloaded, resized and printed five times on Copic cardstock. After coloring the images with Copic markers, I fussy cut them and added Wink of Stella for some shimmer. Four of the flower pots were adhered to the banner with foam tape. In place of the large circle on the sketch, I used a die cut bow embellished with Wink of Stella. The inside of the card was lined with a mat of colored cardstock and a panel of white, decorated with a few paper scraps, the fifth flower pot and a vertically-oriented birthday sentiment, also with Wink of Stella. 


My card has also been entered into the Heart to Heart Challenge, "Say It with Flowers", which begins on Monday, February 17, 2020.
