Extrovert or Introvert?


Extrovert or Introvert?
Probably more of an Ambivert!

 


Introvert or Extrovert
The Double Trouble team is having a bit of fun with you and hopes you will play along. Here is a summary of their Challenge #156:

Thing 1 (required): Trouble Maker says, "January 2 is World Introvert Day. Whether you are introverted or extroverted, Thing 1's requirement is to create a project to show us your personality through one of these two background choices. These choices are the Introvert - calm, soft, pastel  OR  the Extrovert -  loud, bold, bright."
 
Most people are actually ambiverts - people who kind of exist in between introversion and extroversion depending on the situation. Being an ambivert myself, I decided to create two cards - one for my extrovert side and another for the introvert. Both cards are for both challenges - participants are not required to submit more than one card. 

Thing 2 (optional): Double Dare has the link to Try a Sketch on Tuesday #638 so you can join our partner's challenge as well and earn another chance in our random drawing. Both of these challenges are biweekly and will end on Sunday evening, January 14, 2024.

Thing 3 (optional): Twisted Sister will give you another chance in the Random Drawing if you use the sketch below, provided by our partner. This sketch was used to design both of my cards.

To create the extrovert card, I used bold striped patterned paper for the background. Instead of using two squares from the sketch, I switched out the shapes by using a rectangle from patterned paper and a die-cut ring from cardstock. After all, extroverts aren't fearful of making changes in the sketch design shapes. The flowers and leaves were fussy-cut and adhered using thin foam tape to create additional levels of dimension. The card front was adhered to a white card base, decorated with coordinating paper.

Materials for Extrovert Card
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Basic White; Cardstock Warehouse Blu-Raspberry
Paper: Altenew Collection "Enjoy the Ride"
Dies: Hero Arts Infinity (circles)
Misc.: CTMH thin foam tape & Pink Fresh pre-printed sentiments

To create the Introvert card, I selected a soft tone-on-tone patterned paper for the background, adding the squares cut from coordinating patterned paper. The top square was backed with cardstock and I used a round sticker for the floral design, adhering the square with thin foam tape. The sentiment was adhered, also with foam tape, then enhanced with a fussy-cut butterfly. The card front was adhered to a white card base, decorated with coordinating paper.

Materials for Introvert Card
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! Basic White; Cardstock Warehouse - Blu-raspberry
Paper: Doodlebug "Hello Again"
Misc.: CTMH thin foam tape, Paper Roses pre-printed sentiments

  3. Yes, I have to agree with you on "ambivert" as I waffle back and forth depending on the situation. LOL. Both cards are wonderfully done!

  5. Both of your cards are so pretty and love the interpretation and materials used for both the Introvert and Extrovert cards; but I see Ambivert in both. Beautiful cards.
