It's time again for another semi-monthly challenge at Try a Sketch on Tuesday. This is Challenge #655 and we are partnering with Double Trouble Challenge #175.
A set of circular nesting dies was used to play along with the Thing 1 requirement at DTC. The sketch from TSOT's challenge was used for the Thing 3 optional twist at DTC. After pondering many ideas - flowers, leaves, butterflies, ornaments, etc., to name only a few, I finally decided to simply echo the sketch's shiny orbs. To complete optional Thing 2, this card has been linked to the TSOT challenge.
The background was created by adhering charcoal-colored glitter paper strips to the front of the black card base. Three orbs were die-cut from silver foiled cardstock and decorated with glitter paper. Random holes were punched in the two remaining orbs and then backed with glitter paper. All five orbs were popped up on the background with foam tape. The inside of the card was lined with a panel of white cardstock and decorated with glitter paper scraps.
FDouble Trouble's challenge runs from Monday, September 16, 2024, through Sunday, September 29, 2024. Try a Sketch's challenge dates are Tuesday, September 17, 2024, through ??, 2024. For guidelines on joining these challenges, visit the challenge blogs here:

ReplyDeleteLove all the glitter used in your orbs... I'm sure the photo does not give justice to how glittery it is... wish I could walk down the street and see you card in person.
