Father's Day - USA falls on Sunday, June 15, 2025. I usually use the occasion to show appreciation to one of my brothers, David, who has two sons, Dave and Dan. My nephews are grown adults, but they still enjoy getting together with their dad for a day of fishing. Later, they can guzzle Mountain Dew soda pop while cooking those fish for supper with grits, fried okra, and hushpuppies.
Our biweekly Double Trouble Challenge #193 is a chance to recognize a special guy in your life - father, son, brother, nephew, etc. We encourage you to create a card or project with us and let him know he is appreciated. Your project doesn't have to be for Father's Day... any occasion for your favorite guy is acceptable.
Here's what I did to stir up some trouble in Double Trouble's Kitchen for Trouble Maker:
3-2-1- Recipe for "My Guy"
Ingredients:
AT LEAST
3 Layers - Do not count the card base.
I have five layers - count 'em!
2 Different patterned papers
There are three different patterns.
1 Kraft or color similar to Kraft.
My card base and sentiment are both Kraft-type.
Twisted Sister hopes you will use an element representing how your guy enjoys spending time. Be sure to mention it in your post. See my introduction to read about "My Guy".
Double Dare has a great sketch from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch on Tuesday #672, shown below. I tilted the sketch on its side and used it for my fishing theme. If you use the sketch, you will be awarded an extra chance in our random drawing.

Here's a second glimpse of my card:
Join us for card-making and paper-crafting fun at the DTC #193 Blog, where our Design Team has created their own cards for you to see.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope you'll leave a comment!

ReplyDeleteLook at all the fish! Great interpretation of the sketch at TSOT as well :)
ReplyDeleteLove how you flipped the sketch! This is a great guy card for the one who loves to fish. That's really nice that you use the holiday to celebrate your brother. He will love it! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat cute fish on that paper! Rotating the sketch looks great, kind of like a fish tank!
