Double Trouble 60 - Something, Anything, Everything

Hello, everybody! We have a new challenge for you at Double Trouble Paper Crafting! You may remember that I am a Crazy Cousin (Guest Designer) this month.  This is my final post as Crazy Cousin, and I have enjoyed myself!

Our challenge is a fan favourite - Something, Anything, Everything - so I hope you'll be inspired to join us!  There are always some optional twists ("Things") to cause you trouble, so please head over to Challenge 60 for all the details and inspiration from the Design Team.  In the meantime, here's a brief summary:

Thing 1 is easy, so just have fun!  Thing 2 is to pair with a previous Double Trouble partner, so I chose Crafting Happiness. Their theme is Always Anything Goes, so again, easy and fun.  For Thing 3, since I'm in Canada, the colour combo of red, white, and blue does not have the significance it has in the U.S.; however, I adore these colours for winter holiday cards!  I aim for making two holiday cards a month, and this is my second.

My card started with a Distress Oxide background using the watercolour ink-smooshing technique.  I stamped the snowman, coloured with markers, and fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.  I die-cut the cover plate in white glitter cardstock and the tree border in white.  I stamped the sentiment on a blue scrap and hand-cut a banner on each end.  To finish the card, I adhered a number of red snowflake sequins.

Clear stamps:  Snowman (Your Next Stamp Snow Much Fun), sentiment (Your Next Stamp Waddles Winter Wonderland)

Dies:  Hello Bluebird Winter Woods Overlay, Lawn Fawn Forest Border

Ink:  Distress Oxides (Mermaid Lagoon, Tumbled Glass)

Other:  Red snowflake sequins
