“It’s a Wheelie Cool Day”

Welcome to challenge #216 here at Double Trouble and the recipe this time is as follows: Thing 1, 3-layers, 2 shapes and 1 image. Thing 3 is to include at least one wheel, Cam and/or gears. Thing 2 is a double dare to use the sketch at TSOT and to enter your card there. If you are entering into the TSOT challenge be careful not to back link.

To make my card, I pulled out a Spellbinders set that came in the Weekender kit last year and using various coloured bits of scrap card stock I die cut everything. Once the pieces were cut I assembled my sun. To give my sun some eyelids I cut the image twice and turned the other piece upside down and glued it behind. Then I added all the other pieces. It is fiddly work and needs tweezers but is fun nevertheless. I set my sun to the side and stenciled my background using an older stencil (can’t remember the brand) using 3 different inks. Initially I wasn’t sure what to pair it all with and then I remembered that I had some golfing images shared with me, from a stamping buddy. The golf cart and the sentiment seemed to fit the bill so these are the ones I chose. The sun is big and detailed so I didn’t want to add anything too much as I felt it would be way too busy to look at. The sentiment appeals to my weird sense of humour.

Due to the timing of our challenge my card cannot be entered at TSOT. We look forward to seeing your creations in our gallery and trust you have fun creating. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate that you do as I know how busy people can get.

  6. A perfect “he man” card. Very involved intricate work in making this card but apparently you did have fun. The sun was quite finicky but the result is a perfect card for a golfer.

      1. I saw the Bird of Paradise set and mentioned how fun it looked, especially with all of the die sets and he told me to sign up, so I did! It will be fun to see you there, too. Now to find time to do the homework. 🙄

    1. Thanks a lot. I have to tell you the golf cart die cut was a gift to me from a stamp buddy. I’m not sure which set she used but she shared quite a few items from her huge collection when I asked for help.

  11. Great card, Johanna! My eldest brother was a big fan of golf. He lived in Hawai’i, so there was no shortage of courses. Love your card – that big sun is beautiful against the colorful background.
