Having Trouble with Double Trouble

If you follow my blog, you know that I like to enter the challenge at Double Trouble.  Well, this week I've been struggling with it, mostly because I'm working with a very limited stash right now.  That means I have to be really creative sometimes.  

In order to get the maximum number of entries DT Challenge #75 "KAZOO-a-Long" partnered with Try Stampin on Tuesday asks you to use music in your card or project, include a zoo animal, and use the sketch at Try Stampin on Tuesday.  Since Monday, when the challenge was posted, I poured through the digis on my laptop, the stamp sets and papers I have available, and just could not find a thing to suit me.  At one point I just decided I'd skip this one.  For those of you not familiar with The Double Trouble Challenge, the rules do not require you to include everything.  I tend to be an "in for a penny, in for a pound" person.  Then, yesterday, I found a very pretty sheet with music at Gecko Gals and downloaded it.  And last night as I was falling asleep, it all came together in my mind.

The baby giraffe is a digi from A Day For Daisies.

The retired sentiment stamp is from CTMH.

Just a Note Today

 

Cleaning more scraps off my table and couldn't bear to part with that little piece of patterned paper.  I had an extra flower and those black doohickeys tucked into the envelope with the dies and that was the very end piece of silver ribbon on the roll.

One Layer Card + Envelope Part 2

In order to make the card and envelope in yesterday's  post, I used a My Favorite Things matching die cut of the flower to mask an area on the card and envelope while I brushed ink around it.  

(I'll keep these with the stamp and die for future use.)

That also left me with a negative of the flower.  I adhered that to another piece of white cs and brushed color around the inside edge to create a second card and envelope.

 Flower stamp is from MFT, sentiment stamp is CTMH,

 

Background crossstitch canvas die is by AlteNew. 

I love the tiny bit of texture it gives the card.

And here are the two cards together.  Same stamp, two ways.

I like the pink one best.

How about you?
