Challenge 137 | A Sketch + Double Trouble!

June 16, 2020

It's time for a sketch challenge and to make it even better we are partnering with the Double Trouble Challenge!

To play along with our challenge - just follow the sketch and use at least one stamp older than a year! That's it!

Here’s the cool part: by teaming with Double Trouble you get to play along with their challenge as well! All you need to do is follow their requirements which are super easy and fun!

THING 1: Trouble Maker says, "Help us stir up some trouble with a 3-2-1 Recipe that can be used for any occasion."

From: Our Kitchen at Double Trouble

Servings: Unlimited portions of Fun

Ingredients:

3 - Colors

2 - Embellishments

1 - Seasoned Stamped Sentiment (clear or rubber stamp more than one year old)

Directions: You may use more than the recipe ingredients stipulated but you must include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results.

THING 3: Twisted Sister says, "Let's get straight to the point. From my point of view, I see a sketch with sharp angles so here's MY angle: Using the sketch, create a project using at least one angular shape without round corners, i.e., triangles, quadrilaterals such as square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, etc. That's my angle and I'm sticking to it!"

THING 2: Double Dare says, "If you have created a project using the Retro Rubber's Sketch #137 above and Trouble Maker's 3-2-1 Recipe with a "seasoned" stamp... You will receive an additional chance at the Double Trouble Random Draw."

Be sure to visit their website – Double Trouble Challenge – to get all the details for their challenge to make sure that you are following their requirements as well!

So here we go! Double the fun! Double the Trouble!
