Dies R Us Challenge #165 ~ Anything Goes using any brand of die that DRU sells

   Hello Blogging Friends!!

Today is the 15th of the month and that means it is time for a new challenge on the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  The theme is always Anything Goes Using Any Brand of Die that Dies R Us sells.

We're doing something a little different today! We're partnering up with the Double Trouble Challenge Blog and having a joint challenge collaboration.  It's fun and easy and you have a chance to win prizes both here on the DRU Challenge as well as the Double Trouble Challenge!

The theme for this challenge will be A Magical Day:

In order to qualify for the prizes offered at Double Trouble Challenge, you'll need to follow these guidelines.  

"A Magical Day"

Thing 1: Trouble Maker says, "We are going to recognize 'Everything You Think is Wrong Day' on March 15th, a day when nothing goes right. Picture this: Your crafting project just went wrong! Have you ever had a day like that... a day when nothing was going right? Yeah, me too." 

"Don't give up... because things that went wrong will magically correct themselves at the stroke of midnight and we will be celebrating 'Everything You Do is Right Day' on March 16th! To get to this happy day, you had to get past yesterday."

"So let's include something MAGICAL on your crafting project (i.e. gnome, fairy, magician, wand, rabbit in a hat, pixie dust, unicorn, mermaid, Disney, etc.)." 

You can stop here...

OR 

you can continue to Twisted Sister's optional twist below. 

Thing 3: Twisted Sister
says, "Trouble Maker, you were right! Everything went completely wrong yesterday but today is another day... it was magical and today everything seems to be going right. Whether or not you decide to play along with my twist we hope everything goes right for you." 

"My optional twist is to use at least one metal die (a frame, an image, a sentiment, etc.) in your project and any brand is acceptable. If you have included a die(s) on your project you will receive another chance at the DTC random draw and you will have met Double Dare's requirement below." 

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "If you have created Thing 1's "magical" theme and have included at least one metal die on your project you are eligible to enter it at Dies R Us HERE. 
OR 
If you have used any brand of die that Dies R Us sells you will be eligible for their random draw and earn a $10 gift certificate at their store. Your die may already qualify... click HERE to view the list of brands sold at DRU on the left-hand sidebar. Don't keep us guessing... include the brand of die used in your post." 

So if you used a metal die to join our DRU Challenge and you've included the Magical theme, you have already completed all the requirements for both challenges.  If you've only used a die (but not the Magical theme), you are still eligible for our DRU Challenge, but it won't qualify for the Double Trouble Challenge.

(remember, you MUST use at least 1 metal die to qualify for the DRU prize... and please tell us the die company you have used in your project.)

Here is my card for this challenge:

Ingredients:

Lawn Fawn Cattails Border Dies

Tutti Designs Pumpkin Fairy House

Tutti Designs Small Mushrooms

Frantic Stamper Mushroom Trio

Hefty Doodle Fairy Word die

Impression Obsession Hugs word die

Fairy Hugs Stamps Condo Dwellers

Neenah Solar White paper

White card stock

Blue Marble paper

Green paper

Tan paper

Purple glitter paper

Yellow paper

Copic markers

Watercolor Butterflies

Faded Jeans distress ink

Black ink

For this A2 card I started by making the card base with White card stock.  I took a piece of Blue Marble paper, inked the edges with Black ink and added that to the card base.  I took some Green paper and the Lawn Fawn Cattails Border die and cut that out and added that to the card.  I took some Neenah Solar White paper and the Tutti Designs Small Mushrooms and cut them out, colored the mushrooms with Copic markers and tucked them in behind the Cattails Border.  I took some Tan paper and the Frantic Stamper Mushroom Trio dies and cut them out, colored the mushroom tops with a Brown Copic marker..  I took more Green, Purple Glitter and Yellow paper and the Tutti Designs Pumpkin Fairy House die and  cut it out 3 times, cut the pieces apart so that the Purple Glitter paper is the roof on the Fairy House and the I put the yellow windows in the Fairy House.  I took some Black ink. and the Fairy Hugs Condo Dwellers stamp and stamped the fairies on either side of the Fairy House.  I took more of the Purple Glitter paper and the Hefty Doodle Fairy word and the Impression Obsession Hugs word dies and cut them out and added them to the top of the card.  I took the Watercolor Butterflies and added them to the sky.

Don't forget to check our Sister Store in Canada with warehouses in USA & Canada called Didi Crafts.

I hope you will come and join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  There's a new challenge theme offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.  For your convenience, all the important Dies R Us links are provided below.
