WELCOME to Challenge #190 - Let the Troubles Begin!
This Challenge runs from

"3-2-1 Recipe - For Someone Special" 


Thing 1:  Trouble Maker
says, "There are many events to enjoy, but one that is always special is Mother’s Day. This year, the celebration is on Sunday, May 11th (in the USA). This is the perfect time to recognize remarkable women in your life – a family member such as an aunt, a daughter, a niece, or perhaps a dear friend. Let's stir up some trouble in the Double Trouble Kitchen and create a project for your special woman using all the ingredients from our 3-2-1 Recipe below.
                          
3-2-1- Recipe "For Someone Special"
Servings - Unlimited Portions of Fun
Ingredients:  
     3  Layers - This does not include the card base.
     2  Colors of Choice from the Clipart Color Wheel.
     1  Background - Must use Patterned Paper.  
                          
Directions: You MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in our random drawing... but you can enhance your project and use more than the ingredients stipulated.  If you are unsure of the ingredient description, click HERE for additional details about that ingredient, and this may answer your question. 

You can stop here... 
OR  
play along with Thing 3's optional twist and/or consider Thing 2's optional dare to use our sister's sketch challenge and earn additional chances in our random drawing. 

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister 
says, "No specific occasion is ever needed for appreciating the beauty or fragrance of flowers. Our optional twist is simple - use floral images. Your images can be stamped, digital, machine-cut, die-cut, punched, stenciled, hand-drawn, fussy-cut, or try using stickers, cut-aparts, ephemera, patterned paper, or photographs."

If you include this twist with your 3-2-1 Recipe, you will be awarded an additional chance in our random drawing

     


THING 2:  Double Dare
says, "Click on my clipart to the left to see the sneak peek of our Sketch Challenge from our sister challenge, Try a Sketch On Tuesday #670, to inspire you to combine this sketch with our Double Trouble 3-2-1 recipe, 'For Someone Special,' and you will be awarded TWO additional chances to our random drawing. 

"Please note TSOT starts on April 29th, so this sneak peek gives you the day prior to create; but remember... to prevent backlinking, your project should not be posted, published, or entered before April 29th in Try a Sketch On Tuesday HERE."  

Alternate Challenge:  If you have met our 3-2-1 recipe and have included florals, you can enter the Beautiful Blossoms Mood Board #28... Check the rules for their challenge to make sure you have met their requirements and eligible dates (Apr 15th - May 11th), and you will be awarded yet another chance in our random drawing.

Special Notes: If you use the TSOT sketch and/or if there is an Alternate Challenge, please enter your project(s) and include TSOT's name and/or the Alternate's name next to the DTC link in your post. You are now eligible for the extra chances in our random drawing.

Thing 3:  Twisted Sister
says, "A tisket, a tasket, I have an Easter basket. I’m still a child at heart and love Easter Egg Hunts. Did you know that in days gone by, the eggs were hard-boiled, decorated, and then hidden throughout the yard? Most commonly today, we use hollow plastic eggs containing candies, money, or other surprises. My optional twist is to include at least one decorative or colored egg in your project."
