Double D - Happy Birthday/Anniversary - AND some Blog Candy

Dear Ones~
Happy, happy New Year. 
I hope 2018 will be your best year EVER!!!

This time over at Double D it's a celebration. This marks the 2nd anniversary for the Double D Challenge. The lovely Diane and Darlene have been in business for 2 years, and in honor of their anniversary, the challenge is to create a birthday or anniversary card using this fabulous Mood Board for inspiration. 


BLOG CANDY ALERT
In celebration of Double D's 2nd anniversary, I will be giving away some blog candy, so stay tuned until the end of this post.

Here's my card:

I decided I wanted to use the Balloon Punch from Stampin' Up to CASE the photo with the balloons. All I needed was a bunch of different patterned papers and I was golden. It was so much fun, and easy peasy. I did sponge the balloons for more dimension, and I used Judy Dots on the greeting.

Here are the Ingredients:
GKD Ivory Card Stock
DCWV Pocket Blossom Patterned Paper
DCWV Preserved Paper Patterned Paper
SU Balloon Punch
SU Balloon Pop Up Thinlits for Paper Ribbons
GKD Stamper's Favorites for Greeting
Sizzix Ornate Labels
SSS Rose Gold Embossing Powder
Judy Dots
Stash Cord
Nuvo Crystal Drops

Please come on over to the Double D Blog to see what the other designers have created. And you could win one of these awesome prizes if you play along. Two lucky winners this time!

 

AND NOW FOR SOME BLOG CANDY
