BIG Birthday Celebration at Double D Challenges

Welcome friends!  I'm so glad you've stopped in today.  Double D Challenges has been going strong for seven years so this challenge will be a fun birthday celebration, filled with lots of prizes.  

I was tickled pink to pull out this Balloon Party Animal from Spellbinders.  This is such a cute die!

I embossed the background using the Circle Illusion 3D Embossing Folder from Spellbinders, and cut some circles using their Fluted Classic Circle dies to layer the balloon animal.

I stenciled in some puffy clouds and added a couple of die cut clouds as well.  The sentiment is from Layered Mix & Match Sentiments.

My friends at Double D Challenges would love to have you join in on this fun celebration.  

Here's the photo to help inspire you:

and here's what you could win if you play along:









Thanks for stopping by!

Wow! What I saw first was a great design using all of the circles repeatedly. from the background to the circles behind the balloon animal, It really shows off the fun balloon party animal. The colors are top notch too and make a stellar birthday card.

Fabulously fun card my friend!! Your balloon doggie is sure to brighten anyone's birthday! My grandson used to make balloon animals and said that was what he wanted to do when he got out of school, he had me worried there for awhile, lol, but now he is a Senior at University of Michigan and an all A student, I guess I didn't have to worry LOL!! Anyhow, your card is just as sweet and cute as can be, love it!!
