Hello friends,
Happy New Year to all – wishing you love, health and happiness in 2022. It is also Double D Challenges 6th birthday and to celebrate we have a beautiful mood board to inspire you. The theme for this birthday challenge is “Balloons” (No hot air balloons). To be part of our challenge please visit the Double D Challenge blog and see more wonderful samples from Double D’s talented designers and join in the fun!
I love the colourful balloons in the inspiration tile, it is such a pretty picture. I decided on a slimline design for my card. I stamped the cute little bear and sentiment first and then colour the image with watercolour pencils. I die cut a few balloons in different colours of plain and gingham papers, distress then with inks and then layered then with mirror tape for dimension. I used a red layer to frame the picture on the base card. This was such a quick and easy card and I really love the happy feel of the card.
I entered my card in the following challenges:
- Crafts Galore Encore #95 (January) (ends 01/31) – Always Anything Goes
- Love to Craft LTCCB#66 (ends 01/31) – Always Anything Goes
- Cut It Up Challenge #242 (ends 01/12) — Birthday cards
