Double D, Black And White Only

Good Morning! 

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog. 

Here is your Inspiration Tile:

Double D, Black And White Only

Here's my card:

I was drawn to the balloons and butterflies from the Mood Board.  

Using an Embossing Folder I dry embossed my background in a Happy Birthday Motif.

The balloons were created using the Impression Obsessions Birthday Balloon die.  

I sponged a bit of Dove Grey ink on the White ones to add a bit of dimension.

I 'planted' them into the Simple Garden Pots die cut by Memory Box, adding Baker's Twine strings.  The little butterflies were cropped using a Memory Box die, Butterfly Exhibit. 

A Vellum strip was heat embossed using Black Embossing Powder.  

Happy Birthday sentiment by Gina K Designs, Pleasant Plurals stamp set.

Inside stamp also by GKD, Happy Spring.

Amalgam Black ink.

This card came together rather quickly.  I'm somewhat amazed when that happens lol

This card will be entered into the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, No Designer Paper.
