Ninth Year Birthday/Anniversary

Hello Friends!
Double D is celebrating it's 9th year of challenges.
Make sure to visit the challenge blog to read all abut it!

For our theme, being we are celebrating our HUGE success
it is either birthday or anniversary and we have a pretty mood board
below for inspiration!


I was inspired by those pretty colors in the balloons and also the pretty cake.
I knew I had the perfect set to use and pulled out a never been used before
The Greetery Takes The Cake die, stamp, stencil set (new to me).    The stamps and stencil come as a set
and there are 7 layers of stencils for the cake and stand.  You can also purchase a couple
different die sets to go along with it, there is even a smaller cake stamp version as well.
I am NOT affiliated with The Greetery at all, I just love all their beautiful releases!
This is my first attempt with this set and there is certainly room for improvement so I 
will definitely being bringing this to life again.


I used lots and I mean lots of different inks for this card,
Altenew colors grass field, shadow creek for the greenery,
silver lake, gray denim, cloudy night for the cake stand,
Pink Pearl, Coral bliss, Heart Beat, Ruby Red and Warm Sunshine for the flowers
along with Pink Fresh Sunkissed and Fruit Punch also for the flowers.
There are so many different options to make your cake and I can't wait to create more!

Please come and join us for our celebration at Double D,
we have honors and also a few fun prizes to a random winner!!
