Double D Challenge

Well hello again...

I'm back today with my DT project for the new Double D Challenge hosted by team Diane
This fortnight's challenge is 

Neon Brights


Hop on over to the blog to see what the teams have to inspire you and the lovely prize on offer...

Neons are not really colours I reach for but I found this surprisingly easy


I cut a stencil with my balloon dies and pulled out all my bright distress inks to create a quick and simple card


I used a black sharpie pen to add strings to the balloons and a white gel pen for a little dimension.
The sentiment was die cut in black card and covered in glossy accents...


I'm also entering this at Happy Little Stampers April Challenge



Have a beautiful day
