I'm so excited to guest design for such an amazing milestone!!!
For my card, I used just a portion of a large balloon die from Seredipity Stamps.
I smooshed a background with inks in the same colors of the challenge logo and added the sentiment die cut, which is from Pinkfresh Studio. The oval die is from Tutti Designs.
Here's a few more views:
Hope you will have a chance to play along and remember to comment on all the DT blogs for a chance to win one of the prizes!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
