Happy New Year and welcome to 2024 Blog land!
It's time for a celebration at the Double D Challenge Blog and I can't help but think of the lyrics to Kool & the Gang's "Celebration".
There's a party goin' on right here
A celebration to last throughout (8) the years
So bring your good times and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you
Come on now
A celebration to last throughout (8) the years

We gon' celebrate and have a good time
The Double D is celebrating it's 8th year which brings us to our first challenge theme of the year...

I went with a birthday card and a splash of bronze.
Birthday Bash
There's no bronze paper currently in my stash so I opted for a rich brown base for this card. The pastel colors of the patterned paper were a great contrast to the darker base. I double cut the tree and sentiment using two complimentary shades for both. The final embellishment...yes, I have bronze sequins!

A beautifully created card with your pretty papers and dies, a perfect way to celebrate! Thanks for all you do and we are honored to have you as part of our creative team and that you have hung with us for so long, (I enjoy our convo's we have too), happy new year my friend!!
This is GORGEOUS! Love the shades of colors in these subtle tones and that fabulous sentiment and die cut leaf/tree--in fact I am looking at it in real life right now! Thank you! It's a beauty! Happy New Year!
This card is beautiful Vicki! I love the background paper and the sweet colors you've used on the dies. Thanks so much for planting that earworm in my ear. I'll be singing that song all day! hahaha!
WOW What a beautiful birthday card! You always come up with fabulous designs that inspire us all. I'm so glad you've stuck with us all these years and hope you will continue to do so. We love our team ladies! Here's to another fun year of card making with DD ... can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve in 2024!
Absolutely beautiful color pallet with the bronze! It makes for a soft look that I seem to gravitate to lately. You have a way with papers and this one is top notch! We have so much fun here on this challenge and I am so glad that you and I are teammates.
Vickie, I always look forward to seeing what patterned paper you'll use next. I love this stuff, but maybe I collect and hoard a little too much. Love how you brought all these beautiful parts together. I'm happy to be celebrating today with you!
Great project and love seeing your great variety of designs... xx
What a beautiful and fabulous creation you have here. That patterned paper is fantastic and show cases the die cut tree and greeting perfectly. I love everything about this. Oh, and thanks for putting that song in my head, it will reside there for several days now.....lol!!!XO~
I love this card, Vicki. The papers you chose provide a wonderful color scheme and showcases that wonderful tree so well. Love the layers and fun sentiment. Always a joy to see your work at The Four Seasons.
What a beautiful birthday card, I love your layering, and the colous concept of your creation. The soft background papers give a perfect touch of winter/Christmas magic, and the dark brown ones looks like a frame to the scenery. The pink Christmas tree is a wonderful centerpiece, and the bold birthday greeting couldn't be more perfect for the occasion. Great idea to use some sequins for the bling. Thanks for joining the Alphabet challenge.
Hugs, Veronika
