Balloon Ants Color Plus


Good Morning!  The weather has certainly been unnerving here the last week.  Hard to believe the East Coast experienced an earthquake and hurricane/tropical storm in the same week!  My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the storms and earthquake.

I'm finally back to stamping and made this card for today's Digital Tuesday Challenge #126 --"Going Buggy" sponsored by the Doodle Pantry. The pre-colored image is from the DP Balloon Ants Color Plus set.  This set comes with both colored and outline images, sentiments and digi papers.  I inserted one of the sentiments  inside the balloon and used one of the dotted digi papers included with the set.

I will also be entering this card in the following challenges:
Totally Gorjuss Challenge 95 -- As you like it!
Jellypark Friends Friday Challenge -- Die Cuts and/or punches
Our Craft Lounge Challenge  OCL#80 -- Clean & Simple - Lots of Dots
Polka Doodles Week 34 Challenge -- Spots & Dots

So glad you were able to stop by.  Thanks so much and enjoy your week!
