Naki and Nina's Double Dare Challenge

Hi there, friends!

It is time for another Double Dare Challenge!

Lost Lagoon

Use Product(s) from the Occasions Catalog

My favorite out of the new Occasions catalog is the Celebrate Today bundle! As soon as I saw them, I was in love!! So naturally, that is what I picked. I have other favorites too, but that's another post for later...

Lost Lagoon is such a deep, rich, beautiful color! 

I immediately paired it with the shiny, gorgeous Gold Foil Sheet. 

I will be honest with you, after die cutting the 2 balloons and the little bow and tassel, I didn't know what to do with them, I had to walk away. Those pieces sat on my desk so sadly for a few day, but I decided I wanted to make a graduation card for my lovely niece in Japan (school there is from April to March), and the phrase "the sky's the limit" came to my head. You get the concept of this card, right;-)

I sponged the edges of the map and the base with Crumb cake ink  for my favorite vintage look, it just adds so much drama! I am pretty happy with how this card turned out!
