Penny Black Saturday #53 - 1st Birthday Bash!!

Hello! It's a very special Penny Black Saturday challenge today as it's our 1st Birthday! Woo hoo! We have lots of lovely prizes up for grabs this week, 10 in total!! Also each of our lovely DT has put together a little blog candy. (Theirs are all a surprise, as mine was meant to be but forgot and published it - oops!)
Anyway, here's my candy prize, some of which I used on my card this week, there's PB stamps, papers, gems, brads, die cuts, ribbons, charms, buttons, card candy, eyelets & flowers, phew!! PLUS, a little pouch of stamped images (but I'm still working on these!)

And here's how you win.....

'You must enter a card in this week's Penny Black Saturday challenge, you can enter for as many or all of the DT's Candy Give-Aways if you wish but please enter only once,
to enter you must visit the DT member's blog and leave a comment in the appropriate post with a link to your card,
each DT member will choose their own winner who will be announced on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge next Saturday and on their own blog!'


Thems the rules - (except I am going on my summer hols on Tuesday so I will be picking my winner on the 1st of July.) The theme for your cards/projects this week is Celebrations! I can't wait to see all your fabulous work! Remember to leave a comment on this post to be in with a chance of winning my candy.

Here's my card. I think this is the biggest card I've ever made! It's A5 in size and I made a bit of a pop up card with my Groovy board. The image I had in my box so I don't own the stamp but I love it! My colouring of the balloons went a bit dodgy so I covered them with Glossy Accents! Good luck everyone, thanks for looking!

Supplies
Stamp - 'Partying' by Penny Black, coloured with Copics, Glossy Accents and Sakura Stardust
Papers - Dovecraft 'Wild Blossom' & pearlescent orange from Create and Craft
Ribbon - Smirk
Sentiment - 'Yarn' sizzix die & scraps of paper
Gems - Mad About Cards
Flowers - Poppicrafts
Charm - Quixotic Paperie
