It's the first Wednesday in May, so you know what that means? Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge. Our trusty leaders, Darlene and Diane are asking us to use our design paper. What a great challenge!! I have a stash of design paper that I'm trying to work my way through, so I'm very thankful for challenges like this.
The papers in the background were pulled out of a box of 6x6 paper squares. Most of them were cut from 12x12 sheets at one time, long, long ago, so I have no names or company to give credit to.
I printed a library card on my home printer on a piece of pale pink cardstock and added these pretty vellum painted flowers from Pinkfresh Studio. The sentiment is a preprinted foiled sentiment, also from Pinkfresh Studio. I rubbed a bit of Antique Paper DOX ink over the top to make it not so white.
I hope you'll visit Double D Challenges to see more inspiration from the amazing design team.
Here's the inspiration tile put together for you by Diane:
And here's the prize you could win when you play along:
I'd also like to add this card to the following challenges:

Your card is awesome Birgit and I love all the dsp you used on this card! The pink library card is a perfect spot for your lovely bouquet of flowers to rest on and the foiled sentiment works perfectly too! Lovely, lovely card my friend and YAY to you for using up some of that dsp!! Hugs. :0)
I like the striped paper as background for your lovely bunch of flowers!

Fantastic! Loving all of your elements and all of your fabulous layers! That library card tugs at my heart! Pretty, pretty papers and lovely florals! That sweet little scallop border is darling. Funny story about our quaint little village, went to get a library card at our local South Chatham Library just around the corner, was told to fill out an index card--that was it--that is my library card lol And they can get you anything you want! :)
Fabulous design my friend! Love the springtime colors! Thanks for the smile!!
You PRINTED a library card?? You really do have a fun 'bag of tricks' Birgit!! I'm off to see if I can find one, too - I love every single bit of your beautifully designed card!

I did the same thing with most of my 12x12 papers. You sure have some pretty ones here, oh, my goodness. I loved reading your details. I think this is one of my favorites of yours, Birgit. Just gorgeous!
Sweet card, Birgit! I love how all of your bits and pieces came together and made this beautiful design. The library card makes a great background for those pretty flowers. Lovely and very creative!
I'm totally impressed with this card, love how it all came together to make such a beautiful card, and great job of using up some of your older supplies, let alone printing you own library card, WOW!!
Wait... you printed this library card from your computer??!! Wowee, it's incredible! It makes the perfect background for those pretty flowers! Beautiful card, Birgit!
I love the beautiful bouquet, with your library card, I just made a card I will be posting soon with a library card, great minds think a like :). I like your scalloped border on this too!
What an intriguing and smart idea of you to print a library card on your printer. Element on this project makes it gorgeous. Handed off to you for using scrapbook papers cut to size. I will take that hint from you and try to cut some of those scrapbook papers.
Oh, I love, love, LOVE this!!! Such a cute vintage look, and so clever to print that library card on pink paper. I must remember that, thanks for the great inspiration.
This is beautiful, Birgit. I love the library card and your gorgeous soft pastel florals. Thanks so much for sharing your art with us at Word Art Wednesday and please join us again soon. I always enjoy it.
