Button Buddies Baby Card

Hi!

I'm having a rare Monday morning at home today and I realised I hadn't posted a card today so I thought I'd jump on the computer quick smart to rectify the situation!

 

This card was commissioned by my mother-in-law to give to a couple in the family who had just announced they were expecting their first baby.  As gender was obviously unknown at that point I had to go with a fairly neutral colour theme. I decided to use bright colours as I think they capture the excitement of a first baby.

Isn't that saying so appropriate for this card?  I hope they liked it.

Stamps: Button Buddies, Feel Goods, Itty Bitty Banners
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Marina Mist
DSP/Cardstock: Floral District DSP, Wild Wasabi, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Marina Mist, Whisper White
Other: Big Shot, Bitty Banners Framelits, White Baker's Twine, Circle Punches, Dimensionals

Have a great day,

Tina

Festive Friday #46

Hi!

Yay! It's Friday again!  This week it's my week for Festive Friday Challenges.

This week Nicole has given us a sketch to play with. It's a fantastic sketch that has plenty of scope for interpretation.

I certainly took a few liberties with the interpretation!

As you can see, I flipped it on it's side and swapped the waves for scallops - my new Delicate Designs Embossing Folder and coordinating Large Scallop Edgelit had just arrived and I wanted to play with them! I coloured parts of the raised design with my Silver Stampin' Dazzle Marker.

If you look closely you can see that the Whisper White panel is stamped with the small snowflake from Snow Swirled. I stamped it with my Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad. I mustn't've cleaned my stamp properly last time I used it because the images stamped a little pink (I think I last used Cherry Cobbler with the stamp) and now my inkpad it stained a little.  Oh well! The effect looks great on this card in real life though!

I also stamped the snowflake on the inside at the top and bottom - it's so hard to photograph nicely!

I hope you can play along this week at Festive Friday!

Also, please come back tomorrow (Saturday) for a blog hop showcasing products from the current Holiday Catalogue.

Bye for now,

Tina
