And another baby card....

Hi Everyone,
Well this time I thought I'd make up a "pastels" baby card, at least it can be used for a boy or girl this one! 

Who doesn't love this cute Baby Bear Stamp set?  I'm hoping he continues into the next annual catalogue, all will be revealed on 11th April when the retiring list comes out!  I really like the way you can cut out the bow with the Holly Berry Builder Punch (yes I could hand cut but isn't it so much nicer to have an implement do it for you? lol)  I've also used the largest Lots of Labels framelit die, which the teddy fits into nicely. Oh and for the background for teddy, I've cut a mask of the teddy which I laid over him (after I realised that the So Saffron colour would show up over top of him - oops!) and used one of the Gorgeous Grunge Stamps.  It looked a bit boring plain!

Hope this inspires you to create,
God Bless love

Global Design Project (GDP081)

Hi Everyone,
I keep meaning to join in the Global Design Project, and by the time I know it, the week has gone... again!
So this time I'm hoping to get in on the act with this card, I've created it for friends we know who've just had a baby boy, bet you can't guess his name - lol!
The brief is a colour combo this time, Night of Navy,  White and a free colour


Here we are my creation! those who know me will know I'm not a traditional light blue and light pink baby card person, so this palette suited me well for this card

 Not sure it shows up terribly well, but I've used Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper to create the name, then sponged/daubed the Night of Navy to 1/2 way up (I love this graduated colour look), I've used some of the beautiful Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper in the background.
Then the little teddy out of the Bookcase Builder Stamp set, and also the saying from Baby Bear Stamp set.  The extra colour I've used is the Silver Foil line across the middle of the card I think it gives just the right amount of zing to the card😊
I hope they like it, and it makes it into a baby album at some point!  What do you think? have you ever tried sponging the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper?

I hope it inspires you to have a go!
God Bless love
