Unconventional Baby Card

 Welcome

Yes, another CAS card - this time I was inspired by the January's Monthly  Challenge over at STAMPlorations, which is CAS  and stamps, and they provided a sketch to inspire too....  
what could a girl do with all that goodness to challenge her but make a card.


(Apologies for the 'blue' in this photo, I could not adjust it or re-take the photo)


Here is the image (S009 Bear from Kiwistamping), coloured with chalks, and sentiment (from Montarga), and close up of the bakers twine bow.


I decided I did not like just the silver embossing,  so applied some masking and silver sprayed the narrow panel ... very heavily.


and I love the finished product!!

Maxine this is adorable. I haven't had much time to enter over at Stamplorations this year, so much on my plate but will get back into it eventually.xx

I love how you did that gilded panel! I never thought to pair silver and kraft, but it looks great together! Thank you for playing along at STAMPlorations, Maxine!

This looks like very finely done hand embroidery, and is so pretty & delicate. It's beautiful in both colorways, but I think the blue will have to be my favorite. What a perfect card for parents & a new baby! TFS & Hugs

The embossed outline is an effective and pleasing to the eye technique. The wee bear is an adorable image.
