Welcome
Back again and this time with a card for a wee girl, that did not start as an 'ooops' 😀
I started with the pink paper from my stash, and decided to highlight her age by using a red die cut over a gold scalloped oval
The teddy bear stencil was home made using a punch (old and unmarked) and some acetate. I used tea dye DI over the cream card I laid the stencil on, then drew in their faces, and mounted the panel with a layer of lace on either side
The stamp (my original HB stamp, now discontinued, still going strong after 20 nearly years) was clear embossed over red ink, then coloured with a gold pen
All the edges of the layers were also wiped over the red ink - Catherine Pooler Rouge, from memory.
I finished the inside with some gold polka dot washi tape.

I love the little line up of bears

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute baby girl birthday card Maxine! I love that you are getting more mileage from your punch by making it into a stencil. Clever! The lace is such a pretty touch and I love that you added the birthday number to the scallop. I hope Mum keeps this card for this little one so she can look at her cards once she is older, she will love it! Hugs, Brenda

What a brilliant idea to use acetate to make a stencil with the bear punch. Now it can be used over and over again. Love the way you have coloured them and the faces are exquisite.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the way you have highlighted the lettering with that drop shadow. Very nice indeed.
Blessings, Neet xx
A sweet birthday card. A fabulous idea for the homemade stencil to create the cute teddies. Lovely textures with the pretty lace and gold glitter card.
