Sweet sleep

Welcome, and thank you for visiting again.

I have had a run of making baby cards recently, and this one was made with the Stamping Sisters In Christ challenge in mind.

The challenge was to Dig in your stash and use one of your oldest stamp sets, one that hasn't seen any use for a long while.

I used two of my original stamps in the background - the script stamp is from Kiwistamping, a local company who are totally responsible for my stamping addiction, and my first ever purchase are the flower stamps, two from a trio from Hero Arts which is now deleted.  The script was simply stamped with chalk ink, and the flowers were stamped with embossing ink and clear embossed.

The adorable focal image is a digistamp, a freebie, by May Brit. This was coloured in chalks after being printed in Cryogen paper, and was mounted on foam dots for some dimension.

This photograph gives some idea of the subtle sparkle in the paper that shows through the colouring medium.

I fussy cut the image and mounted it on an oval cut using a Nestabilitie Classic oval that was sponged before removing the die.  this was mounted over the organza ribbon which was folded in half to get the strong colour and correct width. The bling was the final touch.

Baby Blues

Greetings again - I managed some time in the studio today and made a baby card using this delightful digi from May Brit.

I used two different designs of baby dp from a Warehouse pack, and embossed them both with a folder called "Gem Swirls". 

The large piece was mounted on the white card stock base, and the smaller pieces mounted the panels of dark blue.

The image was coloured with chalks and 'fixed' with a quick spray of hair spray.  The edges of the image panel were sponged with blue ink.

This was attached to the base with sticky tape, but I used some foam spots in the top left corner to compensate for the layers,  it also gave a lovely sense of dimension to the whole.

I finished the card with a bow and some rhinestones - I had forgotten that I still had some of these larger, clear rhinestones in my stash.

I photographed this in the late afternoon and the white background of the image has taken the colour of the sun setting.... Ah but it was lovely to see the sun!
