Baby Card

Howdy!

Today over at the Make My Monday challenge blog. We have a NEW challenge it's to create something For a Baby!!! Hope y'all have a chance to play along with us!

You never know when you'll need a baby card! So that is what I created today!

This card is all about die cutting and a bit of stamping. When you are creating a baby card, it is important to use pastel colors. And as I do not know who will be receiving this card, I chose to go with a neutral palette. So yes, there is pink and blue but also green and purple. And the card base is kraft cardstock.

Stamps: TAC Trendy Greetings

Paper: CTMH White Daisy, Kraft, Lilac, Glacier, Bashful, Sweet Leaf

Ink: CTMH Nutmeg

Accessories: Park Lane Woodgrain embossing folder, QuicKutz Metro Alphabet dies, Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics B

Howdy Y'all!

Mary Ellen here from Creative Time With ME! In the Online Card Class Spring Card Camp 2 that I am taking we were encouraged to create a card using die cuts or stamps in an unconventional way. But I needed a bit of inspiration to do that. Which is how I found this art piece on Amazon.



This is my interpretation of the piece.

Howdy!

Today's card is being entered into the following challenges:
Paper Smooches Anything Goes
Christmas with the Cuties Challenge No #35 Theme: ANYTHING (Christmas) GOES WITH OPTIONAL CLEAN AND SIMPLE
The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge # 66 - Anything Christmas Goes

This is my Day 4 coloring project for The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

For this card, I started out by stamping both on the card and on a Post-It. I took the stamped image on the Post-It to create a mask. I also took some acetate sheet and cut it down to A2 card size, to create a mask. After that I took the acetate sheet to create a mask by die cutting a circle out. Then I colored the Santa with my colored pencils. After I was done coloring, I used my Fantastix and baby oil to blend out the penicl. I then used the Post-It note mask to cover up Santa on the cardstock. And then put the mask over the cardstock. I then brought out my makeup brush and Mint ink. Once the ink blending was done. I then stamped my sentiment and die cut it into a fishtail flag shape. Then I put that piece over some black scrap and fussy cut out a fishtail flag. And followed that up by using some scrap to cut out the tree. For the tree, I rubbed some darker green color ink. Once done, I glued the sentiment and tree onto the cardstock.
