Adorable Baby

Good morning!

I love Saturdays, don't you? Especially as I have the day off and I'm re-organising my craft room, with Jen's help! We went to Ikea last night to get my new furniture. It should have been uneventful, but it wasn't! We got stuck in the lift! It is my first time and I can tell you, it will be my last because I do not plan to go in a lift again!! (or at least for a very long while!)

Another good thing about Saturdays is the new challenge at Less Is More, and this week it's 

NEW BABY

Now, as it happens, I made a new baby card for my DT card for our new sketch at Sketch Saturday this week, so I am entering it into this challenge.

I have used a stamp from a Stampin' Up! set called Sweetest Gift. It's stamped in Wisteria Wonder and I paper pierced the edge for interest.

I embossed the bottom half of the card blank with the Perfect Polka Dots EF and the banners are created using two of the FREE Sale-a-Bration products...Banner Blast stamps and Banner Punch.

Hello!

Welcome to Guylaine, my newest follower!

I have a card here that took me longer to make than it really should have, all because I couldn't choose which papers to use!

So I settled on these ones, and embossed the middle panel with dots, which I think works well with the papers, don't you?

A closer look at the middle...

I raised the centre sentiment to add some definition to the card, though not too much, in case it needs to be posted.

Cardstock - Whisper White

Stamps - Pretty Petites (Sale-A-Bration)

Markers - Old Olive, Indigo Island, Tangerine Tango

Thanks for saying hi this evening!

A card inspired by another!

Good evening all :)

I have a card here that I've made for the Colour Q challenge. As soon as I saw this colour combo, and the stunning card made by Sylvia, it inspired me to CASe her card. 
So here is my card...

A closer view

And here is Sylvia's card...

Isn't it just stunning??

I used similar techniques to Sylvia too, including stamping and embossing my image before colouring with my Stampin' Up! markers. A little trick I discovered whilst colouring...if you don't have a watercolour blender pen, try spritzing a little water onto a tile or some acetate, and dip your coloured marker into the water before colouring. Then, as the water wears out, the colour gets deeper, so creating some shading.

Supplies used

Cardstock - Whisper White, Crumb Cake

Stamps - Elements Of Style

Markers - More Mustard, Old Olive, Riding Hood Red

Embossing Folders - Adorning Accents Folders, Perfect Polka Dots

Dies - Labels Collection Framelits, Adorning Accents Edglits

Other - Versamark Embossing Pad, Stampin' Emboss Powder; Clear
