New Baby Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope you are having a great week. The weather here has been rather kind.

I was asked to make a new baby card for a colleague of my husband. The request was for it to be not gender specific.

I decided to go for yellows and greens. The paper and card were in my stash. I cut a frame for the image with Innsbruck die set from the Austrian Collection designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. 

The cute hedgehog is a stamp by Penny Black called Baby Hammock. I added the sentiments top and bottom from a stamp set by LC Designs. All the stamps were stamped with Watering Can Archival and the image was coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. 

I used the Delicate Daisy dies and the Faux Quilled Leaves single leaf to create the flowers and leaves. Those are Sue Wilson dies too. 

I was pleased with how this card turned out. I often make cards for people at my husband's work.

Happy Crafting

LOTV Wedding Card

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

I hope that you have had a wonderful weekend and are now fighting fit for the week ahead. We visited our daughter and did lots of jobs in the house. When her fiance got home we went out for a nice meal. Then on Sunday we saw our friend who lost his wife recently we had another very nice meal out. So not much cooking for me this weekend.

A friend asked me to make a wedding card for her. The bride and groom wanted money as a gift so she thought a nice card would be a good idea I tried hard not to let her down.

For the background I used a Spellbinder's corner die. I cut four and placed them in the corners over a patterned paper. 

This is a Crafter's Companion die. I cut it twice so I could create a shadow. 

The image came from the LOTV Occasions Set 3. This is such a useful set. I stamped with black archival onto water colour card and then coloured with my Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens. I coloured the image first and my colouring suggested the colours for the rest of the card. Blues was the suggestion by my friend but it became more teal. To frame the image I used some dies from the Innsbruck set from the Austrian Collection by Sue Wilson. 

I used the Sue Wilson Esquiste Poppy die set to create the flowers and the Olive branch die set to make the foliage. 

My friend was very pleased with this card. I am very pleased that she like it. 

I would like to enter Week 254 at Pixie's Snippets Playground and challenge 337 at Craft Your Passion Challenges. 

Have a great week. 

Happy Crafting
