Baby News

I believe this card will have made it's way across "the pond" so I now feel it is safe to post it on my blog. I am not aware that quads are expected - only one as far as we know but I used a selection of colours as we don't know the sex yet. Yellow and Grey were the wedding colours so appropriate that a baby was in each colour. Stamps used are from MFP and MFT. There is white pink and blue embossing powders on the background - blue and pink are sparkly but most of the sparkle drops off when you heat it - ugh!

Congratulations to Laura and James.

VLVApr2014 Butterflies

The inspiration picture and sketch from VLVApr2014 Week 3 led to this card below.  It wasn't where I was originally going but the lettering on the wall reminded me of wings.  The colours are inspired by the photo too, but using the papers I had to hand.  That background is dark BLUE.

Here are the inspiration and sketch

 

 

 

The butterfly and banner dies are from Spellbinders and the sentiment is from Marks Finest Papers.

Today we have another fun set to share with you, the last set of this month's hop and I have two cards to show you.  My first card is a folded card (my first one of these) and I hope to use it to give a gift of cinema tickets - you can see how I have mocked it up in the second photo.  I layered up the image - very fiddly but I think it was worth it - the popcorn is raised up the most.

 This one uses the film strip from this set and ducks from the set called Oh Baby.  Having made it I decided it reminded me of the duck shooting game at the fun-fair - I hope this idea doesn't attach itself to the card when it is given!!!
