Welcome Baby Amelia

Supplies:  October Afternoon pp, MemrieMare ribbon on Etsy, 

A Day for Daisies digital image, Spellbinders Labels Die, pink 

cardstock for matting by Canson, Docrafts Card blank, copic markers, 

computer generated sentiment and font - Aquarelle.

I made this a while ago for a friend to welcome her new Baby Niece into this world.  I paired a pink ribbon with a softer tone of pink to create a contrast (I'm not really a pinky girly girl!).  

I used a beautiful digital image by A Day For Daisies.  If you are not familiar with ADFD be sure to check out their site here and they also have a group Paper Craft Planet and Simply Scrapping Crafts.

Thanks for peeking and I hope you have a wonderful blessed day.

A Day for Daisies Blog Hop & Challenge

Did you see the digital freebies that Tammy is offering this week over on A Day For Daisies?

I am a HUGE fan of ADFD and adore all the beautiful delicate images that Tammy creates.  This week they are having a wonderful Summer Blog Hop and the challenge is a "triple" challenge - hence my three cards above.  

On this card I let the little cupcakes take centre stage and added colour with copics and diamond stickles.  I then matted it on purple cardstock and adhered it to the kraft using pop dots for some dimension.

I used an SRM sentiment sticker and hand cut the digital image and then added a layer of colour with copics.  Of course, I had to top it off with a layer of glossy accents to make the "frosting" shine!  The punch is a pansy border punch by Martha Stewart.

On this card I used a fun sentiment by Create with TLC which was a freebie a while ago, I printed both the image and sentiment on Bristol Board by Daler Rowney (doesn't bleed when you use it with copics).  Then added a layer of glossy accents on top of the pink to create "frosting/icing".  Matted and layered on coloured cardstock and used pop dots for added dimension.

I had so much fun creating this set of cards.  Thanks for peeking and be sure to pop over and check out the wonderful blog hop and challenge - there are prizes!!

Hope you have a great start to your week.

Summer Card Camp 2011

If I was being graded for Summer Card Class 2011 - I would be totally flunking!!!  Never managed to get a card made last week! so this week just had to try and finish a quick one before tomorrow night's deadline.

Made this card with a fun freebie digi from A Day for Daisies who are having a wonderful blog hop at the moment.  Check it out here.  You have to create a triple or trio of creations.  So whilst I am sharing my first one here - I am off to make two more before I link up to the challenge on ADFD!

I coloured the printed digi with copics in the five colours above and then added an SRM sentiment sticker and diamond stickles (as sprinkles!).

Thanks for peeking - hope you are having a terrific weekend.

A Day for Daisies - Pastels no pink

Supplies:  A Day for Daisies - digi image (freebie last week), 

AC ribbon, vintage buttons from stash, Aqua cardstock - Folia, 

copics, stickles - diamond, adhesive, pop dots.

I adore A Day for Daisies wonderful digital images.  They are so delicate and adorable.  This was the freebie available last week and I used it to make a card for this week's challenge - "Pastels but no pink"!.  I kept my colour palette to a monochromatic look rather than mix a range of pastels.  I used aqua (pale green) as my foundation.

Thanks so much for peeking and be sure to check out the ADFD website here.

Try a new technique!

 Supplies:  Digi - Vintage Baby Bunting by A Day for Daisies, 

MME pp - Stella Rose Hazel Collection, pink textured cardstock by 

Papermania, Bristol Board by Daler Rowney, PTI sentiment, Memento 

Black Tuxedo Ink, Machine Stitching, white card blank and pop dots.

This week's challenge over on "A Day for Daisies" is to try a new technique.

  I decided to use the ADFD digital image without any colour rather than my usual full colour!.  So I printed this adorable baby image and put it on a very bright coloured pink textured cardstock.

I then machine stitched it to the pp, added the sentiment and adhered the image on top using pop dots.

Thanks so much for peeking.
