This is a card that I made a while ago to congratulate a couple on their first grand baby! They were so excited to welcome the little one.
The card was made using a bronze metallic cardstock, a layer of white and then a layer of designer paper - this paper was just in my collection sooooooo, I don't know the name.
The stamp set I used was SU - Teddy & Train and I stamped them in Stazon - Jet Black. I coloured the two images using Staedtler watercolour pencils and blended them with an aqua pen filled with Ink Potion #9. This is the best stuff, it's clear and works just like water but doesn't curl the paper!
I used EK - Dotted Scallop punch under the train and the teddy is layered over Spellbinders - Classic Scalloped Squares Small. I added a little ribbon and a few pearls and the card was done.
This is the verse I found for the inside - love it!
Thanks for checking out my blog :)
I made this card for a sweet little girl that came into our family. I started with a white cardstock card, folded it and cut about 1/4" off of the bottom of the front of the card. I used the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge Punch on the cut white edge. For this card I picked three other pink cardstocks that worked well with the designer paper - a dark, medium, and light pink. The medium pink cardstock I edged with the doily lace punch and layered it over the white lace. I cut a strip of the darker pink cardstock 1 1/2" wide and used the doily lace punch on both long edges. This was layered under the white lace. By punching both edges, the inside of the card looks nice too!
The designer paper came from our local dollar store in a little package of baby paper, this I cut to fit over the top part of the card, leaving the lace underneath. The tag is the light pink cardstock and was cut using Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two, this is a set that I have used a lot! The flowers were cut using SU Floral Fusion die. I rolled the petals in towards the center of the flowers using the end of a paint brush to help roll them. They were then layered together and glued on the card. They were cut from patterned paper in the package of baby paper. The leaves were cut from scraps of cardstock in soft green solid and a soft green pattern using SU Little Leaves die. Off white half pearls were added to the flowers and the tag.
The inside of the card has another piece of the designer paper. The labels were made using the light pink cardstock, white cardstock, and Spellbinders Labels Twenty. The sentiment on the front and the verse inside were from All Night Media - Baby Cakes set.
Thanks for looking :)
