Another baby card


Here's my second ever baby card, made partly in anticipation of an upcoming birth to a friend who really is not into pink or girly, not that we know the sex of the baby yet. Using another one of the Pebbles Inc stickers, covered with lemon vellum, tiny buttons to hide the glue. Letters are Heidi Swapp ghost letters backed with gingham paper and attached onto 3D foam pads for dimension. A swirly clip, tiny teddy buttons and charm add more detail. The original card is more lemon in real life.

Ruffled Bloom stamp

So here are my first attempts with the Ruffled Bloom stamp that I bought at the Reebok show recently. I also used my Autumn Leaves swirls and flourishes stamps and my new Hero Arts words stamps. Used Versafine Onyx Black ink for all of them and colour washed with Ranger Distress inks in Worn Lipstick and Dried Marigold. One of them has some touches of gold Sakura pen to highlight the flourishes. All four cards were very quick to make, but I'm reasonably pleased with the results.
