Hi there crafty friends… for our challenge – New Beginnings I have a New Baby card to share with you.

Aren’t these the cutest little toys.  Last month I took part in Online Card Classes, Mask-erade class, so put into practice one of the techniques I learned.  I stamped the owl first and then made a mask out of Post It tape before stamping the fox and bunny. These stamps are from this set.   I used some Copics to colour them in.   My background was made with this stamp  I white embossed it before using some Distress inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire) to sponge on.   I finished off with a die cut and matching sentiments from this set    I die cut the Congrats in white and then once I stuck it on, went round the edge with a black maker.  I white embossed the rest of the sentiment onto the blue card.

My second card combines some WPlus9 stamps and dies with Hero Arts stamps and Dies.  Once again I used the Congrats  die and stamp set.  The background was watercoloured with Derwent Inktense pencils, as was the baby elephant and the balloons.  The die cuts on the balloons are from Alphabet Uppercase dies (currently not available in our shop but you can CUSTOM Order it in the Store.
