I hope you're all well?
Great news about the New Royal Arrival yesterday, another baby boy born in the same week (just!) as my new wee nephew! Oh such different lives they shall lead! Good luck to all and any new Mummys and Daddys out there!
Another new arrival today sees a new challenge at the Creative Card Crew and we are being sponsored this fortnight by the Scrapping Center!
So the challenge for this fortnight is...
Baby!
or Lot's of blue
(to celebrate the new Royal baby boy)
or Lot's of blue
(to celebrate the new Royal baby boy)
or Lot's of pink
(to celebrate the birth of Mari's new granddaughter!)
So we expect loads of new arrival cards this fortnight! Or if you don't have a baby card to do you can still enter as long as your card has either lots of blue or lots of pink!
I needed a card for a boy, so it's a baby one, but not too pink - and I haven't made one for my brother yet as they haven't totally decided on a name yet! Here's what I did:
I made an easel card
The gorgeous image I used is Baby Christening by Lili of the Valley and I coloured him with the following copics: Skin: E21,13,00,0000,R20. Everything else: BV00,0000,E41,40,W3,1,00.
The papers are Pink Petticoat and I printed them onto pearl paper, so the card was a nightmare to photograph as no matter where I placed my lamp, it glared off the paper! But it looked lovely in real life! Dies used are Spellbinders Fleur De Lis squares, Fancy Tags, Labels 3 and circle. The ribbon is from Stampin' Up! and the pearls, buckle and lace are from my stash. I made a box to complete the gift and scored the top panel with my score board to match the card.
and the inside with the computer generated sentiment.
So I do hope you can join us this fortnight at the Creative Card Crew - pop over to see the rest of the DT creations for some fab inspiration!
I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:
4 Crafty Chicks; Let's hear it for the boys
Crafts 4 Eternity; Inky fingers
