Baby Girl
Finally, a girl card with Nursery Necessities!!! This was made for Julia’s challenge today at SCS to do a monochromatic card. I, obviously, chose pinks!!! I also used the layout from a few weeks back at Card Positioning Systems, CPS40! That’s a very interesting site. Check it out if you are in need of some fun layouts. Other than Roxie’s Wednesday challenge at SCS, I don’t typically ever follow specific layouts as I much prefer to just move my pieces around and create as I go. I had my first experience with CPS last week when Flourishes sponsored the sketch, and it was really fun so thought I’d give it a try again!!! Here’s my card:
The card base is stamped with the Floral background in Pretty in Pink. The vertical panel is Rose Red Prints DP. My elephant is stamped in Regal Rose and my star is stamped in Regal Rose on Whisper White, then punched with the large star punch. I wish the punch were a tad larger than the stamp so it would leave a white border, but it isn’t!!! So I glued my star to white paper and cut around it to get the white border I wanted. ThenI smooshed the entire works into a Versa Mark pad and then embossed with Iridescent Ice EP. It is super sparkly and pretty IRL!!! All my corners were rounded. It’s pretty self-explanatory when you look at the photo. The ribbon is Regal Rose. I really do like this color combo!!!
- Stamps: Nursery Necessities, Floral
- Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red Prints Designer Paper
- Ink: Black Stazon, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Versa Mark
- Accessories: Regal Rose Ribbon, Brads, Corner Rounder, Large Star Punch, Glue Stick, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Crafter’s Tool Kit, Mounting Tape, Pop Dot.
OK, now I have to move on to tomorrow’s Stamp Simply Challenge. It’ll be fun and EASY — guaranteed. I plan to make several samples (that’s how easy it is — LOL!!!). Some will be with this set (I just can’t put it away yet) and some will be with Flourishes images, so please stop backto check out mychallenge sampleson Friday morning and play along if you are so inclined!!! Thanks much — hope you all have a great day!!!

This is a lovely card! BTW, I’m not sure why Google Reader is doing this, but for your last few postings, Google Reader has been showing the same color challenge card and text from a few days ago, even though the titles are the right ones. Very strange…
Wow this is just darling. I love the colors. What a great layout and just so pretty.

Hi Sharon, Not sitting at the computer too long yet so hope you don’t mind if I comment on all the cards I missed here. The baby cards are just adorable. I love every one of them and how you used the the new stamp set. I can see that Nursery Necessities will probably be on my list. They are just too cute. ~Dream~ is just gorgeous…another set I absolutely love. The archway is beautiful and the flowers are just so dainty and pretty. Great colors on the top arches, too. Love the color combo on Thinking of You. Great challenge card. The small arch is pretty, too. And I love anything with gingham ribbon.
You have such an eye for detail and your execution is perfect. Love your work!!
