Vintage Nursery
This is a card I did a few weeks ago for Jami’s swap and we couldn’t post until the swaps were out. I still haven’t received my box, but I am so anxiously waiting!!! Thank you girls!!! I called this Vintage Nursery because these colors look so vintage to me - this makes me think of vintage baby. I had to use the colors from the Boho West color scheme in the SU catalog and Nursery Necessities. Here it is:
The base is Chocolate Chip, with a Purely Pomegranate layer on top and then the white panel, stamped with Pretty in Pink using the Floral background stamp, edges lightly sponged to finish and soften. I used the corner rounder with the guard removed to create the scallop and used the Crop-a-dile to punch the holes.
The moon is stamped in Craft Regal Rose and embossed with Iridiscent Ice. The inner circle is punched out with the 1 3/8″ punch and the outer circle can be punched with a 2″ punch (non SU) or cut out with the Coluzzle. It is then mounted onto a 2 1/2″ circle (again, using a non-SU punch or the Coluzzle). On this Pomeganate circle I stamped a few stars in the same color ink, outlined with a glue pen and sprinkled on Dazzling Diamonds. The star is stamped onto white paper with Chocolate Chip ink, classic, as I didn’t have Craft. Then to emboss it with the Iridescent Ice, I first punched it out and then I had to smoosh it into a Versa Mark pad, and it worked great!!! The sentiment is also from Nursery Necessities. The ribbon is the Chocolate Taffeta!!! I LOVE this set!!!
