Hello my crafty peeps how are we today Fine and dandy I
hope. Well yes I am back already with another card for you which was a little
bit of an emergency make. My dear friend (she’s more family than a friend)from across the street
came over Tuesday night looking all a fluster with phone in hand I’m thinking
she’s going to burst into tears here what the hell has happened!!!!???? Then she
shows me this bundle in blue she had become a grandmother a couple of days
early. She hadn’t told me whether her son and his girlfriend were having a boy
or girl so I knew I would have to wait until it was born to make the card. So
that is what I did after she left I set to it but what a choice I had to make
straight to my Mo Manning baby images eeeeekkkkkk do I use just a normal baby
or a fairy baby
Decisions decisions (brain
over fry) I decided to go with a baby image rather than fairy and chose
shiny and new as (shock
horror)I have had the image since it was first released but NEVER coloured it until now.
It’s really strange
to think that little lad I know from all those years ago playing football on
the green is now a daddy himself.
And here it is it’s an 8x8” card I used linen effect card to
make the base the sketch is one I have used a few times for the LO in fact I
used it about this time last year for another baby card (for the little girl I made
Birthday trike card for). You can find Jules sketches here. The papers are from Pixel
scrapper and I have distressed and inked the edges with tumbled glass broken
china and faded jeans.
The image as I said is from Mo Manning and
is called shiny and new Isn’t it just the cutest I
have coloured the image in with my Polychromo
and luminance pencils I am really pleased with how it came out. Then for
the background I did something a little different I still used distress inks
and my stencil brushes but I added Tumbled glass firstly to the bottom (rather than the top as I normally
do) then broken china and faded jeans but only a little of these, I then
got my pro markers out it’s been an age since I used these and made loads of
dots all over where I had inked to give the impression of a rug or something
rather than ground. I then did the top of the image with antique linen, frayed
burlap, pumice stone and a touch of walnut stain. I then die cut the image out
using an xcut circle die and distressed the edges and inkedI used the same die to make the matt.
I did this by simply drawing around the outer edge of the die (it gives you just the right
amount of border doing this) then distressed the edges of this but kept
it white.
I made the sentiment at the same time as printing the papers
I cut it out inked matted onto a scrap of white card then started on the
embellishments. I love my baby embellishments, I got them from America when we
went a couple of year ago. I took a glass dummy(this was actually brought from the NEC) and added it to a
fussy bow I had made then attached this to the strip of Gingham ribbon I had put down the side. Then I added the
bottle nappy pin and baby vest to the other side of the image.
Finally it was the insert again using a paper from the front
and matting on top with a white piece I brought the image through and used it
on the left hand side under this I put the baby’s name and DOB, then on the
other side and verse for a new born baby boy
There you have my card for today I hope you like it and I
will see you soon but for now I will leave you with a list of challenges and
another look at the gorgeous image
