Baby Boy

Good afternoon, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. For how long I don't know, we better make the most of it!

Had a text from my daughter this morning, requesting a baby card for a friend of her's whose just had a little boy. I knew I should have made a boy card when I made the pink baby card a while back! Never mind, a good excuse to get into the craft room.

The card is based on this weeks challenge at Seize the Sketch . 

The stamp is the same DoCrafts stamp, this time coloured in blue. The image was double mounted on satin blue and white card. The panel is in the same satin blue card, embossed with a Cuttlebug folder. The tab is part of the Marianne Collectable COL 1315 set stamped with a Personal Impression sentiment. The gingham backing paper is from Forever Friends.

Don't forget you can still enter our

That's it for today, so I'll sign off and thank you for popping by.

My favourite style

Good afternoon everyone and thanks for popping around.

It's a gorgeous day outside, and I've just come back from a walk across the fields to help Al fill the hay racks for the sheep. It must have chucked it down last night 'cos the fields are running in water. The sheep, very sensibly, have taken themselves to higher ground and were sun bathing or drying out!

Anyway it's Sunday and I appear to be making a CAS card again! It is my favourite style at the moment.

This time it is inspired by Sketch Saturday's latest sketch and the theme at Less is More.

The stamp is one I've had for years, think it was from Do Crafts. I've used it quite a few times in the past as my daughter's friends were having lots of babies between them four or so years ago. I have kept the colouring down to a minimum, just using Copic RV10,13,14 to colour the hearts, patches and piping.

The coloured papers are just some scraps from the bit box and I embossed the bottom half of the main card with a swiss dot embossing folder. The words and tag are from Marianne (COL1314).

I am entering this project into the following challenges:-

Less is More - New baby

Sketch Saturday - #293

Sweet Stamping Challenge - Favourite Style

Addicted to CAS - New

CASology - Dot
