I needed to make a new baby card for a work colleague and at the time of making it she was still waiting for the happy day to come not knowing what sex her baby was so I made two cards, one for a boy and one for a girl. I'm happy to say that she had her little girl on Sunday so that is why I have featured the pink card first and shown the other one further down.
The tags for both were die-cut with a stitched die and stamped with free dies from old copies of two different magazines. The stamping on the pink card is simply highlighted with a matching coloured pencil. The coiled string graphic is printed onto the card background.
As it's an 'Anything Goes' week and I have principally used one of their dies, I would also like to enter my cards into the Paper Smooches Sparks October Week 1 challenge. I only have a few of their products but love using them and the dies cut really well.
Die: Tag Stitched KFBD126 (Paper Smooches)
Stamps: Magazine freebies
Ink Pad: Atlantic Blue (Versacolor)
Snippets: Coloured cardstock, Ribbon oddments, Pink pencil, Gold metallic thread

I knew you would have a pink one and a blue one, just in case! They are both fab cards and I'm sure your colleague will treasure the pink one Had fun with the sketch too

Such a great idea to use a graphic for the circles and I love that dark pink - more modern than the usual sugar pink. Great sketch Stef, loved using it.
ReplyDeleteaw, so adorable. Thank you so much for playing along with the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are terrific! I like the little sparkles in the pink ribbon - such a fun girly touch. The gold cord adds shine to the blue card but retains a masculine feel. Super!
