Baby Card for A Boy...

 Good Morning

I have made a baby card especially for some friends that are expecting their baby boy anytime soon.

Close up..

I decided to use a Turquoise blue using a Distress Oxide Ink Pad- Evergreen Bough.

I have used a 6"x6" White card base.

I cut the spotted card to fit the card leaving a white border as I usually do. I inked around the edge of the spotted card with a VersaMark ink pad and used white embossing powder, to give a distressed look, then attached to the main card. I added a contrasting striped card, slightly smaller 13cm x 11.5cm, attached to the card up to the right side of the card. Stamp the image with the ink and clear emboss. Cut the stamped image to 9cm x 7cm rectangle. I painted the hat and suit using the Oxide ink and water brush. Die cut a frame to fit the stamped image and layer over with foam. Leave a small gap of the foam, so as you can tie three pieces of ribbon to the frame. Add to the main card. Add two corner dies in the spotted card and finish with the greeting.

Winter Blooms Birthday Wishes....

 Good Afternoon

Winter Bloom birthday wishes using the Winter Blooms Stamp collection from cardio-Majestix. I used a white tall slim card 21cm x 8cm.

Close up:- 

Cut a piece of Burgundy paper to matte the main card leaving a small white border edge. Add a white  die-cut border down the centre of the card. Cut out a rectangle of white card 8.5cm x 5cm and stamp the flower image as in the picture using all the three sizes and a burgundy ink pad. (I used VersaFine Chianti Ink Pad). Add the branches from the same stamp set and the leaves, which came from another Cardio stamp kit.  Clear emboss them all. Ink around the edges of the card and emboss. Add the rectangle to the main card 2.5cm from the top.  Die-cut the bow and tail in the Burgundy paper and add to the card. Attach a bow with knots at either end in button thread and add to the top of the rectangle so as to look like a picture frame. Add a greeting and finish off with Liquid Pearls.

Close up…

Die-cut three tags, one of each size, the largest in white card the other two in patterned paper. Emboss the greeting on the plain white tag. Stamp out two of the Snowdrops with the green ink pad and clear emboss both. Fussy cut around the stamped images. Cut a rectangle from patterned paper 6cm x 15cm and attach to the left side of he card as in the picture. Add all three tags to the card leaving a small gap to fit the Snowdrops. With the marker pen add a stitch all the way round the main card and the larger of the tags. Colour in the Snowdrops with the marker pen and add the Liquid Pearls to the petals.
