Super Sweet

Hello!

 

It is Thursday and only one more day until the end of a very hectic week.  We are bracing ourselves here in Sydney for some very hot weather.  Today it was 38 degrees and tomorrow and the weekend are looking to be the same or even 41 degrees.

 

I know my daughter loves it as she is in the pool!

 

I just wanted to share with you a card I made for my Cousin and his Wife who recently had a little baby boy called Sam.  Mum chose the 3D decoupage image and then the layout for my card was inspired by the current sketch at Mojo Monday.

 

I added some random liquid pearls on the right side of the swirls on the paper, unfortunately they cannot be seen in this picture but they added a little bit more texture to the card.

 

I just love the stamp from the That’s the Ticket Stampin Up stamp set, it reads 100% Perfect Precious Baby.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp: Teeny Tiny Sentiments, That’s the Ticket, Love & Joy, Gorgeous Grunge

Another post to share with you the details of our new challenge at Crafty Creations.

 

For the next two weeks we are going Vintage, so please come and join us and if you need some inspiration there is plenty to see from the Design Team here.

 

For my card I wanted to use a stamp set called “Love and Joy”, which can be used for Christmas but I have used it for a celebration card, just because I love the two simple words.

 

I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip on to Naturals White cardstock, which has been die cut and embossed using the Nestabilities Captivating Squares set.  I daubed with Crumb Cake before I removed the cardstock from the die to get the highlights on the embossing.

 

Both papers used are recent purchases, the first layer of paper is from Authentique Paper I am not sure of the name and the other paper is by Marion Smith Garment District “Manhattan” range – just love it! 

 

I folded the edges of the Authentique Paper and then paper piercing (which I haven’t done for ages) a couple of sides and then added more daubered Crumb Cake ink.  The faux stitching has been created with the Crumb Cake marker.

 

The lace is from my stash, so is the retired ribbon, Pearls and the Vintage Brads.

 

Here is my card:
