Stampin' Up! Australia - Dynamic Duos #65 - Baby card

Dear Stampin' friends,

 

It's a week of 'subtle' colours at Dynamic Duos. Subtles aren't really my strong suit, so I used the Stampin' Up! Simply Fabulous Simply Sent card kit to help me.

This kit has the beautiful die cut whisper white base, a Pistachio Pudding envelope and the ribbon + a heap of other embellishments including that cute heart! I added the Blushing Bride DSP and some Pistachio Pudding cardstock as my base.

The stamped image is from a retired stamp called "Baby Steps". I still use it all the time as it is adorable!! I embossed it in white and then lightly sponged around the image (after it dried) with Blushing Bride ink.....just to bring out the image a little bit.

Very easy and quick card. :)

 

.....oooh....and I made a bow......I MADE A BOW....

***none of my cards have bows as I am hopeless at them**

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #8 - Baby Card

Soft Sky Card #2

Dear Stampin' friends

I was in need of a sketch today to complete my next card on my Color Coach Challenge journey, so I looked to Freshly Made Sketches who had this lovely sketch to work with:

The Color Coach combo today is Soft Sky/Pear Pizzazz/Blushing Bride. I only have retired DSP in Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz so I'm using that up for this card + some retired accessories (ribbon & brad). I don't use a lot of Soft Sky in this card....but I think it makes a lovely accent against the baby pink tones. :)

  

Cheers
Alison

Baby Girl Card - ColorLab Challenge

I created this card for my friend's baby - she is due in about 6 weeks, but I'm due in about 2 weeks so I thought I'd better get the card ready now. :)

This was also for the ColorLab Color Challenge #31 which involved matching Pink Pirouette with Peach Parfait & Baja Breeze. It wasn't a combo that looked like it would work, but it seemed to team quite nicely - especially with a crisp white.

Even though I had a piece of of Pink Pirouette CS, I only had ink in Blushing Bride so the stamp is inked in that - you can't really tell though.

Materials used:
Cardstock - Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait

Ink - Blushing Bride, Versamark (for edge of card)
Embellishments - Kaisercraft rhinestones

Tools - Cuttlebug embossing folder Swiss Dots, Itty Bitty Punches
