Pastels for Baby

Hello again. I have a baby card to share using a previously bought but unused die set from A Pocket Full of Happiness:

I chose to follow the colour scheme from Sparkles Forum, which is to use pastel colours, and to include a rabbit. This die set comes with dies to create a rabbit, tiger, monkey, and a horse, and includes the square stitched die in the packet, as well as the letters.

I chose card stock from Concord & 9th, and some random scrap pieces, cutting out the rabbit in four different pastel colours, the die cut them all again in a darker pink for the ears, mouth and nose, as well as black for the eyes and eye brows.

I applied some double sided sticky tape to the rear of the rabbit die cuts, then inlaid the respective pink and black pieces.

The letters for the word ‘baby’ were die cut in each of the four pastel colours, then layered with a couple of white die cuts for dimension.

The background panel was created using a Pinkfresh Studio cover plate called ‘Stitched Octagons‘, which was adhered to a white card base.

The squares were attached with 3D foam, as was each of the rabbits, then the stacked letters glued down.

Doesn’t time fly? It seems to have been a while since I posted, so I will try and correct that over the coming days. The post today is to share a card for the new challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. Billie A is hosting and she has chosen the theme of ‘For a baby’. Here is my card:

I don’t make baby cards at all, but this die set was from an online event run by Scrapbook and Cards Today in February of this year.

I first chose to make a blue card and started with a blue card base. Onto that I layered a cover plate die.

The onesie was die cut, then ink blended over the top to create the star detail. The frog was die cut and adhered.

The word was die cut several times and stacked for dimension, then all glued together.

I hope you can come and join us with your baby themed creations. xx
