Baby Occasions - Baby Boy card

Hi Everybody,

The other day I  showed you a baby card for little girls and today it is the turn of the boys

I used the Baby Occasions Additions from the "Christina Collection" and that is available only from Craft Stash

So this card is created using the stamped elephant for the background and I used Blue Print Sketch.

It looks like a really dark ink but it dries a lot softer than you think and it matched the blue card much better than any other shade

But today I have a special treat for you and that is to share not only my own video but also that of my lovely young friend Christine Smith from Crafti Potential
She makes the most amazing cards and this be is no exception.
 I am delighted with what she has done using the stencil from my Baby Occasions

Saturated Canary & Copics

Hi Everybody,

The other day when it was cold and wet I had an afternoon colouring and this beautiful image was my choice to use.

She is called Cinderella and she is from

Saturated Canary

This was a digital image and it is one that I bought some time ago. 

But they have many images now on rubber stamps and at reasonable prices

I have coloured her before but this time I have used the new Copics that I have just bought as a Christmas gift from ME to ME

There are mistakes in it but as I practise with the Copics I will improve and I really enjoyed the process of colouring her in.

I love the images from Saturated Canary as they have big eyes and lots of beautiful hair and are such a pleasure to colour.

Baby Occasions - Baby Girl Card

Hi Everybody,

Baby Cards are always lovely to make and they are something I really enjoy doing especially with flowers, ribbons and pearls on them.

But I have been very restrained with this one and kept it  soft and un-fussy ... well it is for me anyway.

I have used the new additions to my "Christina Collection" and this is the Baby Occasions set of dies, stamps and stencils

The video is not long but I hope you enjoy it all the same Baby Occasions  - Baby Girl Card

With hindsight I wish I had done the baby shoes from the stencil a little deeper in shade and maybe added a few more along the panel.

But once I came to that conclusion it was too late as the card was nearly finished.  Still I will know better next time ... live and learn !!

More tomorrow ...
