You should have arrived here from Amy's blog. Betty will be your next step along the way.
I really loved this month's inspiration picture and used some of the lovely spring colors to make a baby card.
I used the Making a Statement stamp set to create this card. I love the whimsical flowers and cute font combinations on the sentiments. For my flowers, I stamped the outline first in my desired ink color (Groovy Guava, Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery) and then flipped the stamp over and inked up the back. I stamped it off on scrap paper once before stamping the solid image right over the outline. I love this little trick!

ReplyDeleteI love those colors for a baby card - nice and gender neutral! Great stamp tip reminder that I had forgotten, such a fast was to 'color' I an image. I love the texture on the green paper on the right, is it an embossing folder?

ReplyDeleteI LOVE how, instead of using the dominant colors in the picture, you used the colors in the egg wreath in the background!! How creative!!! I've never heard of the technique that you used to stamp the flowers. I think I understand it, but I will probably have to look it up. The flowers are very pretty!!!! You made a very gorgeous card!!!!
