Wee One

Hello and Welcome

Here's another card I made as I had a request to make some gender neutral baby cards.

I like the soft shades of the beige with the green...looks very calm.

If you have never thought about dry embossing over a stenciled background, give it a try...nice results and adds a lot more interest.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and positioned the Plaid stencil from The Stamp Market over my panel.  
• I began by inking over the stencil with some Peeled Paint Distress Oxide ink with my inking brush.  I added some Rusty Hinge over that, blending the two colours together.  

• The panel looked so flat to me, so to add interest, I placed the piece into the Dot Embossing Folder and ran it through my Cuttlebug.  It added just the right amount of interest to my background.
• Next, I took the panel and using the Hemstitch Oval die, I cut an oval border into the center of the card and set that aside.
• I cut a smaller oval from white cardstock and then stamped this beautiful image from Stampin Up.
• with Versafine Clair ink.  *If anyone can help with the name of this set, that would be great.  I bought it at a garage sale* edited...thanks to someone on FB  called Mother and Child
• I pop dotted that image oval right into that die-cut border area.
• I stamped the sentiment from the Baby Sentiments 1 from Paper Rose with more Versafine Clair ink.  I stamped the little banner around it using my Misti and then fussy cut it out.  I pop dotted that just over the bottom of the image.
• Finally, I glued the panel onto some white cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

 Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
