Good Morning

Happy to be sharing this card with you today.

If you have read my past posts, I have been creating lots of baby cards for someone since they are so difficult to fin for Grandparents and Great- Grandparents.  The Dollar Store cards just didn't cut it for her.

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

• I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock.  I laid down one of the Marvelous Heart Masks from A Colorful Life Designs and secured that with some low tack tape.  
• Next, I positioned the Groovy Flowers mask also from ACLD right over the mask.  Starting at the top, I rubbed on some Worn Lipstick with my Blending Brushes, then some Wild Honey and then finally some Rusty Hinge at the bottom.  A new colour combo for me but I really liked the look when finished.
• Leaving the mask and stencil in place, I stamped over it with the Friends text stamp inked with some Rusty Hinge.  It gave some nice interest to my background.
• Before removing the masks, I splattered with my white Posca pen.

• I cut another piece of heavy cardstock, and dry embossed it with the Dots eb folder in my Cuttlebug.
• I decided to cut out the heart so I could pop dot it over the embossed front panel of my card but before I did that, I stamped the Congrats and clear heat embossed it.
• I computer generated the sentiment and pop dotted that over the heart.
• I mounted that over a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Welcome!

Meet today's card.

I was asked to create some cards for New Grandparents so I was up to the challenge.

It also gave me a chance to play with this wonderful Cloud Edger stencil and mask from A Colorful Life Designs....so fun to play with!

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

• I started by cutting my card front panel with some heavy white cardstock.  I got out the Cloud Edger stencil and my Distress Oxide inks.  (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Candied Apple, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Dusty Concord)
• Beginning at the top of the panel, I applied ink using my blender brushes inking heavy in some areas and lighter in others along the edges of the mask.  I kept moving the mask down my panel using the above mentioned colours until I reached the bottom.
• Using my white Posca pen, I splattered the whole panel and set aside to dry.
• I die cut from the center of the panel with this Spellbinders die (I'm sorry I have no idea what it is called).  
• The sentiment was computer generated, then die cut with the same die I used to cut from the panel.  
• I fitted and glued the die cut piece back into place using pop dots and then pop dotted the sentiment over that.
• It was all glued onto a piece of blue cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
