Cherish the Moments -a baby card for The Friday Mashup 83

One of my clients asked me to make her a baby girl card, done all in pink.  I used the sketch challenge with the Friday Mashup here to comply with her request. She did not wish to have a sentiment on the front of the card.


 

Technique 
The entire card is constructed in shades of Pretty in Pink and Whisper White.
The Pretty in Pink base is layered with Whisper White, which in turn is layered with designer paper that has been double embossed.  The designer paper from the Paper Pack was first embossed with the Lacy Brocade folder which had been  inked with Versa mark and run through the Big shot.  White embossing powder was sprinkled on the embossed DSP and set with an embossing tool. (Note: the embossing folder should be washed with water as soon as possible).  This double embossed DSP was cut slightly smaller and cut into 4 pieces.
The focal image was stamped with Pretty in Pink ink and matted with Pretty in Pink card stock.
Rosette: 
A 12" piece of DSP was cut to 1/2" and scored at 1/2" intervals using the Simply Score tool and made into a rosette.  A pink button was attached to the top of the rosette, and then a piece of White Baker's twine made into a bow.  The rosette was attached to the lower left focal image.

Stamp: Baby Prints
Inks: Pretty in Pink, Versa Mark
Papers: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Pretty in Pink DSP
Accessories: Simply Scored, Lacy Brocade folder, White embossing powder, Pink Button, White Baker's Twine, pearls.
