Welcome Little One

This is another card I made using an image I cut from the Animal Expedition DSP- this time a Kangaroo with a baby in its pouch, as well as 2 giraffes - oh, and the little frog way up in the tree top.

Doesn't it make a cute baby card?

Starting with a base of Call Me Clover card stock, it was layered with Whisper White embossed with the Trellis embossing folder.

On the left side was adhered a 2" piece of Animal Expedition DSP (with all the leaves on it).  A 1/2" strip of the DSP was reversed and adhered along the edge of the DSP.  It looks like chevron ribbon, but it's actually DSP.

On the focal piece I stamped the branch image from Animal outing a couple of times and coloured them with SU markers.  Then I adhered the kangaroo, the giraffe and the frog and added the second giraffe on the outside of the focal piece.

This Whisper White piece was matted first with Call Me Clover and secondly with Lemon Lime twist card stock before adding it to the card front (at an angle) using dimensionals.

The sentiments are the Animal Outing stamp set.

Some bling in the form of clear embellishments finished off the card.

Inks:  Black Memento, Basic Gray (to sponge cut out images), markers (Call me Clover, Daffodil Delight)

Happy Birthday Graceful Vellum - another catalogue sneak peak

I'm just loving the new Graceful Vellum and here is another card made using that specialty DSP.

I start with a base slightly larger than usual - 4 1/4 by 12 folded in half to form a 4 1/4 by 6" top folding card.  This is layered at the bottom by  a 2 by 4" piece of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Trellis embossing folder.  Some 1/4" Rich Razzelberry velvet ribbon was adhered to the top of this embossed piece before adhering it to the card front.

The vellum image was colored with blendabilites and matted with Whisper White card stock before adding it to card front with dimensionals,  The sentiment is from "Hand Delivered".  Some Clear Wink of Stella applied to the colored images really make them "pop".

Some self adhesive sequins added randomly finishes the card off nicely.

Stamp:  Hand Delivered

Inks:  Rich Razzelberry, Blendabilites

Papers:  Rich Razzelberry ,Whisper White, Graceful Vellum DSP

A 100th Birthday Celebration- Hand Stamped Sentiments #268

It's truly amazing how often I get requests for 100 year birthday cards at my various shows.  Since I do not have any more left I thought I would use the sketch challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments here

The card base is Powder Pink, layered with Whisper White embossed with the Trellis Embossing Folder.

The focal image is a die cut circle with the number 100 die cut in Silver Glimmer paper using the Large Number Framelits.  Behind the numbers I stamped some stem and floral images in Pear Pizzazz and Sweet Sugarplum. This circle is matted with Blushing Bride glimmer paper, and added to some Petal Gardens DSP.

Behind the DSP is a strip of Blushing Bride glimmer paper; a similar strip is layered in front of the circle just below the number.

The sentiment is stamped on a die cut banner and adhered to the lower glimmer strip.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Number of Years

Inks:  Black Memento, Pear Pizzazz, Sweet Sugarplum

Papers;  Pink Powder, Whisper White, Petal Gardens DSP, Silver Glimmer paper, Blushing Bride DSP
