More Baby Cards

Hello and welcome here.  I needed to bump up my stash of baby cards I had on hand and so I also created these ones using my favourite baby carriage die from Memory Box.

Card Sizes:  4.25" x 5.5"

I also used one of my favourite Spellbinders to give it an extra special touch. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Baby Cards

 Hello and welcome here.  The summer has passed us by and the leaves are changing and falling here already.  I have some baby cards that I made in the summer to share with you today.

Card Size:  4.25" x 5.5"

I pieced the starburst pattern using patterned paper.  It's difficult to see but the white paper piece is embossed.  I made a girl version and a green version, changing up the sentiment for each.

I cut a rectangular piece of paper 1.5" x 6", I then cut the paper diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner to get the triangular shape.

Thanks for stopping by.

Kid/Teen Cards

Hello and welcome here.  I have been inspired by cards I've seen on Pinterest and needed some kids/teen cards.

Card Sizes:  4.25" x 5.5"

I was inspired by this card found on Pinterest HERE. I didn't have candles so I embellished with what I had.  I added glitter to the cupcake icing, but it doesn't show up in the photo.  The birthday die was from the set Birthday Trio by Papertrey Ink.

Thanks for stopping by!

Teddy Bo & Co. Blowing Bubbles Card

Hello and welcome here!  It's my turn to share some Teddy Bo & Co. inspiration with you.  The image of Bea is from the August Membership pack.

 Card Size:  5" x 7"

I coloured Bea blowing bubbles with Prismacolor Pencils.  I finished the card off with Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Oval die and the corners are from Cuttlebug.

I used Nuvo Crystal Clear drops to fill in the bubbles to make them shine like real bubbles would.

Prismacolor Pencils Used:

Fur - 1034, 943, 945, 1082, 947

Muzzle - 917, 1034, 1033

Overalls - 938, 956, 1008, 932, 132

Shirt - 1059, 1060, 1061

Hat - 938, 1014, 1018, 1017

Bubbles - 916, 912, 1040, 133, 993

Bottle - 912, 909

Ground - 1052

Sky - 1087

I took a few picture of the how I build up my layers.

The first layer I lightly colour in the highlights, the medium color and where the darkest colour will go.

 The second layer I lightly colour again, building on what I laid down the first time.  It's still easy to make adjustments to colour if necessary.

The third layer I again is about laying the colour down and blending the different browns together.  I didn't like how the highlight on the toe was turning out so I adjusted it by adding a bit of darker brown into it.  You can see the difference in the photo below.

The fourth layer is continuing adding colour, blending as you change colours.  I continued to add colour until I reach the darkest colour of each pencil crayon.  

Recipe:  Teddy Bo & Co. Digital Image-August Membership Pack, PP-Creative Memories Fresh Picks, CTMH CS-White Daisy, Bazzill CS-purple, Heartfelt Creations Eyelet Oval, Cuttlebug Vintage Corners, SS-Papertry Ink Birthday Basics, Versafine Onyx Black, Nuvo Crystal Drops-Clear, Foam, Rhinestones, Prismacolor Pencils.
