I found this cute paper from Imaginisce called Colorfall and thought it might make a good color palette for a bolder boy design. Then I paired it with Verve's To the Moon set, using the giraffe, monkey and bear with color ink on colored paper, then color ink on white paper - embossed, and finally in black Memento ink on the monkey and colored with Copics as the focal image. Isn't he cute with his big belly?
Just a little ribbon tabs for accent and two stamped stars (but if I were doing this in multiples I'd have a star punch for sure).
Yeah, so outside of the fun of making this card, I didn't have the best day today....Here's the equation....Me in our Van + Very Hard Snowbank + Very Cold Temperatures (even at slow speed) = one really broken front fender + an expensive repair. :( Gratefully I have a very understanding and loving husband, and no one was hurt.
Hope you have a much better day today! Stay warm and out of snowbanks :)
Stamps: Verve - To the Moon, SU - Nursery Necessities; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Bermuda Bay, Poppy Parade, Wild Wasabi; Paper: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Poppy Parade, Wild Wasabi, Imaginisce - Colorfall; Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Dotted Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals, Copic Markers, 1 3/8 inch Circle punch, 1 3/4 Circle punch.
Darling card. Love the tabs and the stars you used.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear the snowbank wasn't playing nice :( I can't believe how much snow you've been having...actually I can as I know how much RAIN we've been having before it heads over the Rockies! Glad to hear nobody was hurt.
this card is great and sweet christine.
ReplyDeletelike the colors you have used.

What a fun bright card! Great star embellishments and his belly is the cutest!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the :-( time with your van. Thankful that no one was hurt though!! At -30 or whatever you are right now, that's a VERY cold walk!

ReplyDeleteThis is so very cute, Christine!! I just love the fun colors and great texture!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute, Christine! Love the images and bright colors. Fabulous texture!
ReplyDeleteAre you having baby fever yet? I know I would be!! Even with my youngest being 16 years old, I still ache to hold a newborn. I remember when they were little and would sleep on my chest. That was the most wonderful time. I could smell their baby sweetness and feel their little heart beats. So far, I'm loving the first one you did...but they are all amazing. Why not just make several of a few designs? Want me to come help?! I would!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, my friend!
What a great idea to have a "Baby Week" Christine! Love this Baby Boy card and your previous card is so precious! Just realized I'm a few hours north of you... in St. Albert :) Looks like we are going back into the deep freeze this weekend :( Stay warm!
