When our Son-in-Law's sister discovered she was expecting a
baby girl, she asked if I would make a card for the baby like the one I had
made for our Grandson; her nephew. I made his card over three and a half
year's ago in my early crafty years before I was doing so much colouring. The noticeable feature of my
original card is it's size. It was made from a folded sheet of A3 so it
measures 11.7 x 8.3 inches and being a rectangle - it caused me some
problems. I'm definitely a square kind of gal!
I started with this absolutely fabulous Sugar Nellie image called Bambino which
you can buy
here and
coloured her with Copics, adding some liquid applique and fluffy stuff to her bobbles. I made baby's cheeks too dark and now her face is a bit dark in comparison with her body. It's such a versatile image, though - a blue hat makes for perfect gender change!
Then I made the pram. It's from a
template I bought from AnnaMarie Designs.
I embossed the bonnet and buggy with Cuttlebug folders and added an MS
lacey punched yellow frill and a white SU punched trim.
Then I raided my stash draws for baby girl pre-made toppers, buttons, ribbons and flowers before cutting out some letters on my Cricut. The smaller DPs are Prima Annalee and the background DP is K&Co (as is the tag). The little teddy by my image is an MS punch, the skeleton leaves by the flowers are Marianne dies and the blanket edging above my image is from an EK Success punch.
And this is the
one I made for our Grandson such a long time ago which inspired today's card.
I am entering my card into the following challenges:
