I made this card for a friend who recently had a new baby boy! The layout was CASEd from last Sunday's featured stamper, LAURALY. She is such an awesome stamper and TOTALLY deserved to be featured. If you get a chance, visit her blog at JUSTGIVEMESTAMPS. The card I cased of Laurie's is HERE. The only thing I kept the same is the layout and the Welcome Baby stamp.
The card base is Bashful Blue and is the standard card size of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". The polka dot decorative paper is from the Cutie Pie set of papers. The top clothesline piece is Whisper White matted on Celery. The clothesline piece is actually a sticker from Daisy Hill that I got a long time ago. I used Bashful Blue brads on top of a piece of celery decorative paper that I punched using my 1/4" circle punch.
The next layer is a strip of Celery with Bashful Blue flowers on it from the Cutie Pie paper and then matted on a piece of Bashful Blue CS. I used my scallop scissors to cut the bottom of the Blue strip. I used narrow white organdy and small piece of blue gingham on top.
Next I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the Welcome Baby sentiment (used Bashful Blue ink) from the new Short and Sweet set on Whisper White CS. I matted this on Celery CS. The hearts were punched from an old decorative corner punch I have out of Celery CS.
The last layer is some blue decorative paper (Cutie Pie) with 3 chipboard stars (On Board Ginormous Pieces chipboard set) that I painted 2 celery and 1 blue (Making Memories paint). After they dried I lightly sanded them and then painted Crystal Effects on top and added Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
Awesome!
