An “All About Babies” Card

Hello everyone this week I made two cards!

My first one was an easel card, and then a baby card.

A few weeks ago I made a Christmas card and to my surprise, I won The Corrosive Challenges Blog, and this is what I won:

3 digis from Phindy's place

2 packs of stickers

A pack of brads

AND

A Guest Designer spot on the DT for August.

Yeah!! I’m thrilled to be GDT for a month.

The theme for this weeks challenge is “All About Babies”.

This was so easy, since we have so many babies in our house!

Some time ago I won a $20 voucher at Sew Many cards and digital stamps, but that was quite some time ago. I never had pencils to colour Digi stamps so I never used the voucher.

(now I have Promarkers)

A few weeks ago I ordered some rubber stamps from Whiff of Joy and was hoping it would be here in time for this weeks baby’s challenge!

Unfortunately they haven’t arrived yet! I was very disappointed but my mother reminded me about my Sew Many Cards voucher. I could buy seven Digi stamps and “Tayla Stork” is one of them.

I struggled a bit not to let the ink run with my Promarkers but after a few attempts, one turned out okay. I also heat it with my mom’s hair dryer, before I coloured it!

If you have a secret to keep digit stamps from running when coloured with Promarkers or Copics, PLEASE share it with me!

I used the flowing Promarkers for this stamp:

Dusky Pink – for the body of the duck and mouth of the little animal

Apple, Rose Pink and yellow – for the Duck’s hat

Yellow - for the ribbon on the duck neck, Welcome baby tag and duck’s Bick

Prussian – for one of the patches on the duck

Gold – for the feet of the duck and the baby in the parcel

Sky blue – for the baby bag and a patch on the duck

Cool Grey 1 – for a shadow around the stamp.

Here I wrote Bundle of Joy.

I though it will fit the card well!

I cut out little circles of images with names and stuck them all over the card, which gave the card a real “All About Babies”-feeling!!

It was very easy to make a bundle of joy card since we already had 8 bundles of joy in our house!

Here is a picture of our newest bundle of joy.

Michael is really growing up so fast!

He is 6 months and is so sweet.

When ever you smile at him, he smiles back at you.

Michael is also now starting to play with toys - so cute!!

Three of the other Bundles of Joy in our house.

David (3 1/2 years), Andrew (5 years) and Little Daniel who turned two today!

So as I said, it is so easy to make a baby card, with babies all over the house.

I used the Friday Sketchers Challenges sketch for this card:

This beautiful sketch is by Tanja from Germany and I just love it!
