Embossed Pram Baby Card

 I seem to have lost my mojo lately and Hubby needed a  baby card for tomorrow.

Rather than let him down I dug out a card I made about 10 years ago and re-made it in different colours.

The overall size of this card is 8" X 8" so it is quite large but as there are going to be a few people signing it,  it needs to be a little bigger than usual.

The wheels I made by punching out a large daisy in silver card twice and sticking the flowers onto a punched circle that is slightly smaller than the daisy. Note..   I punched the circles from the same cardstock I used for the background.
Then trimming off the tips of the petals to the edge of the circle.

I punched two more silver circles larger still and adhered the smaller inner wheel on top.
The flowers were made using a smaller daisy punch  inking the tips of the petals and the sticking on on top of another and adding a small blue gem stone.

The background paper is from the Subtles DSP stack from Stampin up,  the colour I used  is soft sky.
The heart lace  was made using a Martha Stewart Border Punch.

The pram I cut from  white pearlized card and embossed.

Here's hope my mojo comes back soon...... need to be making new stuff, not going backwards in time.

For Allison


I bought my first Digital Stamps this week, only two to see if i like them, while these Sugar Nellie designs are absolutely beautiful. I am still not convinced they are the way to go. Both types of stamps have advantages and disadvantages.

With the digital you can re-size them which is fantastic, they don't take any storage space apart from on your pc. But my first thought is you can't heat emboss them, not that you would want to heat emboss a stamp of this style.

But other designs you may.

Anyway I use versamark ink pad and the Vintage vogue stamp set to stamp the top half of my card. A Martha Stewart punch for the lace edges, Stampin up's designer paper, and a mixture of stamp and write markers and copic markers to colour it in. Oh, and some torn paper bashful blue ink pad and a dauber to do the sky.
