Bundle of Joy

I've based my colour scheme on the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger & used the Lawnscaping Challenge #61 Sketch. I've mirrored the ric rac ribbon with my chevrons in orange, yellow & green. There's a slight ombre/rainbow effect as I left some orange ink when I stamped the yellow, cleaned the stamp for yellow, left some yellow to stamp with the green and finally stamped with the green. I love the black wrap on the embroidery thread so had to include a deep black frame for my image plus some kraft card to hold everything together like in the trigger picture.

Fun, fun, fun with lots of dimension, fussy cutting and masking tape diecut clouds. Sequins are used as a highlight on the bundle of joy, for wheels on the pram and as flowers with black enamel dot centres.

There are 7 layers of card, 8 if you include the sequins on top!

Instead of the banner in the sketch, I've had a go at a washi ruffle. There is a lot going on in this card, so I love the see-through lightness of the washi as compared to a solid banner.

Sequins

CAS Lawn Fawn Engagement card with sequins.

As soon as I saw Pinspired Challenge #9, I wanted to use my pink sequins laid out in rows. Just as we get a peek through the curtains, at the pink delights inside, I've cut a heart aperture to frame my glittery treasure. I wanted to keep the rest of the card nice and simple so the sequins shine.

Have A Blast!

I've disguised this birthday boy's age as part of the rocket's count down, but I think the big red glittery 65 probably give it away! I love the silver embossed panel so much, it's tactile & shiny and I want to find more ways to use it. Another favourite is white embossing powder, I love watching it develop and the end result. The glossy accents on the window even picked up a little glare, how it did under the Winter sun I'm not sure.

Birthday Bag

This is my first shaped card, a prototype! I created the template with a tent card as the starting point and an image of small rigid satin bags with dainty handles in my head. As you can see I need to work on the dainty handles. The bag had to be pink, just perfect for Jane. The gems sparkle & the edges appear less rough in person, but I think a slightly thinner card would work better next time.
