A very good evening everyone! Oh yes! It has been a total washout in my area and I am just hoping that we will actually get to see some sunshine this Bank Holiday.
Now I know you are all probably getting pretty bored with me posting baby cards, but as I made over 30 for my show I haven't got any other creations to show you....only using the new Heartfelt Creations new collection which I can share some sneak peeks soon with you:)
So any way I thought I would share this fairly quick baby boy card where I have just used the papers and the tags from the paper collection, the decorative circle die from the Raindrops on Roses die set, added a bow and finally a flower which I created with the flower dies from the Sweet Lullaby die set.
- I have used a Tim Holtz distress tool to create a shabby feel around the edges of the card and tag.
- Matted a piece of blue card stock to the card base which measures 5 3/4" square.
- Next I cut out a pretty decorative flower panel from the papers and cut this down to 5" square. I e have adhered this to the card with foam pads.
- I have cut one of the decorative borders and added this along the top of the decorative paper mat.
- Next I die cut the decorative circle in blue card and adhered this to the top left of the card.
- I made a shabby bow with some pale blue seam binding and also a pearl string bow. I cut the 2 tags from the papers and added a piece of lace to the bottom of the large one. I have also cut out a little border sentiment which I have added across the bottom of the tag.
- Next I added the tags before adding the bows.
- I die cut the small flower from the die collection in white paper (100GSM). I have added a little blue chalk ink to the tips of the flowers.
- To finish I have added a few pearl brads and some small pearls.
- Oh and of course a little Stickles glitter.
This is a very quick card and you could use any of the recent Heartfelt Creations paper collections to create a similar card.
I hope you get some good weather this bank holiday and I will be back soon with another creation and the launch of another blog candy!!!!!
Evening Nikki, A really pretty Baby Boy card, loving the papers you have used, and the die-cuts complement perfectly. A truly beautiful card, that anyone would love to receive.
ReplyDeleteThe weather here is the same, rain, rain, and more rain, here's hoping we get to see some sunshine during the Bank Holiday.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Nikki another lovely card. I love the softness of these papers and change the tag for another occasion is easy and not just for babies. It has been torrential rain for most of the day, but the sun managed to peep through late afternoon but not for very long. Hope you enjoy tomorrow and maybe a bit of sunshine x
