Little Baby Blue

I just found out my DH's cousin had a baby boy in August. I decided to give a try at the SC140 challenge to make a card. I think it turned out nice. I used a light blue from an Assortment pack of blue cardstock I picked up at Michaels. I used my Brilliance Dewdrop in "Moonlight White" for Ink. The card base is Whisper White, which I also used to mat all the blue layers.



I used the A2 Embossing folder Baby Words and Baby Announcement to emboss the background and square. I purchased mine both from ALL THAT SCRAPS. When I embossed the square I shifted the paper so the words would be placed on the left and eliminated the Image. I used an EK corner rounder to round the corners on the square and my Singlo white gel pen from SU to add dots around the edge. I used zip glue strips to strategically place the 1/8" white satin ribbon between the embossed words.

Next I cut the bookplate at 1" using Fabulous Finds in my cricut. The blue is cut as blackout and the white is cut as shadow. Then while the Cricut was out I cut the square and scallopped square with my Mini Monograms cartridge at 2". I stamped "Welcome" from SU Warm Words stampset and "baby" from a 2006 SU SAB set Noteworthy in white and then poured clear embossing powder and then Kalidescope embossing powder over the top then heat set it. I am sorry but the flash made this hard to see I hope the insert photo helps. The Bazzill white brads I picked up at All That Scraps. I used the retired SU

stamp set "Welcome Little One" and stamped just the head portion on the blue square. Then I mounted it to the Scalloped white square. I used my SU Paper Piercer Mat Pack to line up the dots in the corners and marked them before punching them out with my 1/16" circle punch. I dont know if my card really fulfills the SC140 sketch challenge, since my two squares got a little large, but I like how it turned out.



Hope you enjoyed it thanks for visiting! Until later ...Happy Stamping!
