I made this card for Jen del Muro's Sketch for You to Try. I love her sketches but don't always have the time to do them. What a fun sketch!
I was asked to make a few baby cards for someone and I thought the set Nursery Necessities from SU! would lend itself perfectly to the sketch!
I'm really happy with how this card turned out! The colors are Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Barely Banana and Whisper White.
The card base is a piece of 4 1/4 x 11 Bashful Blue cardstock folded in half. The Certainly Celery layer is 4 x 5 1/4 and was run through my Cuttlebug with my fave Swiss Dots embossing folder. The Barely Banana layer was also embossed with the Swiss Dots folder and layered on Bashful Blue cs. Each square is punched out using the 1 1/4" (white) and 1 3/8" (blue) square punch. The elephant and boat were cut out by hand, and the stars were punched out with the large and the small star punches. There is a soft subtle brad in the center of each small star. The sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration set, So Many Scallops. It was stamped with Versamark ink onto Bashful Blue cardstock and then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. It was then punched out with the circle scallop punch from Stampin' Up!
Have a great Wednesday!
