I love 'country' colours, and when I was a patchworker I usually made quilts in these shades, so I was thrilled when I saw the colours on the Sunday Stamps color Challenge for this week. These are perfect colours for a masculine card, so I pulled out
Clockworks,
Daring Adventure and
Feeling Sentimental stamp sets. The first two are available in the current Annual Catalogue and
Feeling Sentimental is one of the Sale-a-bration stamps sets, yours free with an order of $100. With those three sets you could make an enormous range of cards.
Whoops! I nearly forgot that I also used a ticket stamp from
That's the Ticket, NEW in the 25th Anniversary catalogue out now. A ticket seemed the appropriate place to stamp the other greeting, what with the giant ferris (?) wheel.The card has been finished off with bakers twine and a wooden button.
I also have been making baby cards lately, because I will need one shortly for a new family member, whose gender will be a surprise. My stocks of cards for new arrivals was running pretty low too, so I have made quite a few for both little girls or boys.
Next is a card in the challenge colours for a wee boy. Quite a simple card using Moving Forward, from the Annual catalogue and Itty Bitty Banners, which can be purchased from the catalogue for $27.95 (wood mount) or chosen as your Free selection in the Sale-a-bration promotion. I used an embossing folder to texture a piece of Marina Mist card with a zig zag pattern, so it isn't completely plain.
Exciting news for me again!
The baby card, above, was a Sunday Stamps Top Pick!
How adorable is that sweet Sail Boat? Great use of the Challenge Colors Rachel and I really like the texture you added with the embossing folder. Congrats!
Lastly, is a pretty card for a little girl with some of the new flower trim, tinted by rubbing on a stamp pad. I used the diagonal plate on my Simply Scored to score the card front at regular intervals, then turned it over and used the other side. I placed the tiniest of the Basic Jewel pearls on every second junction. This greeting, "baby, welcome to the world" is from another great stamp set, A Word For You, with greetings for a number of different occasions. The tiny bird is from Aviary, it looks so sweet sitting on the end of the flourish!
