Baby Card

Hello everyone! One of my close friends is expecting a baby and she'll be leaving for her parents' home next week. So made this card in a hurry.




   It has lots of layers. For the base, I reused a plain cardboard piece that came along with my husband's shirt. I glued tissue paper on it and cut the other layers from the scraps from my previous projects.

   The image is from SweetDreamsBaby - Black Leaf Studios, but I drew it and coloured it using Markers and WaterColour Pencils, since I didn't have Printer. Also I wanted the hair of the baby to be different and to have a touch of mine. I attached the clouds to the moon using double-sided adhesive foam, to give dimension. I punched a heart on one of the layers on the top and hung the moon using a string of wool. Similarly the little smiling stars.

   For the inside of the card, I layered the papers and drew and coloured the little Pram. Glued the punched flowers. I forgot to take the pics before writing the message :( So had to blur the names.


   Made the envelope with a matching piece of paper.


Supplies used:
  • Piece of cardboard, Tissue paper, Scraps from previous projects
  • Jef paper punches - Heart, Flower
  • Markers, Watercolour pencils
  • Craft Scissors

Keep Smiling!

    Hi everyone! I know I have been away for a long time. We went on a long trip and I fell sick after returning home. I wanted to craft, but my mind was all foggy and I couldn't come up with any worthy idea.

    Feeling better today and finally my brain is in working mode again. I bought some crepe paper recently. I saw a very nice tutorial for crepe flowers on a blog before the trip and  I wanted to give it a try. Here are my flowers.



   Here is the tutorial. http://howaboutorange.blogspot.in/2011/04/make-flowers-from-crepe-paper.html

        I love this sunny golden yellow. It's so bright and cheerful. It brightened up my day. First I planned on only flowers, but this yellow made me use it more and more on my card. Have a look at this.


Supplies used:
  • Cardstock: White, handmade
  • Crepe paper: Golden yellow
  • Black marker for the sentiment
  • Pinking shears
