Hello Baby

Hi and welcome to another fabulous sketch, courtesy of Freshly Made Sketches!  This week our hostess is the delightful and talented Jen Brum.  And look, there are no circles on her sketch :)

I love this sketch and my card came together reasonably quickly, unlike most of the cards I've made recently which take forever!


I had a pre-colored elephant so that was the starting point for my card.  I decided to go with neutral tones and make a baby card.  The card base is white and then there is a layer of Smoke, die-cut with two dies from Blueprints 21.  The Slate banner was white-embossed with a sentiment from Winnie & Walter.  

Some Pretty Pink Posh sequins and my card was done.


Thanks for visiting.  Be sure to check out the wonderful cards from the rest of the design team.  And before I go, we're coming up to our 200th sketch and we are having a huge celebration.  There will be some amazing prizes so I hope you can make some time to play along!


Products used:

Stamps:  Unforgettable (WP9), The Big, the Bold and the Happy (W&W)
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Versamark
Cardstock:  White, Smoke, Slate, X-Press It
Accessories:  Unforgettable dies, MFT Fishtail Flag Stax, MFT Blueprints 21, White EP

Cheers

    LOVE this monochromatic design Karren and such an adorable little elephant! Great layout! I really must try and get over this week . . . I have been so busy since coming home that I have neglected one of my most favourite and regular challenges! Thanks for the inspiration! Hazel xx

    This is just as cute as it gets. I love all of the gray with just the tiny bit of pink and I love the circle surrounding him. A cute, yet also elegant, baby card!
