Welcome Baby

This old blog hasn't had much on it lately, I'm sorry to say!  I'm just not feeling it at the moment and making a card has been hard work for the last few months.  I'm hoping my mojo comes back soon, because I want to enjoy this hobby again!  In the meantime, I'm keeping my hand in with my DT commitments and today it's the turn of Freshly Made Sketches, where Cecile has a very versatile sketch for us.

I decided to make a baby card - not that I need one, but it's there for when I do 😃

I used the Rectangle Peek-a-Boo die for the "frame" part of the sketch and created a shaker for the centre part.  On a white card base, I masked off the edges and blended some Distress Oxide inks into the centre, before dropping on some Perfect Pearls mist.  I then set that aside and went to work on the top panel.

First, I die-cut the rectangle opening and also the stitched edges.  The "baby" is from a Ranger Letter-It set and I double-embosed it with Denim EP onto a white panel.  The "welcome" is from a PTI set and I white embossed that onto a strip of black cardstock.

I added acetate behind the window and then foam tape all around.  I dropped some sequins onto the card base then added the front panel and called it done!

  

Thanks so much for visiting!  The design team have some wonderful cards using this sketch, so I hope you go check them out.

And, thanks to my friend Barb for reminding me, I'm adding this to the gallery at Addicted to CAS who are looking for ombre this challenge.
