Pink Baby

Hi!  This is my last day of a week off work 😢and in between taking my newly-licenced son for driving lessons (like 3x a day!), I've been in my craft room.  It's been so good to actually play along with a few challenges that I just don't get time to play with in my usually limited crafting time.  One of those challenges is Addicted to CAS - every fortnight I see the new cue word and want to play along and before I know it, the challenge is closed and I've not made a card.

Another challenge I haven't played with in ages is City Crafter.  I decided to combine these two challenges into the card below.



The cue word at Addicted to CAS is Baby and City Crafter are looking for pink, flamingoes, wooden blocks, hello or phones.  I went with pink, wooden blocks and hello.  This set is NBUS called Hello Little One by MFT Stamps.  I don't know anyone having babies but it's always good to have a couple of baby cards on hand.  I stamped and colored the images with Copics and cut them with my Scan n Cut.  For a bit of fun, I added some white dots onto the baby pram using a white gel pen.

On a white top-folding card base I lightly sponged some Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick distress inks.  I stamped the sentiment in Black Licorice Hybrid ink and then added the images.  The blocks are popped up on foam tape.  


To finish the card, I added some Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard and colored the blocks with clear sparkle pen.  


Thanks so much for visiting!  I have another card I made this morning, so I might end up with two posts today, depending on how organised I am 😄

Stamps:  Hello Little One (MFT)
Ink:  Black Licorice Hybrid, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick Distress Inks

Karren

How perfect this is for our challenge! Beautifully coloured and designed - a new parent would much appreciate I think.

Karren, gorgeous card and I love that you can color this either blue or pink. The blended background really makes the focal image pop off the page. So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
