Baby

Hi all and welcome!  Before I get to this week's card for Freshly Made Sketches I wanted to let my (previous) email subscribers know that my account was closed by MailChimp because I hadn't logged into it for 24 months.  Silly me ignored the emails thinking they related to the long-closed Fusion Card Challenge because emails for this blog were going to subscribers every time I posted, so of course my account was active ๐Ÿ˜’.  But no, because I hadn't logged into my MailChimp account, it was closed and there is no way to get it back.  So none of my subscribers have been receiving emails since May.  

Long story short, I created a new account at Follow It which was so much easier to set up so if you would like to receive emails when I post (about 1 card a week!), please sign up to the right ๐Ÿ‘‰.

Now onto this week's card. Jen Mitchell came up with a fabulous sketch and I used some NBUS dies from Scrapbook.com to make a baby card - for who I have no idea ๐Ÿ˜  


I die-cut everything from white cardstock and ink-blended using some soft pastel colours.  I arranged the images onto a vellum stitched tag and then onto a strip of gingham patterned paper.  The sentiment die is from SugarPea Designs and stacked three high for dimension.


Thanks so much for visiting!  The design team have some wonderful cards so I hope you'll check them out.



Products used:

Ink: Minty Mint, Sweet Leaf, Rose Quartz, Puffy Heart, Peachy Glow, Peach Perfect, Vanilla Cream, Hazelnut, Rocky Shore, Mocha (Altenew)
Cardstock: White, Vellum, Homespun Gingham patterned paper (MFT)
Dies: Welcome Baby (Scrapbook.com), Baby Diaper Pin (SugarPea Designs), Anytime Tags (Lil Inkers), Stitched Scalloped Borders (Lawn Fawn)
Accessories:  White twine

Cheers
Karren
