New baby cuteness

 How adorable is this little Giraffe from Heffy Doodle's Two by two safari animals stamp set? As soon as I saw it I knew I needed to make it into a baby card. 

I have ink blended the back ground with tattered rose, dried marigold, wild honey and rusty hinge distress oxide inks. The stitched edging around the card is thanks to the Heffy Doodle Whimsically wonky dies

For the new baby sentiment I used the Happy New Baby sentiment die to cut out some of the Man cave patterned paper and snipped off the word Happy so it just says New baby.

As the finishing touch I added in some of the yellow enamel dots from the Summer Holiday set. I love how easy these dots are to use and that there is no drying time.

I am going to enter this card for the following challenges:

The Paper Players - Kards for Kids

Lil' patch of crafty friends - Anything Goes

Corrosive challenge - Anything Goes

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog.

Quill power - Release day 2

This new release from Crafty Purple Frog is just so cute! I wanted to stretch these adorable hedgehog stamps and show that you can not only make adorable cards with them but you can also make things like this little trinket dish by pushing them into some air dry clay. This dish was so much fun to do! 

Bubbly baby Mertot

I am still so happy to be showing this next cutie as GDT for this weeks Sweet November release. This adorable bubble mertot is called May Mertot and is available in the Sweet November store now as a digi stamp so you can get her straight away. For me this bubble was crying out to be made into a shaker card.

I have coloured this cutie with the following copics:

Skin: E33, E21, E00

Hair: C9, C7, C5, C3

Tail: YR27, YR68, YR15

Toy: BG49, BG23, G00

Bubble background: BG15, G00

As normal for me I had to cover her tail in spectrum noir crystal clear sparkle pen and glossy accents.

I cut her out using Heffy Doodles stitched circles and did a couple of smaller stitched circles as extra bubbles that I then added some whatcha saying? sentiments to. For the shaker itself I cut another same sized circle from acetate and to finish it cut a thin circle frame in foam and in black card to just cover up the foam and just edge all the stitched circles/ bubbles.

For the background I used the Create a smile geometrics stamp set with the Altenew sweet dreams ink cubes to just give a bubbly background.
