A Lullaby in the Forest ~ Retro Sketches #120

Oh, Baby!
This baby card was so fun to make. I rarely make a "cutsie" card, but I do enjoy them every once in a while. I purchased this {Life in the Forest} stamp set when it came out in the spring catalog. This is the first time I've gotten to use it. I know it's really not baby related, but it was the only stamp set I have that either wasn't retired or wasn't too mature. Paired with the new {Lullaby} DSP, this made the best card! Plus, it's not gender specific so it's a good one to keep on hand!

The inspiration for this card came from the Card Concept for challenge #13. I really like this blog. They are a bunch of very talented designers that come up with a weekly challenge. You may chose from Clean & Simple, Clean & Layering, Clean & Graphic, Shabby Chic, Freestyle Collage, and Classy & Elegant. Normally my style would fall into the Shabby Chic category, but this time I chose to go with the Clean & Layering category. I hope it fits there. 

The sketch came from Retro Sketches for challenge #120. It was a great one for layering DSP!




What I Used:
Cardstock ~ Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar
DSP ~ Lullaby
Stamp Sets ~ Life in the Forest, Label Love
Tools/Other Supplies ~ Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips, Artisan Label punch,7/8" Scallop Circle punch, Arrows & Delicate designs Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Liquid Adhesive, Blender Pen, Black StazOn, Glue Dots

Happy Graduation!

I put together a Graduation card tonight. I used the school's colors. That in itself made this a challenge for me. I tend to go after the softer hue'd, vintage colors... not the bright ones. I was STUMPED! If I have more time before this weekend, I'm going to try and re-do this one. It's just not my favorite. The pictures don't really show off the silver embossing. I'll have to work on photographing that better...



Supplies Used:
Paper ~ Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink ~ Tangerine Tango, Basic Black
Stamp Sets ~ Blue Ribbon, You're Amazing, Affection Collection, misc. background letter stamp
Other Supplies ~ Silver Embossing Powder
