Something for Baby

Good day everyone! We are stuck in the middle of another heatwave.  Yesterday felt like 107F and today is suppose to be a bit hotter than that.  No relieve until maybe Thursday.  I know the West coast is experiencing like conditions but even hotter if one can imagine, and worse for them as they don't normally see these types of temperatures.

My card today is one that I made for my card order last month.  A baby girl.  Now I know this probably isn't your typical 'girly' colours, but I went with a more vintage look.  Also the clothes look more pink than what the dp paper is, but in real I tell you they are pretty close in colour.  So strange how a camera can make it look so different.

Regardless, here is my card:

The dies I used for the clothes, I purchased from AliExpress a few years ago, I also have the boy set, they are so cute.  Oval die is from Spellbinders.

Paper is from Graphic 45 - little darlings collection. The sentiment 'baby girl' is from a Papertrey Ink set, stamped in versafine gray ink.

Once everything was put together I added some flowers and pearls to finish this off.

Wishing you all a wonderful day! Take care,

Pauline

Miss Your Smile - slimline

 Hi!  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Weather has been so hot here, but looks like tomorrow and Wednesday we have a little reprieve before it heats up again. 

Today's card is a slim line using Pinkfresh Studio - Miss Your Smile stencils.  I am so hooked on stencils lately, it makes for speedy and beautiful cards. I used a variety of colours to create this all being Pinkfresh Studio inks.

The Happy Birthday is also a Hot Foil plate from Pinkfresh with a matching die set.  All sentiment words are on one glimmer plate, so you just need to run it through your Glimmer machine and the die is all in one sheet as well, so one pass through your Spellbinder Platinum I have a variety of sentiments at once.  

To finish off I added some pearls and wink of stella clear glitter pen.

I appreciate you stopping by for a visit.  Hope you have a fabulous day!

Embossed resist sympathy cards

Hello!  Today I'm back to share a couple of sympathy cards.  

For both cards I started by heat embossing the image in white, onto some white cougar c/s. I then created a rectangle mask out of some thinner cardstock, so I could sponge on some ink. I used distress oxide inks for both - sorry I did keep a list of colours as I did these a while ago.

First card I used an image from Gina K - Natural Silhouettes, sentiment is from SSS.

Second card, image is from Woodware - Scandinavian Spray, and sentiment is from PTI.

To finish off I added enamel dots and tiny coloured pearls.

Thank you for stopping by.  I know I have some blogs I need to catch up on, will visit very soon.

Take care and have a wonderful day!

For someone Special

 Hi, hope you are all doing well.  I was going to post this card last week, but had to wait until our daughter-in-law received her birthday card, as I didn't want to ruin her surprise.

I had the floral piece stamped out a while ago, as I had stamped out several of these in a variety of colours to have on hand.

Stamps and dies are from Pinkfresh Studio.  For the frame, once cut I sponged some speckled egg onto it. (I think that's what I used).  I popped the frame up from the background piece, and also added some foam squares behind the flowers so everything was level with the frame.  

For the sentiment, I used my Spellbinder Hot Glimmer machine and glimmer dies, using foil.

To finish off I added a crystal heart and some tiny pearls.  Added SSS unicorn dust glitter to the flowers.

It is very hot here, started on Friday and will continue all next week. Heat warnings are out.  Currently as I type this it feels like 94F (34C).

Thank you for stopping by, keep well,

Pauline
