Baby Card/Creative Inspirations Challenge 10 - Cards for Males

I so love making baby cards. A young lady I work with asked me to make this card for her. Her sister is due to have a baby boy early next week...what an exciting time. She stipulated what she wanted it to say on the front and said I could do what I wanted. I just had to use this lovely Penny Black stamp "Baby Hammock", it is so darn cute. I coloured the image with my trusty Promarkers.

The papers are downloads from Pink Petticoat. I find these spot papers very universal, I have been playing around with these papers a lot recently, so many colours to choose from too.

Overall it is a very simple card but very effective I think, I know I love it.

This card also doubles as my DT card for the Creative Inspirations Challenge this week. We would like you to make a card for a male be it your grandad, your boyfriend or a baby boy, the choice is yours.

This week's prize is a $20 Voucher for 'Simon Says Stamp' and they have said they will also cover the P+P Charges, a great prize! Woohoo, come on guys get crafting and let's see what you all come up with.

I hope you like the card. Thanks for looking.

Baby Boy

Happy Saturday to you all...what a glorious day it is out there, come on the Summer, that's what I say.

Well I was woken up this morning to the sound of the doorbell and guess who it was....the postmasn with my Prismacolour Pencils.....yay! I didn't think they would arrive until next week so I get to have a play over the long weekend. In fact, I did have a little play today and decided to colour this Penny Black image that I had stamped already. I've gotta say, I am loving these pencils, I love the effect.

The card I have made is a different style than usual. I saw this on a website and decided to have a go at making it and I love it. It's not perfect but for my first go it's ok and I do like it. What do you think, do you like it? I do actually have a baby boy card to make for an order but this is a little small but I just love making baby cards, they're so enjoyable to make aren't they.

Anyhow, onto the elements I used to make this card:

The papers are printed from Pink Petticoat
I cut the heart using my nestabilities
