So in case you haven't noticed I love a good challenge, I find it really helps me to get creating. I was thrilled when I found this challenge at Pals Paper Arts, a new challenge blog hosted by some amazing paper crafters. You have to check it out and see their beautifully inspiring creations.
So when a friend called this morning asking if I could whip up a baby card for her because her neighbour gave birth to a beautiful baby girl this morning,I knew just what I wanted to do! I have been looking for an excuse to CASE this amazing card and today seemed to be the perfect day to do so. I will not go into detail as LeeAnn has done a fabulous tutorial on how to recreate this cute baby buggy. But I did dry emboss the Very Vanilla card stock with the Big Shot and SU! impressions die called Final Press-I love the delicate swirls and flowers that it has on it.
So that is my Challenge card using the three colours Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Chocolate Chip. I just love the way they go together and will definately be using this combo again!
Stamps: Nusery Necessaries Paper: Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip, Bermuda Bay and Very Vanilla Accesseries: Big Shot, Scallop 2 die, Final Press Impressions, Swirls Die, Jumbo Brads Neautrals, Word Window Punch, Trio Flower Punch, Melon Mambo Ribbon
What a cute card, Jenn! I'm sure the new mother of the baby girl will be thrilled to receive it! Great job with the challenge colors! Thanks for participating in PPA's first challenge!
