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
It was so cute I didn't want to give it away :) Thanks for always whipping up awesome creations for me on such short notice!
