A Noah"s Ark Baby Card

Hi everyone! Heres my make for the Rick St Dennis MFA Progressive challenge.

Ive used the amazing Noah digi Stamp. I thought that it would make the perfect baby card.

To make my card I started with a square cream card blank and then matted with plum card stock, and then a purple check paper that I had in my stash. I chose purple and yellow colours so that it could be used for a baby boy or baby girl. I then die cut a shape out of plum and then out of a yellow paper. I stitched around my papers with my old clapped out sewing machine. I printed out the Noah digi and coloured with copic markers. I then fussy cut it all out which took a fair bit of time and popped it up with double sided foam tape. I finished off with yellow ribbon and beads that spelt baby.

Here are the colours that I used:

B23,B26,BG53,BG57,BG72,BG75,R11,YR21,YR24,YR20,W0,W2,W5,W7,C1,C3,C5,E13,E11,E53,C6,C2,B91,B95,B12,B14,YR16,E34,E31,YR68,E57,E59,E000,E01,E55,E35

Celebrate

Hi everyone I just wanted to share a colouring in that I did. I used Cheri Shull's birthday bash freebie. I printed it so that it was the right size to mount onto a card as Id like to send it to a friend for their birthday. It took awhile to colour but I enjoyed every bit of it. I used Prisma Pencils that I was lucky enough to win. I can't wait to do more colouring.

Having a Hoot of a Christmas

Hi everyone here is a decoupage Christmas card that I made. I used decoupage that I got in a magazine last year (and only now have had a chance to do) The decoupage is Mulberry Woods isn't cute. To make my card I started off with a gold card base and then matted it with papers that I also got with the magazine. I built the decoupage using a double sided foam tape and added it to my card using a red matt. I added a sentiment a glitter gem and some holly. To finish off I used some glitter glue to add some christmas sparkle.

Im adding this to A Snowflakes Promise challenge which is a Winter/Christmas theme
