Non- Traditional Baby Card

Hi, it’s Mona here, and in my newest video I will show you how I mixed these cute critters from different seasonal sets, and how I made this shiny sentiment in the center of my card.

First, I stamped the big baby sentiment from the Baby stamp set with watermark ink to a piece of teal cardstock, then I heat embossed it with my heat gun. After heat embossing, I picked my Prismacolor white pencil, and I made a quick coloring on these small images to make them pop out a little. It’s super simple, just a flat coloring. Then I added sparkly details with clear glitter pen and white blizzard Nuvo Drops.

I continued with the stamping but this time with brown alcohol ink friendly inkpad to a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. I have stamped the images from the Monster Hugs, Pumpkin Patch Critters, Summer Drinks as well as the Baby stamp set. Then I colored them with alcohol-based Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

I have used the following colors: PP1, FS1, MG1, MG2, AP4, CR1, BO05, BO1, BO2, OR1, BO4, CT1, CT2, CT4, GY3, EB6, EB2, BG1, BT1, BT4, BT3, Blender.

After the coloring I die-cut all the images, then I picked the Slimline Peekaboo Windows Dies, and I fixed the coordinating baby die to the center of the die with a craft tape and then I run it through my die cut machine with a piece of pastel teal cardstock. I also made a bit larger white die-cut as a card front with the larger die from the same Slimline Die Set. Then I adhered the previously created baby text to the back of the slimline die-cut with liquid adhesive.

I wanted to break the smooth pastel look of this cardstock, so I blended some stars on it with light blue inkpad through the star stencil from the Spooky Sky stencil set. After this I splattered on it with white watercolor and gave it a quick heat set.

In the end styled my card with these lovely images. I like to use different types of adhesives, to add a bit dimension to the final look.

Thank you so much for stopping by, see you next time.

Hugs, Mona.
