I'm so glad it's almost the weekend. Gorgeous Kid is heading off camping so I get to hang at home and do whatever I want ... give you one guess at what I hope to be doing!
Time for another Just Add Ink challenge and this week we have a great sketch for you to play along with.
When putting my card together I had a recipient in mind. The fabulous Sam Post had a new baby boy just recently and I wanted to send it her way *hi Sam*.
I've used the traditional baby boy colour of Bashful Blue for my base, adding Real Red and a little Close to Cocoa (now retired) plus some BB dsp with a Scallop Trim edge. White Satin ribbon and a little red button finish it off nicely. I used the Star image from the retired Nursery Necessities s/set and slathered it with Crystal Effects.
There is some gorgeous DT inspiration this week so head on over to JAI and check it out. Hope you can play along with us too.
Snap Patrice!! I sent my entry to Sam too :-) LOVE your version of the sketch. It's amazing how different each card looks.

Patrice I like your take on the sketch and I wouldn't have thought to put Bashful Blue with Real Red...but it really works well together!
ReplyDeleteLove this, clever girl! I really like the angles of the main panel and the star, complemented by the rounded edges of the punched border and the tag die. Hey, if you take a break from stamping this weekend, send me that promised email!! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThis is an absolutely gorgeous baby boy card. Lovely job on the sketch and the bow is just perfect.
