Sassy Baby Shower card

Hello my Crafty Peeps and happy Friday!

Hope all is well! Today it's a cold and rainy day... I wanted to go to the movies watch 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2' ... not sure that it's going to happen... no baby sitter... and too rainy for a drive-in movie... can't go shopping no money... it went to the plumber a few days ago (ugh) AND he still didn't fix the problem... apparently it's somewhere between the house and the sewer lateral but on my property :( . This is so not cool right before the holidays and right before baby is due I'm 38 weeks+ 2 days; yep I think I'm having myself a little butterball (Literally, none of my previous pregnancies have gone this far).

Anyway... sorry TMI lol

There's this other gal at my church she's due next month and I wasn't able to make it to her baby shower but I made her a card anyway. This image from Sassy Studio Designs reminded me of her because she wears those pretty maxi dresses. She's having a little girl (I know I didn't make it pink) I hope she likes it though.

I think she's called Preggo Honey

The skin and dress  are colored with Copic markers.

The hair is colored with Spectrum Noirs.

The Heart Lace/ribbon was given to me by my mother

(it was a thrift store find- I think)

It's from Teeny Trims (never heard of it before but I love it)

 I Used Copic Atyou Spica pens to go over the words and make them glittery

also used it the eye-shadow and lips (wish I could capture it better on the pictures)

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs*

NO Patterned Paper

Thank you: Nursery Nurse

Hello Everyone!


Hope all is well. Here's another challenge and partnership of new sponsors sites for J.D.E. this week we are are introducing Bugaboo Stamps which are created by Jodie. Jodie is a mom of 5 and has been designing graphics for 9 years. She has many types of stamps from babies to special causes to animals to sexy and to cranky old people (I meant that in the funny way no disrespect to old people teehee.) 


I made this card specifically for the Nursery Nurses. All of my children were born early and there has been no explanations on why except the last one which the doctors think it may have been due to dehydration. Who knows but at the N.I.C.U. the nurses were Nurturing, Understanding, Remarkable, Sweet and Efficient. 

This is my showcase for Bugaboo Stamp: Eggbert Nurse 2

The sketch is for this weeks optional/anything goes challenge at http://jacksonsdigitalexpressions.blogspot.com/

I believe it was also using 3 colors. 

My main colors of course were yellow and then  pink and blue for acccents.

I had this card "almost" done and then I didn't like the designer paper I had previously chosen so I hand drew baby feet like the receiving blankets at the hospital. I also drew them on the baby egg.

I also, didn't have ribbon wide enough so I glued 3 ribbons to make a wider looking ribbon matching the baby's blanket.  

For the sentiment I just used my printer and spellbinders... came up with a few words for each letter in the word NURSE. This would be a great card for a "surprise baby," since it's not gender specific.

Hope you liked the card and enjoyed your visit. 

Hugs,

My entry for Peachy Keen Stamps

Hello Everyone, Hope all is well regardless the weather elsewhere in the country. Hope that just means more time for art & crafts ;) and more time spent with family :)
from the site:
*** Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 44 w/a Twist

THE CHALLENGE

Create a card or layout based on the SKETCH provided
TWIST
Use a monochromatic color scheme 

What exactly is monochromatic? Using tints and shades of the same color. (i.e. if you choose "red", you must use red, pink, light pink, medium pink, etc.) Black and white will also be allowed! C'mon, it will be fun and SUCH a challenge! ****

So here's my take on it.

 A baby card, 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'

The finished card

babies in blankets like in the nursery ready to go home

two blankets hand drawn stitching and the other two I used the Cuttlebug and lightly penciled in some color for added monochromatic effect. I also added rolled up pieces of cardstock I was planning to throw away anyway for cushion. I added some glue for the illusion of the babies bodies under their blankets.

The star decorated with Stickles and the black background for a night sky with small drawn stars and a Stickle drop in the in middle.
