Die cut the frame and the cloud shape twice from a piece of white card stock. Stamp the greeting on to one cloud and tape it to the bottom of the frame. Create the sky background using the other cloud shape as a mask. Use the lilac ink pad and a blending tool along the top edge of the cloud, fading the colour away from the cloud edge. Move further down and off set the cloud then add the ink again. Repeat til you have a full sky. Make card blank and use pink ink pad and blending tool to colour the front. Glue the sky panel and frame central on to the card front.
Stamp, colour and die cut the little images. Use the sparkle pen to add shimmer to the balloon. Attach these to the card using foam for dimension.


For this card I also added a sentiment into the inside. I coloured the larger letters with pink then sparkle on top.
Overall a cute new baby card that’s a little bit different to what I normal create.

Memento ink pad- tuxedo black 

Copic friendly card stock. Lilac Pearl card blank. 


I stamped my image and sentiment on to a piece of card stock, which had been trimmed to fit my card front  leaving a small border. I coloured the image, then glued it on to the card blank. This makes a really simple card, that really lets the colouring be the main focus of the card. The Pearl card stock adds a nice shimmer to frame the image. The birthday sentiment could easily be changed to a thank you too.

To make this simple card, I covered the front of a card blank with paper. I cut a strip of white cardstock and stamped my image and sentiment. I coloured using copic sketch markers and added sparkle to the bow for detail. I used a border punch to shape the edges before I glued it to the card.
