Hi Stampers, so friends of mine (fellow Stampin’ Bloggers) are on a brand new design team – Global Design Team. In order to congratulate them, I’ve decided to play along. They have changed us to use three Stampin’ Up! colors: Smoky Slake, Pink Pirouette and So Saffron.
Here is the baby card I created using those colors. They just said “Baby Girl” to me… The card base is Smoky Slate – 8.5″ x 5.5″, scored at 4.25″. Next is a 5.25″ x 4″ layer of Pink Pirouette card stock followed by a 5″ x 3.75″ layer of Whisper White card stock. I used the Stampin’ Up! Something for Baby stamp set and colored directly on the stamp with my Smoky Slate & So Saffron Stampin’ Write markers for the baby carriage and duck. Using a scrap of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the baby onesie in Pink Pirouette ink and stamped the heart in the middle of the shirt with Pink Pirouette.
Stampin’ Tip: Even though the onesie was Pink Pirouette, the heart (stamped in the same color) appears darker because it’s stamped on top. It gives a tone on tone effect. Much like stamping any of our inks onto a card stock of the same color.
I used Smoky Slate and Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Write markers to color the hanger and stamped the “Welcome Baby” from the very useful And Many More stamp set, from Stampin’ Up!
I cut out the onesie using the matching Baby’s First framelit set and adhered it to the card with dimensionals. Since every girl needs a little bling, I used my two way glue pen and some dazzling diamonds glitter to accent several areas and then added a string of pearls around the neck of the onesie.
I hope I did the new challenge justice.
Happy Stamping!
Such a cute card. The colors are perfect for this theme. Thanks so much for joining us at Global Design Project, Lisa!
Such a fun group of colors!
Thank you for your support Lisa. So lovely of you to play along with the GDP. Your card is very sweet. Love your stamping tip of adding a tone of colour. Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project color challenge! Look forward to seeing you play along with us again.
Thanks! I, too, hope to be back many times to play along!
Lisa – You’ve done these colors proud – what an adorable baby card – the onesie, the buggie and the rubber ducky – say that 10 times fast. 🙂 Thank you so much for playing along with this week’s Global Design Project color challenge.
Thanks, Brian! Happy to support you on your new venture.
Hi Lisa! What an adorable baby card! This is such a great stamp set. The dazzling diamonds glitter certainly makes this card even cuter. Thanks so much for playing along to our first Global Design Project. Louise xo
Yes, I LOVE this stamp set! Thank you.
Lisa I know what you mean about these soft ‘baby girl’ colours. That’s what I thought of too (but then went a different direction). I love all the different elements you’ve put together and that glitter-y little hanger is my favourite! Thanks so much for taking the time to play along with us in our very first challenge!
Thank you!
Wonderful card Lisa, really like the little bit of bling that you added.
Thank you!
