Alternative Baby Card

Hi everyone, Heidi here, for today’s project I created a baby card with some gender neutral and alternative colours.


To start this fun card I stamped three of the images from the Kennedy Grace Creations “Sweet Baby Mine” stamp set on Strathmore Bristol Smooth Surface paper with Versafine “Onyx Black” ink and I clear heat embossed afterwards. This way the lines stay black and crisp no matter how much water you ad.  
The idea behind this card is that these cuties are the baby's toy animals.

Then I started colouring with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and my Pentel waterbrush. I used the following colours:
Lemon Yellow and Yellow, Bright Yellow and Orange, May Green, Pale Green and Green, Pale Dawn Gray, Haze Blue, Shadow Mauve, Light Gray and Light Blue. I went over the yellow parts of the animals with my “Clear” Wink of Stella and added some white lines with a Gelly Roll Pen for more interest. After the images were dry I fuzzy cut them out with my Fiskars scissors and set them aside.


For my background I wanted to use a technique called “ink smooshing”. Normally I would do that with Distress Inks but this time I wanted to try this technique with my Zig markers. I die cut a stitched rectangle panel from watercolour card stock and used the colours Shadow Mauve (which is a fairly light colour, so I needed to go in several times to make enough of that colour visible) and Pale Dawn Gray.
I love the result and it gives these cute animals a little ground to sit on. Both of the sentiments used on this card are from the same Kennedy Grace Creations stamp set as the animals, I stamped them on the watercolour panel with Versafine “Onyx Black” ink and my MISTI stamping tool.

Next I created a mat from some matching green card stock and adhered the watercolour panel on there with liquid glue. These combined panels I adhered to a linen textured white coloured card base with one millimetre thick foam tape and then arranged the cute animals on the watercolour panel with one millimetre thick foam tape.

And that finishes today’s fun and playful baby card! 
I wish everyone a creative day!

One Layered Card - Featuring Kennedy Grace Creations: Time To Blossom

Hey folks! I'm back to share a card from the Kennedy Grace Creations New Release! The stamp set I used today is the Time To Blossom Stamp Set . I really enjoyed the simplicity of this set. You could totally heat emboss this and do some fabulous watercoloring, but Copic's seems to be the way to go for me lately so that's what I did. I started by stamping the image twice on my card panel. The only masking I did was a tiny bit on the stem. The name of the game was to keep this super simple folks. As I said, I colored the images with Copic's. Another thing I enjoy about the Time To Blossom Stamp Set is that you could choose any colors you wanted. I chose red-violets and yellow-greens, but seriously peeps, whatever floats your boat and it will looks great! To finish off my card, I used a added a couple of hand drawn lines to the background and I stamped a portion of a stamp that is also in the Time To Blossom Stamp Set . That's it! Easy peasy. T
