Welcome Baby

Pamela-Mar02

Hi readers! Happy Saturday to you! It’s getting closer and closer to Spring in the mid-west, and that makes me one very happy girl! Spring seems to inevitably bring lots of baby announcements and arrivals, so I thought that our guest Pamela Ho, made a brilliant choice for her card theme this month!

For a full supplies list and a brief description of the card concept, read on below!

Enjoy!

I wanted the stars to be metallic gold so I colored my white embossing paste with the Delicata gold pigment ink refill.  I applied a generous layer of colored embossing paste onto the stencil for more texture and dimension as the background.

I colored and fussy cut the elephants from the Paper Smooches stamp set – A Little Lovin’.  I didn’t have any gold thread so I took some sewing thread and colored it with the Delicata gold as well.  The card was finished off with a sentiment from the same stamp set.

  1. Cute!! I love the twine in the background–I always forget that the little extras make a great card excellent!

  2. I think this stamp is so cute. I collect elephants but I haven’t collected this stamp yet. Have to put that on my list to purchase. Great card.

  3. Adorable! I love the gold stars…I think it’s great to use different mediums to get the look you want, with the thread as well. It looks great colored with ink. Just a super sweet card!

  4. Precious card and love the gold thread behind the sweet elephant image! Thanks so much for sharing.

  5. One of my very favorite stamps and Pamela always does exquisite work. Amazing stars. Amazing coloring. Even the wispy threads are perfectly wispy.
