Baby, It's Cold Outside with Delicious Doodles

Cold?? We haven't seen the worst of it yet. There's been frost on my car a couple of mornings this week that I've had to scrape off and this is only October!! It's going to be a hard winter if the berries on the bushes are to be believed.
I digress
The purpose of this post is to show you the card I made for the new Delicious Doodles challenge that's just started. All about the cold, and a good excuse to get another "C" card done for the collection.

An easel card using "A Crofter's Winter"

 Bit more of a close-up on the main panel.

The main panel is Crafters' Companion with some added poinsettia diecuts

mats all different types of white card/paper.

The centre panel from the front was used for the greeting (Visible Image)

A bit of bling to finish and job done

Thanks for looking.

Hope to see you show us your "Cold" creations at the challenge at Delicious Doodles

New Baby

With Christmas and Valentine's day gone, blog land seems to have had a crystal ball out and there're a few challenges now for "New Baby". I say crystal ball because I have been asked to make no less than 7 new baby cards for the next couple of weeks. There must've been something in the water 9 months ago because of all of them are girls bar only one that we don't know yet. This is the first of the batch.
Using a new born line drawing found using Google.
The artist wasn't identified I'm afraid, so I can't give credit. I coloured the image using promarkers, smudging some pearlescent pink pigment ink round the edges and dots of stickles in the corners. This was layered onto pale pink pearlised CS. The bottom panel was pieced together using some baby papers (that were gifted to me by a friend a year ago when I first started making cards, so of unknown origin). Layered onto the pink pearlised and a scrap of darker pink paper. The "Sweet Girl" sentiment is from a selection of preprinted vellum sentiments.
The bouquet made from a selection of flowers from Crafty Feelings.
That's the bottom part of the card.
For the top part.....

I cut a circle from pearlised silver CS using decorative scissors to provide "grip" and stamped 6 baby images on it using stazon ink. Slightly coloured using pencils. Cut a hole from the top layers to allow those images to be seen (edged with silver peeloff) and secured with a brad.

Ribbon down the side and a "Ten tiny fingers.." stamp (Stazon ink) stamp. Finished off with some flock covered hands and feet brads that I cut the backs off and stuck on.
All mounted onto pink CS base.

I'm all pinked out now...... until tomorrow when I have to do another.
