Welcome little one

 

A work colleague of  DH and his wife have had a baby girl and would you believe I didn't have a girl card to hand!  There are several boy cards in the card box and no pink ones at all...  So I opted for this old favourite from Phindy's Place, called Contentment, it is one of my all time favourites, so serene, also it colours quickly and easily lol.  I used this week's sketch from Card Positioning Systems and grabbed my Basic Grey Kioshi pad for an easy colourscheme.  Coloured with Copics, the Basic Grey plain DP was run through an embossing folder, the punch is a Martha Stewart.  Don't forget you have until Friday to enter baby projects at Phindy's Place Challenge too!

My card is for the following challenges:  

Card Positioning Systems - sketch

Digital Tuesday - welcome little one

Everybody Art Challenge - baby

Paper Playtime - anything digi goes

Dream Valley - new beginnings

Poppy Days

 

Here's a reminder of summertime on a cold winter day, we have a light dusting of snow outside.  Both the scene and the poppy are Sheena Douglass stamps and she has made some lovely cards by leaving the scene sepia and giving the poppies vivid colours.  I used Aquamarkers and I did colour the background but kept it soft and subdued.  The frame is Nellie Snellen, background DP My Mind's Eye, sentiment from Craftwork Cards and I've used a little of my precious red velvet ric-rac.
I'm entering the following challegens with my card:
 Card Positioning Systems - sketch
Digi Doodle Shop's Best - red and green
Delightful Challenges - flower power
Paper Playtime - thank you
