Welcome Baby - CTD #340

CTD340_2015apr29


Hello, everyone, it’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! This week the awesome Jodi is hosting and she has chosen some SWEET colors for us: pink, green, aqua.

I thought these pastel colors would be great for a sweet baby card. I’d been wanting to pair BB Somebunny balloons with the elephant from MSTN Wild Things and this was the perfect opportunity. I started with a Grout Gray card stock, then proceeded with one of my favorite layouts. I stamped up some patterned paper using Plaid Builder Background and Tickled Pink dye ink, Sour Apple dye ink, and Blu Raspberry dye ink and added a panel to my card base. Next up is a strip of Sweater Knit Background stamped with Tickled Pink dye ink. Then I popped up a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock dry embossed with Starry Night Stencil and added a Stitched Circle Die-namics cut from Sheet Music Background stamped Sweet Tooth card stock. Next I cut and stamped the elephant and the balloons on Neenah Classic Crest Cover, Solar White Smooth, 110lb paper with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored them with Copic markers and popped them up on foam mounting tape. The sentiment is from LJD Beautiful Baby and was stamped on Steel Gray card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. I finished up with some silver glitter stars, cut with Star STAX Die-namics, Sun, Moon, & Stars Die-namics, and Scattered Stars Die-namics along with a few enamel dots.

Another sentiment from LJD Beautiful Baby was stamped on the inside.
