I seem to have spent a lot of time playing with Butterfly Gala a lot recently. I then had one of those moments when I couldn’t decide what I wanted to make of the stamps I wanted to use.
So I decided to see what challenges there were out there today. I find these really inspirational and the perfect way to craft easily. There were a number of challenges which I could enter, but today I decided to use the fabulous Stamp Ink Paper (#stampinkpaper). The inspiration is #184 Something for Baby.
I have a number of sets which I could of used for this card, but decided to go with First Steps. It is an amazingly cute set that I can imagine that I would keep even after it is no longer current. It is perfect for new baby cards. I had a left over card from a swap that I was making this morning so devised a simple card using this.
I cut a circle from a scrap of card using the layering circle dies to use as a stencil. I stuck the stencil on to the Whisper White card using washi tape. I have used Pool Party ink, I removed most of the ink to a create a light circle through the stencil using a sponge dauber. I used Balmy Blue for the foot and then Crumb Cake for the sentiment. I love the sentiment and think that this is enough to make the card work. | have layered the Whisper White on to layer of Pool Party which is slightly larger than the Whisper White layer and then added this on to a Balmy Blue card base.
You can find the other entries here
Dimensions
Base - Balmy Blue - 21cm x 14.5cm (folded at 10.5cm)
Layer - Pool Party- 9.5cm x 13.5cm
Stamped Layer - Whisper White- 9cm x 13cm
If you use inches I would recommend the Whisper White layer is 3/4 inch smaller than the Balmy Blue.
I have a few more challenge cards to make. I hope you like this one!
