I'm back, I'm back! FINALLY I am back to entering challenges again! For those who don't know, I recently got married, and between all the wedding crafting and planning, the wedding itself, and the honeymoon I stepped away from card making for about 4 months. Well, I'm SO GLAD to be back and to be entering the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge again with a sweet baby card. This week's challenge is a Cool Shades challenge and called for using the following color combination:
Cocoa, Coral, Kraft, Yellow
As usual, I'm entering the challenge at the last minute, lol! I had a couple of baby cards I needed to make and one of them I cannot post here because it's for another challenge participant! The card that I made for this challenge is actually for Raffaella, the girl that took my too-small wedding dress and reworked it beautifully so that it would fit me absolutely perfectly! Raffaella was a delight to work with - a truly wonderful and funny person - and she was very pregnant while she was working on my dress! I really wanted to make her this card to celebrate her new baby, little Levi, who arrived at the end of July. I've heard that both mama and baby are doing wonderfully. So, here's my card:
One of these days I will actually take well-lit photos, especially since I always end up taking them after the sun has set for the night. In the meantime, though, this is what you get - so sorry!
I tried to make a card for a baby boy given the color chart, so I used the coral for the mama elephant and the light yellow for the baby elephant and then kept the other elements to the card either yellow or neutral. I think it works! The only coloring I did was to use white gel pen on the tusk and toenails.
Supplies used:
Paper Smooches Stamps: A Little Lovin
Lawn Fawn: Pink Lemonade paper, Lawn Trimmings in Lemon
What a pretty card-- love the plaid elephants! SOOOOO adorable! Perfect take on these colors! THANKS so much for joining in the fun and playing along with us over at the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge <3
