Card to Wall Art

Hi blogging friends. The other week my SIL asked if I could make her a couple cards for 2 baby showers she was attending, which by the way I forgot to take pictures of. I was a little extra excited because I got to make "girlie" cards. They were a big hit by the way! One of her friends that was at the shower is also pregnant, and asked if I could make one for her as well. She loved it and wanted to hang it on the wall in the baby's room. She doesn't know yet if she is having a boy or girl, but thought the card had a good mix of colors and it would fit in either way.

I decided to make it 5x7in. instead of the standard A2 size, because I thought it would be a nice size to frame. I made a few changes so that it was a little more unisex, but used all the same original colors. It's very simple, but sweet. I hope she likes it!

Recipe:

PP-My Mind's Eye

CS-Papertrey Ink

Cindy Loo-deer (3 layers) and tree

Gypsy Wandering-grass

MS scallop circle punch

Stamps, Ribbon and Ink-Papertrey Ink (Mixed Messages)

White and Black Sakura Gelly Roll pens

Glossy Accents to accentuate the sweet deer's eye

I do find the layering of the deer a little odd, so I did make a few cuts of each layer in different colors to see what I liked the best. There is actually one more layer which I used on the cards, but decided not to on this one. There are just so many cute images that are great for babies and children and it's so hard to choose sometimes! The good news is there is pretty much always a reason to scrap or make a card.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope I see you back soon!

Layout -Sunshine

Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! I love how this LO turned out and wanted to share it.

I also came to a realization that I need an adhesive remover. I hate how you can see the residue in pictures! Anyway, on to the layout...

Recipe:
George and Basic Shapes
Cindy Loo
Plantin Schoolbook
MS scalloped circle punch
SU! corner rounder
PP-Fancy Pants
Cardstock and Ink-Papertrey Ink

I picked a circle from the George cartridge and used my Gypsy to weld the word 'sunshine' around the top. I chose to make it the focal point of the page since I knew that was where I would put my picture. I used both layers of the font on CL for 'sunshine' and then used Plantin for 'you are my'. I also used my Gypsy to weld those 3 words together. Then I got some more circles from George and made them several different sizes to create a border and a place to put my title. I did use my Gypsy to make sure the circles were large enough to fit a word on 3 of them. I also used a scalloped circle punch for the smaller circles. I did some inking around the letters with the help of a great tool called Fantastix. It's a small pointed tool that can help you get ink on some of those small letters and embellishments. I found out about this tool from Elizabeth at 217 Creations . She is amazingly talented, so please go check her out.

I hope this LO brings you a little sunshine! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!
