Keira Lilys arrived...

Afternoon - It's the first challenge of 2018 for All Dressed Up blog and I have made this card for my new niece (Is she my niece if its my Husbands sister's baby??)

The challenge is always anything goes with an All Dressed Up image and I have used Little Treasure

 The background paper is from Crate Paper - Little you and the Banner & mat are from Lawn Fawn Perfectly Plaid Rainbow. I also used this to paper piece some of the image. It is all mounted onto pink bazzill card. I used My Favourite things inside outside stitched square die on the image and a dienamics banner die for the name. The letters are from My Minds Eye essential collection. The numbers for the date of birth are from Doodlebug and I used a Spellbinders heart die and attached a little wooden elephant embellishment. I also added some little gems and some Wycinanka hearts which I filled a couple with Star dust stickles.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Warm grey 1 to 4
Baby pink & Pink Mittens
Tan, Linen & Nutmeg
Powder Blue.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Im pleased to say the new little family loved the card and Keira is growing bigger everyday.

Little Treasures - ADU

Afternoon all - Have you seen there is a new challenge starting today at All Dressed Up blog? 

As always it is an Anything Goes challenge as long as you use one of the gorgeous All Dressed Up Images. And the quality of the Design team inspiration is just fabulous! (And I'm not just saying that as I am one of them!!)

This month I have used an image called  Little Treasure  and it was made for all my work colleagues to sign to send to celebrate a new baby. 

Firstly I covered a large base card with wood effect paper from DCWV - The Goodwood Stack. I also used a scalloped die edge from MFT to cut the panel from Tilda Flower garden spotty paper which I also used to paper piece the Teddy's top. I added some Wycinanka hearts a couple of this I filled with Diamond stickles. I tied some red twine around the base card and tied this in a bow and also glued this in place with a little wooden heart.

I die cut a banner and used Doodlebug letter stickers to spell out the new babies name and put some gems on the first and last flag. I also used gems to separate the number stickers which show her date of birth.
I also used Paper Smooches stamp to say "Congratulations" inside the card along with Lawn Fawn Harolds ABC  stamps. 

I used a  MFT dienamics scalloped stitched edge, banner, inside / outside stitched square to cut the image which I coloured using Promarkers & Flexmarkers -

Bunny  - Warm Greys
Teddy -  Linen, Tan & Nutmeg
Feet & ears -  Pink Mittens, Baby Pink & Cocktail pink
Blue grey - edges

I hope you like it - I love making cards like this that can be kept as a keep sake or framed for the Baby's room.
Back with you again soon to show you some more of the latest creations and hope to see lots of entries in the challenge,
