Welcome Sweet Baby
Creating a Beautiful Baby Card
This card is so adorably gorgeous that I posted it on social media and was completely flogged with orders for it, everyone simply needed this card for an upcoming baby!
The card features a digital stamp design from Ram Stamps, which is a gold mine of beautiful images that I have been working with in my digital adventures.
The card was easy to create - a digital file, a rectangle mask (self created), some inks for blending and some copic markers.
If you are new to using digital files to create images on your card front you can find out more about that here. I'm also working on a step by step video to help you see how easy working with digital images can be. After all, seeing it is easier than reading instructions.
So... if you have read the brief how to on digital images or perhaps you were already schooled on the procedure and have that in your arsenal of crafty tricks here is where to find this adorable image at Ram Stamps. I would appreciate if you use the link I provided to purchase the image since I have an affiliation with Ram Stamps and your purchase helps me to continue posting project ideas on this page.
Once you have downloaded the image follow the simple steps to print it onto a card front.
Color the image with your desired coloring tools.
Using a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 copy paper and a rectangle die big enough to leave you with
a nice frame after die cutting it. This creates a rectangle mask to frame your image.
Using EZ dots repositionable tape or wherever you get your adhesives from, apply the mask to the card front. Using a blending brush and Catherine Pooler - by the Lake ink, blend lightly around the edges and the sides of the mask. Use Catherine Pooler - Grass Skirt Ink for blending around the bottom and just lower sides of the mask. Remove the mask.
The sentiment came from Larger Than Life baby Sentiments from Papertrey Ink.
This is actually my go to for baby sentiments - I love the font!
The card front was matted onto a grey colored cardstock that would match the color of the bunny. It was tough to choose the backing color since a light pink would have matched the color the of the tiny flower in the bunny's hand, and blue looked absolutely fabulous, however I wanted to keep the card gender neutral so it could be used for any beautiful new addition to this world.
Lastly I added a few rhinestones that would match the blue color that just
happened to be lingering in my stash to give the card a tiny bit of sparkle.
Though overall I just wanted the card to have a very simple feel.
I hope this card has given you some creative inspiration and if you choose to purchase the image and create this card or anything similar to it then that would be absolutely awesome!
Happy Crafting...
