Try it on Tuesday - New Beginnings

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to another challenge starting over at Try it on Tuesday. This time around our theme is perfect for this time of year - NEW BEGINNINGS. New baby, new home, new couple...etc.

I decided to go with a baby card. I have several people in my life you are expecting this year, so I figured I might as well get a head start. I went with a girl card, chances are somebody will have a girl!




The peach layer was painted with DecoArt Americana Acrylic paints Melon and Coral Blush, then stamped with a Rubbernecker stamp and then highlighted with a white pencil crayon. The green layer was painted with DecoArt Americana Acrylic paints Pistachio Mint and Citron Green. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Creations.


The little baby footprints were stamped and the punched out and stuck on the back of an epoxy sticker. The little calender has a dewdrop on the due date, but I will move it to the correct day once the baby is born. If you look on the flowers, you can see I used Glossy Accents to put itty bitty dew drops on the petals.



The flowers were cut using Joy Crafts Flowers die set and coloured with Hero Arts Soft Blossom and Tim Holtz's new Abandoned Coral...LOVE THIS COLOUR! The music notes are from Memory Box. The pretty little butterflies are from a Stampendous Charms set. I stamped them with Ranger Jet Black Archival ink and fussy cut them out. The filigree leaves are from Prima and the doily is from Crafty Anne's.



I am entering my baby card into the following wonderful challenges:

Just a quick reminder to have a hop on over to ANYTHING BUT CUTE and meet our next design team member! First challenge starts May 5th.



That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. I read and appreciate every single one! If you have any questions, please let me know.

    What I love about this card is that although it's a fantastically wonderful baby card - you could take out the footprints and words and it could be an anytime card. It's just beautiful in every way. And that green... just almost looks real - like you could touch it and feel life! I honestly get excited when I see My Little Craft Things come up because you create to inspire Pamellia. j.

      It's funny, you're the second person to use the word waxy. They are made of fabric and it has a bit of a sheen on it, like polyester ribbon. It's very subtle but I guess my camera caught a bit of it.

    Love everything you have used on this creation.
    The recipient is going to be over the moon with it.
    I remember when my eldest granddaughter had her first baby I made a pink card and blue one just in case, and well in advance.
    Nowadays I seem to be trying to play catch up with family cards all the time.
    Hay ho the joys of a big family.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
