The image is a LOTV stamp,stamped with black Memento
ink and coloured with Promarkers. I die cut it with a Lil Inker stitched die and then cut a mat from some pale pink paper. I cut a piece of the patchwork design paper very slightly smaller than the front of the 15cm square base card. I used a Victorian Velvet Distress Marker to ink the edge of this and all the other cut pieces. I stuck the pale pink mat to the background paper at an offset angle and stitched 3 pale blue buttons to a length of pink ribbon before wrapping it round the paper, slightly overlapping the mat and fixing it at the back. I then fixed all this to the card, and added the image. The greeting is another LOTV stamp which I cut out by hand as none of my round dies were the right size. I used an X Cut die to cut the hexagon mat and having stuck them together I added it to the card. Both the pink and patterned paper are from a pad called Belle and Boo which contains some really pretty designs for baby and young children's cards.
The pink paper and white card used were all snippets so I am taking this to show in Pixies Snippets Playground.

ReplyDeleteWhat a darling card Jean! Love the cute image and all the details you added are lovely - right down to stitching on those buttons! I don't know that there's a circle die to properly fit those round LOTV stamps as I also end up hand cutting mine :)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you in the Playground.

Oh my goodness, can't believe she is one year old! How this year has flown away. This is just a darling card to celebrate the Big One Year, and of course the LOTV images are always so darling. Love all the pink hexagons, looks like a delicious baby quilt for the background. We are still in the throes of summer, but some of the mornings & late evenings are quite pleasant, especially if we have less humidity. Have lots of sunshine but it was lovely to have one cool gray & misty morning. Afternoon sun came back, and of course no rain to speak of since that day. TFS & Hugs
