It is time for a new challenge at Retro Rubber! So dig out your older stamps (older than a
year) and give them some inky love! This
time around we want to see your baby critters . . . loosely defined as
something alive that is a baby!
I have some friends who announced recently that they will be
blessed with their second child. They
plan on waiting until the birth to find out the gender, so I wanted to create a
somewhat gender neutral baby card.
I started by stamping the Fiskars Teeny Tiny (2012) image in
Memento Tuxedo Black and coloring the sweet little elephant in Chameleon BL2
Baby Blue and BL4 Cornflower Blue. The
image was die cut with Spellbinders Label 34, which was pressure embossed with
Gold Label 34. The pressure embossed
areas are inked with Versa Color in Baby Blue and the edges are inked with
Versa Color Pink. A second Labels 34 is
die cut with Gold Label 34 hearts insert.
The area behind the hearts us also inked with Versa Color in pink on the
card base. The edges of the backing die
cut are inked in Versa Color in Baby Blue.
The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock then die cut with
Spellbinders Ribbon Banners. It is pressure
embossed and inked with Versa Color in Baby Blue and Pink. The layers are adhered together with
dimensional foam adhesive.
I decided to finish off the inside of the card with a
sentiment from the set and the sweet little heart!

Your baby elephant is an example of my love for this theme... so sweet! Your friends are going to love this card. It's not often that you hear the parents are waiting until the birth to know if the baby is a girl or a boy... but I rather like it!! Kudos to them!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how adorable! Elephants seem to be quite the rage right now and this one is the best reason why. I know this card will be appreciated and treasured.
